A GUARDIAN, OBSERVER, PITCHFORK, NPR, METRO AND HERALD SCOTLAND
BEST MUSIC BOOK OF 2018 'The definitive grime biography' NME 'A
landmark genre history' Pitchfork The year 2000. As Britain
celebrates the new millennium, something is stirring in the
crumbling council estates of inner-city London. Making beats on
stolen software, spitting lyrics on tower block rooftops and
beaming out signals from pirate-radio aerials, a group of teenagers
raised on UK garage, American hip-hop and Jamaican reggae stumble
upon a dazzling new genre. Against all odds, these young MCs will
grow up to become some of the UK's most famous musicians, scoring
number one records and dominating British pop culture for years to
come. Hip-hop royalty will fawn over them, billion dollar brands
will queue up to beg for their endorsements and through their
determined DIY ethics they'll turn the music industry's logic on
its head. But getting there won't be easy. Successive governments
will attempt to control their music, their behaviour and even their
clothes. The media will demonise them and the police will shut down
their clubs. National radio stations and live music venues will ban
them. There will be riots, fighting in the streets, even murder.
And the inner-city landscape that shaped them will be changed
beyond all recognition. Drawn from over a decade of in depth
interviews and research with all the key MCs, DJs and industry
players, in this extraordinary book the UK's best grime journalist
Dan Hancox tells the remarkable story of how a group of outsiders
went on to create a genre that has become a British institution.
Here, for the first time, is the full story of grime.
