It fucking vexes me that rap fans in America aren't super into grime. The future sound of London's past combines the dizzying production that you hear out of Atlanta or Chicago, beckoning you to the mothership, with the rapid-fire war cries you might hear out of New York or the Bay Area. It is music that can be jarring, beautiful, caustic, or aggressive, sometimes all at once, and has just as colorful a cast of characters as any other major rap city. Yeah, grime MCs' British accents make it kinda hard to understand what they're saying, but no more so than Young Thug or Travis $cott at his most heavily AutoTuned, y'know? Anyways, this has been my plea for Americans to listen to more grime, thank you for tuning in.One of the few North American rappers for whom grime has had a real influence is Toronto's Tre Mission, who raps in a Toronto-by-way-of-the-Caribbean patois that strongly resembles a British accent, and whose grime bona fides are legit enough that he's actually worked with the grime don Wiley himself. Tre's latest single, "Boy in the Corner," off his Stigmata album, finds him flipping the sentiment from Dizzee Rascal's Boy in da Corner to describe trapping out the mall, thizzing, and using his magnetic personality to pull girls all the way from the corner. The video might be a single shot, but it conveys multitudes.@drewmillard
