Stop listening to Lily Allen's LDN...
And 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...
