GrimeTime returns to Café Moskau this weekend with one of the biggest acts in the grime game as its headliner. Lethal B. (or Bizzle, as he likes to be called nowadays) is responsible for the commercially most successful, but also most controversial recording in the history of the genre: „Pow!“ not only hit the UK’s Top 20, but also got banned from numerous clubs and radio stations because of its „gun lyrics“. The violent content of the song may have been taken too literally by some people, but one thing is for sure: The Lethal one doesn’t shy away from any battle.
Talking about competition: GrimeTime had its own little battle for mic supremacy going on on their website during the past weeks. Aspiring MCs were asked to send in their own tracks, as the best performance would be awarded with a supporting slot at a GrimeTime show. This resulted in a fierce, but entertaining discussion on GrimeTime’s comment pages. Facing a load of promising contributions the crew must have had helluva difficult time with choosing a winner and finally decided that four finalists (Halbgott, Die i.D, Killa K, MC Ko & Mickey and Sookee) will be able present their tunes live on stage.

Out For A Break – Grrrime Special!!! #2
Staub-Sauger, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 95, 04275 Leipzig
Katana (Dangerous Drums // Freak Camp // Berlin)
Danny Bwoy (Freak Camp // Zoopersound // Berlin)
Sencha (Black Belt Boogie // Leipzig)
MC Halbgott (Edit // Krieger des Lichts // Berlin)
The Freak Camp heads out to take over the beautiful city of Leipzig this weekend. The mighty Katana and myself will be spinning the coldest fresh dubstep and grime plates and MC Halbgott will be spitting his deadly German bad boy bars. All of this will take place at the infamous „Staubsager“ (which translates as „vacuum cleaner“) on South Leipzig’s Karl-Liebknecht-Straße. Check out the promoter’s press release for the full low down:
„Nach dem Freak-Out beim ersten „Grrrime Special“ setzt Black Belt Boogie nun zum zweiten Streich an. Besuch aus Berlin hat sich angekündigt, um simple Überzeugungsarbeit durch die Kraft der Bassline zu leisten. Katana ist Spezialist in Sachen Dubstep und Grime, produzierte bereits Tracks für Dangerous Drums und setzt nun zum großen Sprung an, um seine Beats auch auf internationalen Labels wieder zu finden. Mit Danny Bwoy kehrt ein Ex-Leipziger für diesen Gig in die Messestadt zurück, der damals u.a. mit Phono-Tone und dem Gush-Collective die Tangofabrik rockte. Heute ist er fest in der Szene rund um den grimey Sound verankert. Rückendeckung gibt es von einem MC mit dem ehrfurchtsvollen Namen Halbgott, der mit spielerischer Schnelligkeit deutsche (!) Texte über die zerhackten Grooves performen wird! Seine bisherigen Auftritte reichen von der Roten Fabrik in Zürich bis zur Berliner U-Bahn und allem, was dazwischen liegt. Genau die richtige Gelegenheit, sich mal wieder frischen Wind ins Gesicht blasen zu lassen…“

Aspiring dubstep producers should definitely check out this project over at the dubstep forum. The message board crew will be releasing a mp3-compilation of tunes by unknown and up-and-coming producers and are still looking for submissions. The compilation will be selected and mixed by Rinse FM´s N-Type.
