I tihink it's Alm's House but I'm not exactly sure what it means (Capleton's album "Alm's House"). I won't embarrass myself with a poor guess.

and it's one of the main reasons why i LOVE Demon. 'youdon'twannabring armshouse' etc.
for me, that still sends shivers...
i also like how grime artists use 'skank' for dance. i know that's not specifically a grime thing, but i like the idea of phrasing like that keeping the links to ska and rocksteady alive.

i'm pretty certain the almshouse/armshouse pun goes back much further than Grime, reckon the conflation/semantic shift must have originated in Jamaica, and thence migrated to London -- there's been jungle tunes with Armshouse in the title

MolexRoots said:I'm fairly new to the grime scene and I've become really taken with D Double E's styling. It doesn't sound like most of the other UKG MCs which is great. My brother, who is a commericial hip hop head, thinks " 'e sounds stoop'd"; hardly an opinion to grab on to. Dancehall has Ele for the lisp, UKG has D Double, hehe.
