GRIME
East London MC-led sound of the early 2000s, around 140 BPM, with jagged electronic beats grown out of UK garage, jungle and dancehall; Wiley first called it eskibeat.[1] Dizzee Rascal's Boy in da Corner won the 2003 Mercury Prize, and Lethal Bizzle's "Pow! (Forward)" (2004) was the first grime single in the UK Top 20.[1]
