Grime is a genre of urban music which has been developing in London's underground since around 2002. With its combination of influences from UK Garage, drum’n’bass, to hip-hop it is the latest style to evolve from the UK garage scene. Grime music's defining tempo at 140 beats per minute, and MCs 'spitting' lyrics, have given East London it own sound.

Dizzee Rascal is perhaps the best-known grime star, celebrated at the Mercury Music Prize in 2005 put this musical style on the map. Other established artists include Kano, Lady Sovereign, Wiley, MC Shystie, Durrty Goodz, and the Roll Deep Crew. Pirate radio stations promote up and coming grime artists, helping them to achieve the much needed underground success.
