'Grime Originals' Is Bringing Back The True Spirit Of Grime

'Grime Originals' Is Bringing Back The True Spirit Of Grime


September 27, 2017

Grime Originals, Sharky Major's series of shows dedicated to bringing back the culture and spirit of grime, held their latest rave last weekend and now the full footage of the main set (filmed by the legendary Rooney 'Risky Roadz' Keefe) is online for you to watch.

Grime Originals have run a few raves recently. Their last rave, back in July, will be remembered for a surprise appearance from Skepta, but this month's was even more star-studded: Stormin, Sharky Major, Frisco, Maxwell D, Flirta D, Flowdan, Discarda, Chronik, Riko Dan, Trilla, Ryder, Bruza, God's Gift (aka Mucky Wolfpack), Manga, Kwam, Ozzie B, Fumin, G Man, Royal, So Large, Lioness, President T, Nasty Jack, Saskilla, Face and even an appearance from Wiley. In short, the entire grime scene, both old and new, was there. 

The whole thing was a straight adrenaline rush from start to finish, but keep an eye out for Wiley getting a reload the second he touches mic (8:22), Pay As U Go veteran Maxwell D doing "Serious", and God's Gift doing "Know We". It was, in short, an education on both the new and old schools and a good reminder of how hard those early riddims are.
