GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

I'm ghostwriting wiley autobiography. Incidentally the thing I found most interesting about that geeneus flow Dan spyro thing was spyro saying all their dad's were mates

I pricked my ears up at that as well. If their dads were all soundmen then this makes sense (Jammer yes, Footsie yes, Wiley possibly). Otherwise it's a massive coincidence that in a city of 7 million + people such and such an MC's parents just happened to be friends with another MC's parents- especially if they come from a different part of town.

Anyway Luka please write the thing, we don't want this to be a cliche of "mixtape soon come".

I read somewhere recently Geeneus dad is/was a cab driver

Spyro and Flowdan's dads were definitely involved in music

Even guys from different areas, a lot of them went to school together i.e. chronik, trim and roachee all went to the same school at one point

LU: Did you have any family members or friends running a sound system back then?

Wiley: Yeah! I knew so many. I’ll tell you the truth, you know with us we have “This person’s your family” and really they’re not? I had loads of that. “Your uncle’s running sound,” but really it’s your dad’s long time bredrin [laughs]. When I got older I met Saxon Sound people, [grime MC] Flowdan’s dad is from Vinyl Star from Brixton. There were different influences before we even got to garage.

that said I think there are a lot of apocryphal stories in the grime scene

Trim told Blackdown that his father was actually a sort of semi-known reggae singer, no?

I have a dream that Grime needs an oral history book that consists of everyone in grime having clashing opinions. Like take for example the inevitable chapter on The Movement vs. Wiley

Justin "Ghetts" Clarke: Fam, he kicked in my nan's door. Like, who does that!? Then he's there, like a fucking gremlin, eyes popping out his head, on a real mad ting! And then he scurries off in the night! I swear! My nan wouldn't lie!
Richard "Wiley" Kylea: Trust, fam... Why would I be kicking in the doors of grandmothers? That's not realistic...
Jerome "God's Gift" Dow: Yeah, Justin showed me the door. Will must've done some "HIYAH!" Bruce Lee kick. Supposedly Will paid the bill for repairs.
Zane "Riko Dan" Williams: *laughter* Can you imagine?!? 'Justin! Justin! That Kylea boy kicked my door down!' *laughter*

possibly. think his dad died quite young though. St. Prix (his surname) is his dad's as far as I know so guessing he's descended from Francophone Africans. So maybe not reggae..

im preoccupied by the idea of the gatekeeper at the moment. how do scenes mirror society? what is the relationship between merit and attainment? to what extent is a scene merely a social circle? why meridian over total package?
