Underground Grime Scene

For this research project i plan to look at and document the growth and development of the Grime music scene though the internet.

wikipedia has a page on the grime scene where it talks about the origins and development of the music."Grime is a sub-genre of urban music which first emerged in London in the early 2000s, primarily a development of UK garage, drum and bass, dancehall and hip hop.[1] The music is typified by sparse and minimalist 2step breakbeats, generally around 130-140 beats per minute, and an aggressive and fast rapping style - often in double time"
