If I had to rank them:
- Roll Deep
- Ruff Sqwad
- Nasty Crew
- Slew Dem
The rest are behind those four and hard to pick between.

OGz, not the best. But easily my favourite if that makes sense

Yeah I get you man, do you generally prefer solo grime artists than crews?

I know I'm not answering your question, by including a different group, but growing up listening to 1Xtra when they had DJ Cameo on Saturday's and DJ Q on Friday's alternated with Aftershock Camp, I used to listen to them every fortnight. So I'm gonna have to fly the flag for Aftershock. I used to love and still do love listening to Bruza, Triple Threat, Krucial Kid and Specs who as we know is pretty well-known now. Tiny Tempah was also in Aftershock. Ironik too and the late Terror Danjah RIP 🙏. There was a guy called Cyclone who I have I think, on just one set I have. Royal too (GBHH)! Devilman also joined a bit later. So I'm being biased! Next though I'll have to go with Neckle Camp and Bloodline!

No man I welcome crews not in my List, I probably should have mentioned that! I have a mixtape by them I think but didn't give it a decent listen so will look up their music! And yeah some of the names you mention I've defo heard of most of them and listened to them. It's sad grime changed over time but I suppose every genre evolves

It's mad how tiniest tempah used to sound like dizzee to a fuckin t and then sounds completely different when he gets famous lol reminds me of the diss Chip made for him. And I like all three artists btw just thought Chip had a point

What iteration of Roll Deep though is the question, but it’s probably BBK for me

u/AlusKras 1d ago
No East Connection or SLK???

u/Existing-Dare8937 1d ago
I'll have to check out East Connection i probably know them without knowing i do cause I listened to so much grime

u/Werten25 1d ago
Where’s Fire Camp?
Personally, I’d go Roll Deep.

u/Existing-Dare8937 1d ago
Didn't put them in as never really listened to much of their stuff but will check them out! Good place to get recommended crews

Roll deep for me. Most are better as a crew than individuals just in my opinion
