Radio 1 Stories - It's Grime Up North

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- Charlie Sloth has been on a road-trip to find the hottest rappers up North and try to understand why rap music in the U.K is dominated by the London scene. He's travelled from Newcastle to Liverpool, Manchester to Sheffield, Huddersfield to Leeds - spent time in boxing gyms with aspiring MC's, and met feared battle-rappers working the night-shift in Morrisons. From rap to grime to bassline to house, this is the story of the MC scene in the North of England right now.
It's Grime Up North is Radio 1 and 1Xtra's first multi-platform documentary which means you can choose to watch or listen across the Radio, TV and Online.

just watched tower block dreams with a young charlie sloth. he had a interesting past. He was a knob in that and now he's a bigger knob.
Genuine lol! moment. Thank you.
Amazing! I also watched it the other day and though he’s a complete helmet.
Yup
I've somehow managed to avoid hearing much of Charlie sloth but watched that too because I've always liked skinnyman, sloth sounded like a whining little girl when he rhymed 😂
Just watched that and now I’m here,,yea knob he is 😂
Ten years later he did what he set out to do .. he found the kings of the north facts Charlie sloth got my RESPECT
Ive watched all osheas battle raps. And was unusual to see him in the supermarket. Sober
Big up Charlie for doing this but honestly this is 3 years old !
There are much more Grime artists from north making a presence.
Mister Sloth i beg man do this again !!
100% facts!!!
How things change mannys took the scene to a next level
nuff respect for charlie, i feel like hes the only guy who cares about showcasing all these hidden talents, hes been doin it with fire in the booth for time. big up charlie !
That Toxteth Gal.
"I'm speakin English..... Not Turkish"!!
POW!
His uncle the boxer is pat Barret - one of Manchester most fearsome gangster!! Also Zelfa Barret Uncle , real people
5 years later, Geko & Tom zanetti are famous
And now we have Aitch, Meekz, Bugzy and many many others up North. Midlands already too many to name JayKae, Mist and all them man.
someone shouldve just showed him JDZmedia
He did call it, cos now Bugzy Malone is everywhere and he put manny on the map fam
Bugzy is literally next to skepta,chip,jme,stormzy ect he deffo put manny on the map
Edward Smith 01 stink 1, smelly fanny on the map.
He mentioned moston and that there hadn't been a superstar come out of there. Well then there comes aitch who is from moston. Crazy.
Always best nights in mission. Someone should bring it back 🙌🏻
Charlie sloth in the toon! OIOIIII
18:34 shotty horroh said FRANK GALLAGHER is his inspiration. A pint 🍺 and to E's please Karen. ( shameless) if you know u know
88k views in 10 years that's mad
Aitch is from moston. Sloth spoke it into existence. Mad.
Virus syndicate should of featured on this because they been big in the northern scene for 10 plus years they was on a tape pack I had from sidewinder in Milton Keynes where they smashed it easy the best set jus pure fire no daftness just pure lyrics all the way in comparison to the common grime sound of the early 2000s they killed those southerners that rave
Good group an all
virus I know a rapper corona virus he sick Bro not just sick he dead passed away with the coronary Ron no no phon a and he can't get a Bon a .r. I p Bro
13.00 the young girl smashed it 👌
Oshea was better than every mc on this show
The internet is a Double Edged sword... if not nowadays.. a blunt rubbery sword..
Back in the Pirate Station days.. a good MC would stick out like a Married Mom...
There were so many stations.. a decent MC would keep the dial LOCKED.
With the wing chun chain punch. Dayum.
He dint show Sheffield off enough, like Skinz, Coco, deep green, kdot, g.t, lynchy, or venomous
I know g.t and venomous are dead but search em up they're still good
Cocos great
10:15 sloth starts saying tah as soon as he steps thru the door haha
What's he supposed to say? You people are all about hating and knocking each other down.
@@fupamongoopa640 yea true the only way to say thank you is tah, I was just being hateful and knocking Charlie down by making that observation.
Never knew Tyler was on here C.O.Z BIG UP!
Swear down Blizzard and Lunar C exist yeah? I like the idea behind this documentary but it would be more worthwhile to show rappers actually up and coming rather than random kids with bars on road
Dont knkw about grine up north but theres plenty crimeup north 😂
IVE GOT RESPECT FRO THEM 2 RAPPERS BUT THERES TALENT IN BRAD FORD STANDERD THATS WHERE YOU TO COME SNM
Bbcc you wasn't wrong
believe it or no scotlands got serious hype
Hoodman was pretty big before under the name Fumin he had that hit sidetracked back in the day on channel u ! and was in dubplate drama
Hoodman and fumin are different people lmao 😂😂😂
langz check hes music 🥶💥💥
Here's a few of 100's of Grime artists (who occasionally do other genres like Bassline and R&B) from my city (a lot of them only started battling recently, but have been around for years) would put up a decent battle against most people: T-Kid #187, Darks (01274 Bradford vid on Vimeo), Dorzi #BOC #UND (Jealous Girl, Now You're Gone), Blazer Boccle #BOC (Local, Don't Get Gassed), Leejay #UND (1 Day Flow, In The City) Jakus #UND, Kenchy #UND, Youtie (Hometown), 1st Born #LCM (All For My Niggas, Forever), Mic Man Sparxxx #KUTM (Don't Watch That, Man Up North) as seen recently with Blazer Boccle and a few of KUTM on BBC Three's 'A.Dots - Story of Grime'.....and last of all the Don't Flop Legend 'Lunar C' (Jesus Swag, Free Weed For Single Mothers, Mug) who's collaborated with people like Hopsin, 360, Labrinth, KSI, Dott Rotten, Mic Righteous, Ghetts, JME, Scrufizzer, James Arthur, Maxsta, Marger, DJ Hoppa......All of these can be found on SBTV, GRM Daily, Link Up Tv, P110, JDZ Media etc and the usual Urban radio channels, but mainly on our local channel KODHTV (Check out the 'BFD Allstars - Biddi Bang' while you're there. Its just 1 of 100's of cyphers). #UpNorth #Bradford #Yorkshire
The only thing I got from this, is that Londoners are a bit thick 😄
Very
Children of Zeus and Shotty 🔥
Great initiative. It would be even better if you wrote down the names of all the MC that you visited in the description of this video which would make it easier for us to find them and to support them.
Come to Dublin next fam
🇮🇪♥️
Fam 😂😂😂
White girl saying fam just don't sit right 😂😂😂.
@@jay278822 any person of any colour saying "fam" is a absolute c**t
@@jay278822 embarrassing init
Was this filmed prior to BBC shifting to Manny?
gAS GANG R COMING 4 MAN
birmingham bristol notts manchester all have known ppl in the grime scene tho
Thats Deadly From NODB Dappy Ahaha
its mad people let the BBC gatekeep the UK scene. bun dem.
Bun dem 😅
Cringe
Init, BBC are paedophile protecters.
They kidnap and kill every genre of music that has ever existed and turn it in to a cbeebies s**t show and force feed their cheesy self important virtue signalling persona as if they set the moral standard that is lapped up by middle class Instagram kids who think their "fighting injustices"
Does it matter if people like Dappy have heard of any MC's from up north? No! He's not gonna sign any1 cos he's bankrupt lol. These peoples heads are so far up their own arses that they wouldn't know if their next door neighbor was a sick rapper. Here's a few rappers from up north who have had hundreds of thousands of views on youtube with or without any1 from London knowing: Shotty Horror, Blizzard, Dialect, Oshea, Deffinition, Wrigley, Shifty, Aystar, Bowski, Matter, Lunar C, to mention a few. Climb out of your bubble and research them if you wish.
Dappy tryna remember deadly nodb from brum lol
Mac and zanetti !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the northern Blah Records peeps are glaringly absent - Lee Scott; Black Josh; Nah Eto; Bisk; etc, etc...
There's one song Charlie does in tower block dreams and I can't find it fucking anywhere and it's the only decent thing I've ever heard him done
