  • Grime and Spirit: on a Hype!
    Open Cultural Studies 2019; 3: 107-125 Research Article Monique Charles* Grime and Spirit: On a Hype! https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2019-0010 Received May 17, 2018; accepted December 7, 2018 Abstract: Grime is a genre of Black British music originating from London at the turn of the twenty-first century. In this article, I explore responses to moments of Grime music making and engagement in live performance settings. I make connections between Grime, Black music streams (Lena), Black Atlantic (Gilroy) practices, the Black Public Sphere (Baker) AND how engagements at these intersections are connected to spiritual practice in the context of live performance. The power in Grime live performance settings; where the spiritual is found, connects to the sonic characteristics deployed, embodied and emotive responses and cultural practice. Spirituality, through cultural practice, is an Africanised religious/spiritual outlook that remains with the African diaspora over time and space (Mbiti). Smith’s work shows how African derived religious and spiritual practice continues in diasporic religious practice contemporarily. Through live performance (raving/club culture), I explore and theorise how power is a) generated, b) operates, and outline the roles people play in the cultural-spiritual practice. Building on the work of Smith, Kennett, Sylvan, Mbiti and Baker, I introduce theories: 1) Liminal Energy Power Spirals (LEPS) and 2) AmunRave Theory, to show how the spirit enters live performance space. Keywords: club culture, Grime music, spirit Introduction Grime and spirituality… There is no clear link between the two; or is there? In this article, I explore responses to moments of Grime music making and engagement in live performance settings.

  • Lighting the Flame: a Report on the Impact of Make Justice Work 3 Contents
    Lighting the Flame A report on the impact of Make Justice Work Foreword Make Justice Work (MJW) was launched in 2009 as a tightly focussed campaign and it was never intended that it should run on indefinitely. The decision to draw the campaign to a close in 2013 reflected the judgement that we had succeeded in our two primary goals: to shine a bright light on the massively expensive and highly unproductive use of prison to deal with the many low-level offenders who pass through the courts each year, and to demonstrate that the best ‘community sentences’ were not only much cheaper, but more effective in helping to turn around the lives of offenders. The last few years have been tumultuous ones in the criminal justice world. In a crowded market we have succeeded in making our presence felt, thanks to the inspirational leadership of our founder, Roma Hooper, and the powerful support of our many friends and supporters. Along the way we have learned a great deal, and we are particularly proud to have explored and highlighted the serious risks associated with the proposed widespread adoption of ‘payment by results’ methods in the criminal justice field. We are also glad to have brought to the attention of politicians here in the UK the progress in reducing prison populations in certain parts of the United States by the ‘Right on Crime’ movement. Even as MJW is being wound up, we are taking steps to ensure that its legacy lives on and you can be sure that Roma will remain active in pressing home the messages that we have developed.

  • Grime: Criminal Subculture Or Public Counterculture?
    CMC0010.1177/1741659018784111Crime, Media, CultureFatsis 784111research-article2018 Article Crime Media Culture 1 –15 Grime: Criminal subculture © The Author(s) 2018 Reprints and permissions: or public counterculture? A sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav https://doi.org/10.1177/1741659018784111DOI: 10.1177/1741659018784111 critical investigation into the journals.sagepub.com/home/cmc criminalization of Black musical subcultures in the UK Lambros Fatsis University of Southampton, UK Abstract This article sets out to (re-)introduce Black urban musical subcultures as valuable forms of creativity and public expression in an attempt to resist, criticize and expose their criminalization by the London Metropolitan Police. Focusing primarily on grime, a host of unfair and illegitimate practices adopted by the London Metropolitan Police will be discussed. This will demonstrate how the routine monitoring, surveillance and curtailment of Black people’s public identity (re)produces stereotypical associations of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups with violent, criminal and problematic behaviour. In order to challenge openly discriminatory attitudes towards Black urban cultural forms by the police, a counterargument which calls for their understanding as viable sources of positive and constructive public engagement will be offered. Keywords Cultural criminology, grime, policing, race and crime, youth subcultures Hip hop and rap1 have historically been met with a considerable degree of suspicion in the US (Baker, 1995; Bridgewater et al., 2015; Cummings, 2012; Kubrin, 2005; Kubrin and Nielson, 2014; Quinn, 2005; Rose, 1994; Tatum, 1999), often seen as outward manifestations of an ‘out- law culture’ (hooks, 1994) that is perceived as dangerous, if not outrightly criminal. In the UK, the situation has not been radically different, especially in recent years, although scant attention has been afforded to the issue by the relevant literature, notable exceptions notwithstanding (Barron, 2013; Bramwell, 2015a; Ilan, 2012, 2014; Talbot, 2011).

  • “One Line Flows, Yeah I Got Some of Those”: Genre, Tradition, and the Reception of Rhythmic Regularity in Grime Flow
    “ONE LINE FLOWS, YEAH I GOT SOME OF THOSE”: GENRE, TRADITION, AND THE RECEPTION OF RHYTHMIC REGULARITY IN GRIME FLOW Alexander Harvey Marsden A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Music Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal Allen Anderson Mark Katz © 2017 Alexander Harvey Marsden ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Alexander Harvey Marsden: “One Line Flows, Yeah I Got Some of Those”: Genre, Tradition, and the Reception of Rhythmic Regularity in Grime Flow (Under the direction of Jocelyn Neal) In its musical style and performance practices, the British rap genre grime bears the traces of London’s electronic dance music scene, out of which it emerged in the early 2000s. One such trace is grime’s characteristic style of flow—the rhythmic dimensions of a rapper’s delivery of text—and the role that this plays in encouraging grime’s listeners to move. This thesis argues that grime flow exhibits a tendency towards rhythmic regularity, which differentiates it from flow styles that tend toward irregularity. Drawing from music cognition and music-theoretic work on the pleasures of repetition for listeners, particularly in electronic dance music, it asks what listeners find engaging about grime flow’s regularity. It argues, through an analysis of Skepta’s “That’s Not Me,” that grime flow encourages a participatory mode of listening from its audience, which in turn contributes to a broader orientation towards communality in the genre.
