This mix probably ventures into a few tunes that could be called other genres but the influence of what is seen as Grime now is there.
I having been buying the music, playing it in my DJ sets and on Unfold radio for a while now. I personally find a lot of the artists very inspiring. I love the fact JME does not put his videos up on YouTube and makes quality uncompromising music. Wiley is one of those artists that I have bought so much of his music over the years, alongside Public Enemy, James Brown, A Tribe Called Quest, Fela Kuti, DJ Premier he takes up a lot of space in my record collection. I loved Skepta's That's Not Me when I first heard it, great lyrics and production and a £70 video that won Best Video at the Mobo's! Grime is doing what the best music has done over the decades by creating its own rules and then also breaking them if it feels right (just check F'Off on the mix….purely Bongos and Percussion….is that Grime?).
