Grime + Gentrification
GRIME + GENTRIFICATION In London the streets have a voice, multiple actually, afro beats, drill, Lily Allen, the sounds of the city are just as diverse but unapologetically London as the people who live here, but my sound runs at 140 bpm. When I close my eyes and imagine London I see tower blocks, the concrete isn’t harsh, it’s warm from the sun bouncing off it, almost comforting, council estates are a community, I hear grime, it’s not the prettiest of sounds but when you’ve been raised on it, it’s home. “Grime is not garage Grime is not jungle Grime is not hip-hop and Grime is not ragga. Grime is a mix between all of these with strong, hard hitting lyrics. It's the inner city music scene of London. And is also a lot to do with representing the place you live or have grown up in.” - Olly Thakes, Urban Dictionary Or at least that’s what Urban Dictionary user Olly Thake had to say on the matter back in 2006, and honestly, I couldn’t have put it better myself. Although I personally trust a geezer off of Urban Dictionary more than an out of touch journalist or Good Morning Britain to define what grime is, I understand that Urban Dictionary may not be the most reliable source due to its liberal attitude to users uploading their own definitions with very little screening and that Mr Thake’s definition may also leave you with more questions than answers about what grime actually is and how it came to be.

Foregrounding Female Agency in the Dance Culture of Nigeria
WHAT I DO WHEN I DANCE: FOREGROUNDING FEMALE AGENCY IN THE DANCE CULTURE OF NIGERIA Oladoyin Abiona A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2021 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Jeremy Wallach Rahdika Gajjala © 2021 Oladoyin Abiona All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor Scholarship on female representations in hip hop has been predominantly premised on the sexualization of the female body. By focusing mainly on this singular aspect of the genre, we reduce the whole essence of womanhood in the industry to such interpretations. The limited scope of such discussions deprives the women of opportunities to tell their own stories of what they do when they dance. Seeing the cultural significance of dance as a form of popular culture in the Nigerian context, this essay, from a feminist perspective, closes this gap by engaging in a qualitative exploration of the lives of three female dancers in Nigeria telling their stories through dance. They are Kaffayat Oluwatoyin Shafau (Kaffy), Odumewu Debbie (Debbiepinkie), and Usiwo Orezinena Jane (Janemena). Exploring their social media archives, interviews granted to TV stations and a published autobiography “Alajoota” by Kaffy, this essay contextualizes and complicates the interpretations of sexualization in the Nigerian hip hop dance industry. Through dance Nigerian women performers are able to negotiate the heavily male-dominated hip hop scene. For them, dance is a coping strategy, a profession, a space for redefining self and embracing sexuality and femininity, and a form of youthful identity and inclusion.

Following a series of bans against drill music videos and the imposition of Criminal Behaviour Orders and gang injunctions against drill artists, discussions on the defensibility of such measures call for urgent, yet hitherto absent, sociological reflections on a topical issue. This article attempts to fill this gap, by demonstrating how UK drill and earlier Black music genres, like grime, have been criminalised and policed in ways that question the legitimacy of and reveal the discriminatory nature of policing young Black people by the London Metropolitan Police as the coercive arm of the British state. Drawing on the concept of racial neoliberalism, the policing of drill will be approached theoretically as an expression of the discriminatory politics that neoliberal economics facilitates in order to exclude those who the state deems undesirable or undeserving of its protection. Keywords drill music, grime, policing of Black music subcultures, police racism, race and crime, racial neoliberalism In an atmosphere of rolling news stories about the ‘knife-crime epidemic’ that sweeps the UK’s capital (Channel 4 News, 2018; Lyness & Powell, 2018), drill music has emerged as the ‘soundtrack to London’s murders’ (Knight, 2018) and even blamed for ‘London’s wave of violent crime’ (Beaumont-Thomas, 2018).

Many named geofilters – particularly those on Snapchat – as the standout tool of the year. So we decided to speak to them in terms of both how and why they are using them. Cost and accessibility are big factors as acts of any size can use Geofilters without breaking the bank. Deploying them around concerts seems to be the current trend for most, although everyone is keen to find a variety of use cases for them. Fans clearly like them, but those not totally sold on the idea say their success and value is often implied rather than measurable.

Skepta Album Download Free Ignorence Skepta: Ignorance Is Bliss Review – Fatherhood and Ear-Candy Beats
skepta album download free ignorence Skepta: Ignorance Is Bliss review – fatherhood and ear-candy beats. G rime is a particularly complicated genre in which to mature, not least for an MC whose gravelly delivery and fierce intelligence have long given him the aura of an elder statesman. Having won the Mercury prize with his last full-length, 2016’s Konnichiwa , and crossed over to US hip-hop audiences, the bar for Skepta’s long-awaited fifth album is set high. Ignorance Is Bliss handles the MC’s next steps with authority and, crucially, popping production. “Yeah, we did young and stupid,” the north London MC declares, “Now I do grown and sexy.” Fatherhood is addressed with matter-of-fact swagger and a buggy that co-stars in the video for this album’s fiery lead track, Bullet from a Gun. There are flute loops and garage tracks, weird noises and ear-candy beats. Last year’s Vicious EP found Skepta flexing his transatlantic hip-hop cachet. Here the spotlight lights up the UK scene. The standout What Do You Mean features a smoother-than-ever hook from J Hus. A questionable reference to Ike Turner aside, Skepta retains his dry wit throughout: “Must have been talking about sex if I ever said I was gonna come second,” he smirks on the old-school You Wish. Skepta’s ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’ Is a Thrilling Crash Course in Grime. The rise of grime from pirate radio broadcasts to the lush carpets of Buckingham Palace and Mercury Prize recognition began in part as a reaction to the glossy symmetry of dance music in the late ’90s and early aughts.
