Durrty Goodz - Axiom EP 43%

Wiley - Playtime Is Over 16%

Tinchy Stryder - Star In The Hood 10%

Ghetto - Ghetto Gospel 10%

Roll Deep - Rules and Regulations 8%

Skepta - Greatest Hits 8%

Kano - London Town 2%

So, an overwhelming winner in Durrty Goodz, follwed by Wiley. It may seem surprising of Skepta's results considering the positive response it recieved upon release back in September. However, somewhat unsurprising are Kano's results as in my opinion, was a dissapointing follow up to Home Sweet Home despite it not being a strictly grime album.

"The aggressive, minimal soundstructures shaking out of cars at the lights all over the London and beyond; the tense soundtrack of stations like Rinse and Freeze that has re-energised London's pirate radio scene. The unclassifiable beats rolling out the door of record stores like Rythym Division in Bow and the aggressive, spitting rhyme battles jumping out of DVD's like Lord Of The Mics or Conflict...
This music first starting emerging around 2002, Wiley's monolithic 'Eskimo' and Dizzees' 'I Luv U' both pivotal moments. Even now, the sonic shock of those tracks - full of sounds and samples that no-one else even thought of using and vocals that sounded like they were fighting with the beats for space - is undiminished."
Now although its now mid 2007, this desciption of grime music is still relevant and is a great way of displaying to a non convert of this genre what this is all about. Then sit them down and play them P&Q's by Kano, Get Set by Doctor, Big Seac, Demon, Kano etc or When I'm Ere by Roll Deep and with hope, they will see why we all love this music.
When people ask what music I like, I reply grime. I then find myself explaining what this is. To put it simply, it is unashamably British street music. People say grime had it's peak between 2002 - 2004 but I feel we are just getting started....
