What do you feel is holding "Grime" back?
The fact that people are so quick to shun grime artists releases, claiming its not grime, but when their asked "what is grime?" you get hundreds of different answers. We can just tell whos a grime artist and who isn't. Sway, Professor Green and K-lash all have spat on grime songs, but we all know there hip-hop artists. The same goes for say Ghetto on hip hop, we KNOW hes a grime artist no matter what. I believe the reason is, grime has become a culture and we should stand by our artists flying the grime flag, even if they don't just do that genre every single time they do a song.
How much of the new mixtape will be grime?
See the joke is i honestly have no idea. Im a Grime MC through and through, and in my eyes, like 75-80% of it is grime or heavily grime influenced. But in an age where people say JME isnt making grime i have no idea. There are alot of influence from other genres within alot of the tracks and I think thats when it gets confusing I guess but hey, at least theres no high speed vocal sample hip hop!
