What you have stumbled across are three paragraphs. Each one throwing names and figures and venues at you in the attempt to suggest that Grime music as an entity is growing internationally.
It has quite the opposite effect and it highlights the half-hearted breakthroughs in the past and therefore the lack of prominence of this genre of music on a global stage. The writer tries to salvage some integrity by connecting international growth with increased live grime concerts..
But Hyde Park and Leeds are hardly international are they? Nice try but unfortunately an unsuccessful rescue mission.
HOWEVER...
Speaking of which, if this controversial, uncommercially friendly genre of music is so unappealing to artists worldwide - then why has a young man from Toronto, Canada decided to take the reigns at 140 bpm?
The MC I am talking about is Tre Mission and he gave a rather conclusive answer in an interview with MTV UK:
"In Toronto, everyone’s next door neighbour is a rapper and they all seem to be doing the same thing, so I try to give people a breath of fresh air and it seems to have worked so far"
From a personal perspective it really is a breath of fresh air to hear different accents 'do' grime. I look forward to him collaborating with a number of UK MC's. I hope his footsteps on the Grime path encourage other international MC's to follow, thus rendering Grime a mission possible.
So if you are not already aware of the man I suggest you check out "When I Come Thru" and "Hold Up" on YouTube.
But you know we bring you THE latest music so without further ado , I present to you the brand new track entitled "World Go Crazy" :
You can follow Tre on Twitter @TreMission
