Risky Roadz To Release New Doc Shedding Light On Birmingham's Explosive Grime Scene


June 21, 2021

Soon to make a crash landing on Amazon Prime is the new documentary, Risky Roadz 0121, a co-production between Roony Keefe and Two Yanks & A Brit UK, which takes a detailed look at Birmingham's grime scene with a particular focus on some of the city's stars like Jaykae, Lady Leshurr and Mist.

Keefe is the brains behind the videos to Skepta's iconic "Man" and "It Ain't Safe" and has geared up once again to provide an in-depth and immersive experience of the Midlands' storied grime scene and culture.

Speaking on its exciting release, Keefe shares: "UK music and culture are at the top of their game right now, with our sound topping the charts and stealing hearts. For me to use the Risky Roadz name again for a documentary it had to be a story worth telling: the Birmingham grime scene and the infrastructure that's made it, is just that. When grime was quiet in London, Birmingham was still going strong. We’ve all come so far, myself included, and to really appreciate the journey you have to look at places that don’t always get the credit they deserve."

He continues, “Birmingham is one of these places and a place special to grime and myself. The DIY ethos lives strong here and Risky Roadz 0121 will show you everything you need to know about the independent mentality. You have an idea you want to make happen? Make it happen. The only person stopping you is yourself, so dream big.”

To accompany its release on June 25 is an all-star collection of tracks from Mya Remi, Tempa, K2 and more, all curated by Despa Robinson.
