East London grime vet D Double E has not only been in the scene since its beginning, but has remained an vital part of it. Having released loads of records as a member of the Newham Generals alongside partner Footsie, it almost seems blasphemous to imagine that 'Jackuum!' is his debut LP. Finally delivering what grime fans have craved for years now, the new album is limited to a small number of features which only include Wiley, Skepta, AJ Tracey and Littlez, as well as boasts heavy production from the likes of Spyro, Swindle, Swifta and more.
At this point East London's D Double E pretty much has a permanent etching in the mountain of grime. As someone who helped to pioneer the genre, he has remained in the top tier list of emcees for years now. With his debut LP 'Jackuum!' landing this summer, D Double has shared the third single from the album titled 'Back Then'. Delving into a bit of his history including the days of jungle and even watching 'Top of the Pops' with his family as a youth, the track is premium grime at its finest delivered from a veteran of the game who has yet to fall from his reign. Check it out.
There is no question that East London's D Double E is a legend in grime. Aside from helping to firmly lay down a foundation for the scene, some of his verses are the most memorable in grime. The Newham General member teams up with the big man himself Skepta for the single and video 'Nang'. Directed by Ed Hubert, D Double and Skepta pass the mic back in forth in an old school warehouse rave setting. The song is taken from D Double E's upcoming solo album 'Jackuum!'. Check it out.
When it comes to pumping out recordings, the Godfather of grime himself Wiley, has always had a work rate that has been unmatched. Even though his critically acclaimed 'Godfather' album dropped in January of this year, the East London-raised artist is already slated to drop his new LP 'Godfather II' in March of 2018.
Having already given fans a taste of the forthcoming album with his single 'Call The Shots', Wiley now unleashes another track called 'Bar', which features the likes of D Double E and fellow Roll Deep comrade Scratchy. Pounding with deep bass hits and fuzzy synths, 'Bar' is premium Wiley, completely driving down his lane, which at this point might as well be the certified named road. Have a listen.
