Grime is perhaps the most important British musical movement since Britpop. An electronic music formed from equal parts 2-Step Garage, Jungle and Hip-Hop, when it emerged in the early 2000s it was exciting, innovative and entirely the UK’s own thing. Grime had existed before Dizzee Rascal, with artists like Wiley, So Solid Crew, Lethal B and "Pulse X" leading the way, though yet to be named as such, but he was the one that brought it to the masses. His debut single, the jittering grime bounce of “I Luv U” and "The Big Beat"-assisted old school Hip Hop of "Fix Up, Look Sharp" burst the teenager onto the national scene, followed in short order by his Mercury Prize winning Boy In Da Corner album. Fizzing with his energetic yelp, it was what Simon Reynolds’ would later describe as ‘Grime’s “Anarchy In the UK”’; and the scene would soon follow in Dizzee Rascal’s 140BPM sub-low footsteps. But how did this come about? This is New British Canon and this is the story of “I Luv U.”
