HighlyRated

HIGHLY RATED ENTERTAINMENT is an collective of some of London's brightest young talents. Originally formed as a 'grime crew' in 2005, the new initiative sees HRE as an affiliation brand, with the long term goal to develop to a vanity label.



Each artist has earned stripes on their own merit, honing their considerable talents on a variety of pirate and commercial stations throughout London and nationwide, including airwaves via BBC RADIO 1, BBC 1XTRA, CHOICE FM, KISS, MYSTIC FM, DÉJÀ VU, RINSE FM, HEAT FM and more.



And they're not just experienced in broadcasting alone - they also know their way around the studio! Their most notable release was the gargantuan 'MISSION RIDDIM' (by D.Dark), which went on to sell over 2000 copies and featured in the BBC's Panorama documentary series. D.Dark also featured on FLUKES's massive 'WIFEY RIDDIM' in 2006, receiving prodigious support from all major fm stations. Other significant recorded moments include 'Best Ov Both', the debut mixtape from reknown grime/bashment specialist Shizzle, and three videos reaching the Top 20 in the Channel AKA chart, including the ground-shattering "Breakin' The Scene" featuring In Da Hood and Crazy Titch.



The Highly Rated sound is unique because they are definitively more artistic than other groups in their genre. Their sound is clearer to people who may not be familiar with the UK underground sound, which is predominantly aggressive. Expect big things from this group, who have been patiently waiting for their chance, whilst slowly working their way up the rankings.
