Welcome to Red Bull Studios Presents Grime-A-Side. In this pioneering tournament, grime MCs from eight UK cities clash to claim regional supremacy and the Grime-A-Side trophy.
Grime-A-Side is split into three legs: quarter-finals, semi-finals and grand final. Each match will be filmed in Studio One in Red Bull Studios London, and will see two teams go head to head, passing the mic and delivering their best 16s. The team that wins each match goes through to the next round to clash another winning team; the losing city-crew is ejected from the competition.
