Oliver Jennings documents Grime's roots in this fast-paced clip for Newham Generals & Wiley.Shot around Newham & Bow in East London on a combination of 16mm and Super 8, the docu-style clip features a dizzying array of real and staged scenes intercut with snippets of performance and architectural landscapes. All in all the footage cuts together as a raw, head-spinning portrait of East London and some of the lesser publicised aspects of the Grime scene. Relentless, unfiltered and downright cool.
