Hello everyone,
I recently updated our "Where To Find Grime" wiki with a list of resources on finding new grime.
I imagine some of you may find this useful. Feel free to drop any resources/links etc in the comments as well.
A lot of grime releases end up on Bandcamp, use the following tags (there are some additional minor ones as well):
These blogs generally post info about new grime releases:
The #grime-only channel on the /r/grime discord https://discord.gg/STmpA7aFRv often has new grime posted.
We also have a feed for NEW grime uploads on YouTube.
Below is a list of playlists across platforms, primarily dedicated to promoting newly released grime music. If you have one, send us a message. Any platform welcome.
note: following artists on Spotify will ensure they show up on your Release Radar playlist.
For new radio sets and other misc videos (e.g interviews), try this playlist
FILTERING
Sort /r/grime by the FRESH tag and you'll have a neat feed of new releases (either click this link or manually type flair:fresh subreddit:grime in the reddit search bar). Every new release tends to get posted here.
The above filter will also include grime sets, but if you're not interested in sets, you can filter them out by adding -flair:fresh_set like so.
Quick tip: if you're on desktop, you can add this bookmarklet to your bookmarks. If you click it while browsing the r/grime feed, it'll open a new tab with a YouTube playlist of all the videos on the r/grime page you click the bookmarklet on. A quick way to listen to all the videos posted on the r/grime frontpage, for example.
RSS
If you have an RSS reader, you can follow this RSS feed to grab all fresh music submissions from this sub.
INSTRUMENTALS
Check /r/grimeinstrumentals for beats.
Spotify
A bot automatically adds the top upvoted posts every week to a Spotify playlist.
Some good accounts to follow that post new releases:
Many artists, labels, stations etc can also be found on Twitter. Peep our Twitter Lists:
The following channels upload new grime content (see here for YouTube channels that upload old grime content). Note that were are other YouTube channels that upload new grime, but they typically do so more rarely, and are not listed here as a result. Also not included are artist-specific channels.
Radio Cult, on Android or Apple, is highly recommended - it is an app created by people from within the scene and makes it easy to listen to stations live that broadcast grime music. Most of the stations you'd want, including the ones below, can be listened to via Radio Cult.
1Xtra plays a diverse range of music, but DJ Target and Sir Spyro both have shows where they play plenty of grime. Spyro is more-so grime oriented.
Russian radio station that plays grime songs.
One of the best grime stations out there. Rinse FM has a long and storied history. It is generally reliable for high quality radio sets and interviews.

Hope it's helpful to someone. Also got pages up now for Aftershock, Riko Dan and Nasty Crew as part of my project to improve the grime coverage on there

I'm rediscovering some the old grime songs I used to listen to back in school, some 14 / 15 years ago.
I have a specific beat in my head for a song I'm trying to trace, I think an incomplete lyric goes something like "it's just the same old (struggles?) (battles?) again and again".
It's not 'same old story' by Skepta. I think the song had Wiley and or Mercston feature, but despite all my searching on Google and chatgpt I can't get a match. Probably because I don't have a complete lyric to search with.
If anyone feels they know this one and can point me in the right direction, you'd be helping me trace a song I've been searching months for. Cheers in advance!

I feel like I always see loads of ai being posted on Instagram by grime MCs. Same with cover art on Spotify and stuff. Is there an actual reason they do this or are they just lazy?
r/grime • u/jickiechin • 1d ago
Come ownnnn mayyyynee
Sorry to be the resident whinger in here the last few days but wtf is this? Sheer AI slop, they only barely look like the MC or some of them not at all. If it didn't say it was D Double or Ghetts on the card I wouldn't know it was them, Wiley didn't look that young as an actual child.
The text isn't even relevant to the guys on them which makes the fact that they're proper dumb even worse. What does spirit bomb have to do with ghetts? What does Brap Brap Brap have to do with Double? The JME one says "sbeaking my mind", and just look at the second pic for the text on the Skepta one, what is that even supposed to say? I don't mind Wize but this just feels like a fuckin absolute grift to pander to the 2016 crowd. Comes across like a grime equivalent of quirk chungus humour.
Where's the shit filter in the genre bro this is like some next NFT level slop

I used to work at a rubbish dump in London,UK, we would get unpaid storage lots come in all the time. In this one was a bass guitar and a lot of awards, gold discs for Wiley, I’m guessing he didn’t paid his bill and it got chucked out.
I was wondering if anyone can help me identify it. It looks pretty old so maybe he got it from someone else ?

used to be on youtube back then but it’s gone now. there’s only the audio of the time he pulled up to Rinse
just randomly thought of it lol, would be cool if someone still has a copy cos it’s quite deep grime lore
r/grime • u/jickiechin • 2d ago
please don't do this
double needs to just take old bars he's not made into tunes and put them on good instrumentals because he's truly run out of inspiration
r/grime • u/Used-Concentrate-418 • 2d ago
does anyone know why the bashy.com album from 2008 can not be found anywhere? had tracks like drive, ugly slums and my favourite track on the album- think twice with ft. 32.

Which MCs and which specific bars come to mind for their wittiness whether it’s the metaphors, homophones, similes and other technical lyricism on display?
r/grime • u/TheLocksta • 2d ago
Add this one to your playlists people! A mix between grime and dub this one’s a banger! Any feedback appreciated 🫡
