I Love Grime is a 52-track 2CD summary of the ever-expanding grime scene. Bringing together the past, present and future of the UK's fastest-evolving musical movement, Rinse presents an expansive collection charting the evolution of the London sound, from its origins as garage's raw and reckless little brother all the way through to its current status as chart-topping commercial steamroller. Champion of the sound before it so much as had a name, Rinse FM's status as the sound of young London's cutting edge has allowed it unprecedented access to classic anthems, the biggest game changers and those most likely to blow in the near future. Mixed by the legendary Sir Spyro, DJ for international chart-topper Tinchy Stryder and a long-standing pillar of the scene and Sian Anderson, a hugely-respected DJ and tastemaker representing the diverse sound's next generation, the 52 tracks here chart the establishment and growth of grime from early pioneers such as So Solid Crew and Pay As U Go Cartel; formative figureheads More Fire Crew, Roll Deep & Ruff Sqwad, commercial titans Dizzee Rascal, Wiley & Tinchy Stryder all the way to the scene's cutting-edge, with artists such as Kozzie, Faze Miyake and Rinse's very own P Money and Royal-T. Other artists include: Tubby T, Jammer, Spooky, Teddy Music, Newham Generals, Kano, Outlaw Breaks, C4, Youngstar, Lethal B, JME & Fire Camp, Bok Bok, Frisco, Double S & Chipmunk, Champion, Skepta, Low Deep, Lord Of The Mics Allstars, D Double E, Dimples & Flava D, Big $hot, Boy Better Know, Magnetic Man, Skream, Ego, Shif Man & Merky, Trim, Maxsta, OG'z & Sukh Knight, Swindle, Rival, Ed Sheeran, JME, and Lethal Bizzle.
