Risky Roadz & Jammer To Bring New Grime Exhibition To Museum Of London


April 19, 2022

Hitting the Museum of London in June, Grime Stories: From The Corner To The Mainstream was co-curated by revered documentarian Risky Roadz with the help of Jammer whose basement studio birthed the Lord Of The Mics series as well as countless foundational releases.

The exhibit will also feature commissioned films from DJ Slimzee, Skepta, and a tribute to Rinse FM. Through archived footage and photographs, the exhibition will trace the genesis of the genre and its widespread evolution since its roots were planted in East London.

Speaking on the project, Risky Roadz says, "Grime is a culture in itself and uniquely houses London's attitude and DIY spirit. In two decades, it has given so much back, not only to the city but to an international audience. Grime's influence has changed music forever.

"This Museum of London display makes me feel proud to see grime's legacy acknowledged, knowing how far the scene has come and how essential it is to London's culture. Grime continues to push boundaries and Grime Stories: From The Corner To The Mainstream will bring its history and pioneering work to a whole new audience."

Grime Stories: From The Corner To The Mainstream opens June 17 at the Museum Of London.
