true. maybe its the strangely large influence dipset have on grime (everything from slang like 'its nothing' to 'true stories' etc etc). grime producers seem to like the diplomats' producers heatmakerz a lot.
as far as grime news, mizz beats has an interview in plan b this month and confirms what i thought from listening to beats like DEE signal, that she never really wanted to make grime, she was trying to make hip hop (at least with that beat she was) and well, didnt get it wrong. it makes sense, that beat sounds like something a def jux rapper would rhyme over - its ultra dry, very stiff, cold, the sonics are US indie-hip hop to a tee. she should produce for subtle or someone on anticon.
