DESCRIPTION:
.. Grime, also known as 8-bar, nu shape, sublow and eskibeat, is a style of British music that emerged in Bow, London. It was developed by teens of mostly African and Caribbean heritage, in the early 2000s, primarily as a development of UK garage, drum and bass, hip hop and dancehall.

Pioneers of this style include English mcs Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, Roll Deep, Lethal Bizzle, More Fire Crew, Tinchy Stryder, Ruff Sqwad, Kano, Skepta, JME, Jammer, Boy Better Know, Durrty Goodz, Crazy Titch, Newham Generals, Chip, Ghetts, Devlin, Wretch 32 and Scorcher.

Grime emerged from Bow, East London with its origins on UK pirate radio stations such as Rinse FM, Deja Vu FM, Freeze 92.7 and Major FM.com which were essential to the evolution of the genre. At this point, the style was known by a number of names, including 8-bar (meaning 8 bar verse patterns), nu shape (which encouraged more complexed 16 bar and 32 bar verse patterns), sublow (a reference to the very low bassline frequencies, often around 40 Hz), as well as eskibeat, a term applied specifically to a style initially developed by Wiley and his collaborators, incorporating dance and electro elements. This indicated the movement of UK garage away from its house influences towards darker themes and sounds. Among the first tracks to be labelled "grime" as a genre in itself were "Eskimo" by Wiley, "Pulse X" by Musical Mob and "Dilemma" by So Solid Crew.
