labrat said:couldn't agree more the Northen voices timbre/different slang doesn't lend itself to spitting lyrics , Grime will ALWAYS be a marginal scene in the North 'cos of this .Its sad but true( but heartning to see is the HUGE popularity of the Power Electronics revival in the more urban areas.)
well, its certainly different - but i wouldn't go as far as saying it doesn't work.
surely there are other reasons why grime isn't big outside london other than a manc accent.
