Grime: Documenting the Scene's Rise and Reign

By Roony Keefe

A special collectors edition packed with never-before-seen archival material, candid interviews with artists and striking photography. Featuring some of the most important names to ever touch the culture - including Skepta, Kano, Ruff Sqwad and more - this is the definitive inside story of grime: raw, unfiltered, and impossible to ignore.

'There are very few better placed than Roony to document the Grime scene - and he does so perfectly' - ROMESH RANGANATHAN

Starting as a fan armed with a handy cam in the early 00s, Roony's RiskyRoadz series captured a new energy which blew up with YouTube, cementing him as an integral part of the genre's visual identity. GRIME is a portal into this gritty, authentic world, offering an exclusive front-row seat to modern history: the personalities, the tracksuits, the tunes, the social context - and the reality of a revolution that shaped a generation.

Experience the 140BPM beating heartbeat of grime exclusively told by a pioneer of the scene - not just as a music genre, but as a living, breathing culture that continues to thrive, inspire, and boldly challenge the status quo.
