While a classic - would not call this Grime in the slightest

[u/Radiant_Distance2663 → u/TreXeh]

The Streets were too monumental to British Garage not to post this unfortunately, they did have some grime influences tbf

[u/Ok_Fig2374 → u/Radiant_Distance2663]

Tbf he didn’t fully fit into either scenes but people within those genres respect him enough

[u/JustJim93 → u/Ok_Fig2374]

Which is why I like UKG as a genre because it encapsulated everything.

Classic

[u/Gullible_Lynx3678]

Nero remix was incredible

[u/kickergold → u/Gullible_Lynx3678]

Still got the bass in yer face cd with this on, plus a couple unreal pendulum remixes

[u/taurus26 → u/Gullible_Lynx3678]

Shits on the original tbh

[u/Fearless_Dark9159]

Kidulthood

[u/TheHolyGoalie]

If you ever get a chance to see him perform live do it, he’s class.

Always wanted an extened version of this where the background edm tune just goes off 'Born Slippy' style

[u/Automatic-Cow-9969]

Could have posted the Bashy version for grime

[u/Automatic-Cow-9969 → u/Automatic-Cow-9969]

Think it was called my nightmare

[u/gadgetboy123]

The Mitchell brothers did a remix of this, worth checking it out

[u/Kanye_fuk]

The Mitchell Brothers remix made better use of the beat. I'm sure that on the b-side opened up a lot of ears outside london to a particular vocal style and helped grime spread. Not to the same extent as Boy in da Corner being everywhere the year and a bit earlier, but it was something.
