Mind The Gap

The talent levels from the regions have been bubbling in cities such as Manchester, Nottingham and Birmingham since the hard hitting genre first found its feet in the UK, but has remained in the shadows of the grime founders down in the capital. Thanks to exposure on YouTube channels such as SBTV, P110 and JDZ Media in recent years, the scene across these regional cities is now literally... peak. So while grime originated in London, does its future lie North? Eyez has linked with Leicester's Kamakaze, Nottingham duo Mez and Snowy, Leeds' legend Dialect, Sheffield's Kannan, Manchester mainstay Rio and fellow Derby don, Dubzy, to bring you this mixtape.
