fingertroubleAnd look at this great photo essay and spoken word from the photographer about grime and the yoot of Lahndahn.
This is the real ting about 'LDN', not that radio-friendly rich girl Lily shite.

And if you just like social photography, check it out.
Most worrying, and what I share with the photographer is the US influence, I like grime precisely cos it's not gangsta rap, it's not fake, it's more down-to-earth real and local, it would be a shame to lose that. Why can't they make it here rather than looking to the US who apart from maybe the Hyphy peeps won't get the garage sound?
Although Plan B and his talk about 'blads' is a bit histrionic and partly sounds made up...
