m8 they've been literally banning the few crews who aren't killing each other from making music, I think dissensus is the least of these lads worries.
they're not banning the producers.
The producers are perhaps the least important contributors to the scene frankly.
This is the major difference between grime and drill. Grime is (and typically has always been) mostly dependant on great producers and the MCs to fill a role. It's absolutely the inverse in Drill which is why people often have the complaint that "they all sound the same". They do all sound the same because the producers are mostly incredibly self-derivative.

I bet this is something to do with solely using a phone to write with now as well, with a phone you tend to just write down little clips (me anyway) of information then collate them later, and these guys are completely phone driven in terms of when they do live stuff etc.
Also is it me or do the Hackney rappers sound somewhat more amped and lively than the normally flat sedate South london man?
