Beats, Bass and Bars - The Story of Grime

Presented by Rodney P, the 'Godfather of British rap', who has been making hip hop with a British accent since the 1980s, this one-hour film celebrates the extraordinary story of how Grime rose from the council estates of a few streets in East London to become the most important British musical movement since punk.

Pioneers of #UKHipHop. There'd be no #grime scene without these guys.

#UKBreakbeatHistory

Hail up #LondonPosse!

The first UK Hip Hop group to rap in their own accents. Until then groups had mimicked American artists but LP used Jamaican DJ styles combined with Cockney geezer personas and the new style was born.

Although must shout out Smiley Culture for the true Cockney Rasta style a few years earlier but that was much more on the Reggae tip.

#GangsterChronicals still holds up today.
