There is nothing like a good grime track. When Fusion made his appearance on the 'Lord Of The Mics 7' comp, it was evident that he was going to make a lot of noise in the scene. Back with two new tracks 'No' and 'Rudeboy' both showcased in one video, the East London rapper sprays bars in a flat pirate radio style, with the sharp visuals directed by Bipolar Spider. Both songs will appear on Fusion's forthcoming EP 'Genesis'. Check it out.
Boy Better Know's Skepta continues to run with the torch for the grime scene as he unleashes the video for his song 'Man'. Replicating the days when grime sets used to be recorded on camcorders, Skepta and the team mash up the stage and then continue the party backstage as the footage is documented with Russian subtitles. There are also clips of crew members having a run in with the police. The video is like a combination of old school road life with a punk aesthetic. 'Man' is taken from Skepta's album 'Konnichiwa'. Have a look.

Anyone who is tuned in to the grime scene would have heard a number of instrumentals from London-based producer Sh?m. From his onslaught of bass-shaking tracks like 'Get Back' to the more mellow edits that he's done of MNEK's 'Don't Call This Love' and Craig David's 'All The Way', Sh?m has definitely dropped a number of nuclear bangers. His remix of AJ Tracey's 'Spirit Bomb' was absolutely bonkers and with his new EP 'Mobb Boss' landing April 22nd on Kapsize, Sh?m now shares the title track which was heard on an SBTV cipher with D Double E, Stormzy, Lady Leshurr and Aaron Unknown. Let's just say that this track is a meeting ground of smooth synths with the grimiest bass line possible. Have a listen.

South London producer Darq E Freaker made his name in the grime scene years ago, producing monster tracks such as Tempa T's 'Next Hype'. Constantly evolving in sound, he went on to work with acts such Danny Brown, D Double E and more. The Peckham native now unleashes his latest mixtape 'ADHD', out April 30th via Big Dada. Consisting of 5 tracks in total, the record is a sonic barrage of hyper-bass frequencies infusing trap, twisted electronica and grime. Just like his 'Don't Freak Out' mixtape from earlier this year, Darq E Freaker is definitely taking you on mental roller coaster ride at full speed.
For his latest video 'This Is England', East London's Kano travels throughout the country highlighting various cities such as Liverpool, Newcastle and more. Directed by Ben Falk and Kano himself, there are clips of him moving about in different locations such as traditional pubs, the raves and the countryside. In our book, he is top rated for the hook alone with the "back when Lethal Bizzle was Lethal B" bit. The song is taken from his latest album 'Made In The Manor'. Check it out.
London producer Rude Kid has been on sheer fire lately. With his new instrumental EP 'Noah's Ark' landing March 25th, the grime head honcho now shares the track 'Wiley Kat'. Clearly paying homage to the 'Godfather of Grime' Wiley, the production incorporates classic grime compositions with sinister strings weaved around a menacing bass line.
Speaking to i-D Magazine, Rude Kid mentioned:
"I named this tune after the godfather of grime, Wiley, because when I was making it I was picturing him MCing over the tune. I think he was the first person I showed it to when it was done and I was flattered that he loved it. It's the perfect tune for my DJ sets."
