Grime is a genre of urban music which first emerged in London in the early 2000s, primarily a development of UK garage, drum and bass, dancehall and hip hop.[1]

Origins and development.
Grime originated from the UK, mainly in London. Many of the artists found their success in the underground first before gaining mainstream attention.
Examples of the sound can be heard in the late 20th century, with tracks by So Solid Crew, More Fire Crew's "Oi", and Sticky's "Boo" which featured Ms. Dynamite. This indicated the movement of UK Garage away from its R'n'B and hip-hop influences towards darker themes and sounds.
Dizzee Rascal and Wiley(both former Roll Deep members) were possibly the first artists to bring the genre to the media's attention with their two albums "Boy in Da Corner" and"Treddin' On Thin Ice" respectively. Among the first tracks to be recognised as grime were "Eskimo" by Wiley who was the founder of the "Eskibeat" label and "Pulse X" by Musical Mob.
Dizzee Rascal achieved broad critical and commercial acclaim, with Boy in Da Corner eventually winning the 2003 Mercury Music Prize. Grime has received a lot of exposure from television stations including Channel U, Logan Sama's s
