Skepta, JME, Chip, Frisco, Headie One, CASisDEAD, Wretch 32, Avelino, OFB, Adele, Lemar, Keisha White (Singers), Julie Adenuga, Letitia Wright (Shuri from Black Panther)... so much talent from this little part of London!
I never went but my mum used to take classes at the Selby Centre 😅 Julie Adenuga is Skepta & JME's sister. She's a radio DJ and has a show on RUclips called Top 5 which you should defo checkout in your spare time (the Kano & Chipmunk episodes are my personal favourites).... she can sing too but doesn't do it professionally.
I used to go to the Selby Centre, I was on a 1 year music and video production course with Wretch 32. The course was in the Chocolate Factory shown in the video which is is Wood Green and twice a week we would go to the Selby Centre to make music and use the studio
Tottenham is one of the places with the most talent. It also home to a massive football club, at the end you saw White Hart Lane which is their stadium, the main landmark. The club also does work in the community as well. As an aside it showed an artist in there that you've mentioned once before. Tinchy Stryder. He's from Ruff Sqwad in Bow, where Dizzee and Wiley were from. While Dizzee was in Roll Deep crew they, or him were also affiliated with Ruff Sqwad. They are one of the most influential grime collectives. Tinchy was actually one of the rappers that managed to go commercial get his money and disappear. He was a legend in the game. Stormzy's Shut Up was an old Ruff Sqwad instrumental and one of my favourite grime tracks is called Anna. It's a classic.
Tottenham is my hometown and yes I have been to the Selby Centre, it’s like a big business centre with rooms for rent, there was loads of little rooms that businesses had in there and studios - to make tracks !!!
Heat FM was in the car !!! Especially when rolling through the manor, but it’s reach was only in local areas, venture too far and you won’t pick it up !!

Adele was born in Tottenham but she grew up in Brixton/Norwood South London which is still hood, in fact for a brief period she went to the same high school as my older sister in Balham South London
Tottenham has some of the most talented artists. Those mentioned in the video as well as Casisdead, JME, Frisco, Black the Ripper (Edmonton) Abra Cadabra to name a few.
💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥red wine and beer it's hot right now .... early morning surf ....... then my favourite RUclips reactor ...what's up ......from Cornwall UK .....can I get a," hell ya ?"
This is a vety good idea to react too instead of always having to react to music. It's a achually madd how the most talented artists come out of the roughest areas "newham, Tottenham, peckham, hackney, Brixton. Didnt even know wretch was from Tottenham haha
I really recommend watching a documentary on pirate radios - it really helped the rise of "urban" music when no major radio station would give it the time of day. Think of teenagers setting up illegal radio stations in run down flats just to get their music out across London and the feats they went just to do it. A lot of stations are now major radio stations in the UK as well, such as Rinse FM, Heat FM, Flex FM. Geenus, the founder of Rinse, got his name because he would climb elevator shafts and hide it in the top of them so that the police couldnt find and take it down.
Channel u was a music channel where it played specifically grime garage and urban music. All these up and coming artists could pay a small fee to put there music and music videos on there and people could then text and request a song. It was like MTV for urban British music. Was a lot of dancehall and stuff on there as well. Was basically a melting pot of all this new music that was percolating
That is true what you say about the Caribbean influence being much newer than in the US, but don’t be fooled. Although yes the majority of black people came from the lates 1940s onwards there were historical black communities in the UK prior. Believe it or not but Liverpool’s black community dates back to the 1730s with some people able to go back 10 generations, plus London being around 3% black in the late 1700s.

Newham is a whole borough. Tottenham is just an area within a borough (Haringey). Pound for pound Tottenham is top 2/3 in terms of quality and quantity or artists. Chip, Skepta, Frisco, JME, Young Spray, Abracadabra, Headie One, RV, Double S, Wretch 32, Avelino.... I could keep going, I haven't even mentioned the younger Drill kids like Y.OFB and NPK etc. The only other neighbourhoods that could compare are Brixton and maybe Peckham (Peckham has the quality but not the same quantity as Brixton and Tottenham). East is strong as well, but there's no one area that could compare - only boroughs. Hackney and Newham are near top
Channel U was the one channel on tv that played UK underground music videos, this sort of started in 2003. After when so solid crew got shut down and banned. Grime was then birthed. WILEY played a massive part in grime and built a scene, Wiley had built and helped skepta/ Kano/ dizzee/ Kano. In America kanos name needs to spread and ghetts. The artist you have now have had no struggle. Nowadays anything goes, you say a shit lyric, it goes. Back in the day that wasn’t the case and you see fuck radio, or that room where crazy Titch and Dizzee got into a fight, so I’m a room you had to be special.
Watch Dubplate Drama ..its a tv show from back in the day about the start of grime and pirate radio/clashing culture. Majority of the actors are MC's and rappers and loads of cameos from grime artists. They're quite short episodes and you can watch them all on youtube That would be good content and no ones done it before
Yo react to jammer hes a grime mc hes part of bbk Richi and baby mane from mali strip And lurky loose and KT from ARG They all artists from waltham forest north east London
Yo fam, Frisco put out a documentary about pirate radio which is a good place to go next. It’s called Pirate Mentality: How Pirates Made Grime. On RUclips: ruclips.net/video/4lSFWTx3L6Y/видео.html These two clashes on pirate radio are probably two of the most memorable moments from the early days of Grime. Part of the reason is because it was filmed so they’ve transcended different generations of fans...

If you wanna know where a lot of the trap slang comes from & what it’s like as a yute in London watch county lines documentary. All these videos are outdated no one cares about wretch n them man no more
Bro your always reacting to the old heads that Americans won’t get behind. You gotta listen to the new vibes like kilo jugg, geeyou, asco, m huncho, millionz etc
Bro how do you know what American would get behind and last I checked bro skepta one of the biggest artist in the states. This video is to show history bro and to learn and teach at the same time.
UK JAMAICAN! Yeah, well it’s zone 3 - so you know dat it’s too good for a prime location to NOT gentrify. They don’t care about us, never have. I’ll rep my hometown, N15 Tottenham, it taught me the struggle
Lol ain’t no gentrification in Tottenham just yet. Only in Hackney but it’s slowly creeping here, like that big new flats they’re making near seven sisters station
They have fixed old shops on West green road, and they're thinking about changing that Latino market at seven sisters. They're changing Tottenham hale, they're going to build a cinema and restaurants I don't see anything wrong with that.
Luciano El then you clearly don’t have deep enough understanding of how gentrification negatively impacts the local community. And that’s fine, I’m happy you don’t see anything wrong with it.
Everybody go show Luv to where you are from & everywhere. International Ferg Merch is here!! internationalfergstore.com/ Rep ya hood !!!!
Skepta, JME, Chip, Frisco, Headie One, CASisDEAD, Wretch 32, Avelino, OFB, Adele, Lemar, Keisha White (Singers), Julie Adenuga, Letitia Wright (Shuri from Black Panther)... so much talent from this little part of London!
Dope!!!!
Isn't Headie One part of OFB?
Caribbean’s actually started coming to the U.K. around the 1950’s after ww2 so there are actually some 3,4,5th generation black British people
Respect for truly understand the culture bro

Another must watch from noisey documentary is..... Dont call it road rap! Give you a good back story of the come up
South London birthed the most talent; Peckham, Brixton, Croydon/Thornton Heath, Battersea, Lewisham and hella more places
I grew up there Ferg
Hackney is actually in both north and east london. Half Half

Would be interesting to do a top 3 in each borough versus competition, Newham (Kano, Ghetts, J Hus) would be hard to beat
