Yeah, Purple and L Man certainly do a lot of explitictly political stuff. But I generally agree that a lot of Grime is inherently political. Partiucularly Dogzilla actually- although he has songs about taking lots of pills, his songs about big nights out and losing lots of money ("Where's My Money Gone" or whatever it's called) has a certain edge of desparation that makes it political. This whole angle of "I've done a big tune, I've got a couple of grand" has to be seen in a context where this windfall is seen as almost pure blind luck, and next month he might well be signing on.
On a side note, whatever happened to his tune "who the fuck wanna fuck with me who the fuck wanna fuck with me"? I'm not saying that was political, but it was absolutely awesome. Possibly one of my favorite tunes of the year. Logan?
In fact, isn't the Fire Hydrant rhythm far and away the biggest grime rhythm of the year? Any serious competitors- Dexplicit's "Hench", perhaps?
