Â鶹Éç

Available for over a year

It's the early noughties and a new genre of music is emerging from the electronic dance scene - helped by underground and pirate radio stations. Grime - which draws influences from garage, drum and bass and dancehall - eventually went mainstream a few years later thanks to artists like Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Lethal Bizzle, and Wiley. But it's also the focus of a new Â鶹Éç Three drama called 'Grime Kids', about how the genre went from subculture to global success story. It charts the rise of a group of teenagers growing up in 2001 - who live in the UK home of grime in Bow, east London - dreaming of being able to make their voice heard through music. The Â鶹Éç's Manish Pandey has been chatting with the cast.
