On Tuesday night we possibly witnessed one of the biggest music statements in recent years. Kanye West performed a surprise performance at the Brit awards of new track ‘All Day’ from his new album and brought out  key players of the UK Grime scene to be on stage with him dressed head to toe in black including Skepta, Stormzy, Jammer, Fekky, Krept & Konan, Novelist and the entirety of BBK .

Kanye came on stage and set the stage alight, literally. The latest track from Kanye’s album “All Day” featured Canadian rapper Allan Kingdom. The performance displayed flame throwers had the celebrity filled audience up on their feet moving to the beat. The song didn’t disappoint at all, with heavy bass, explicit lyrics and references including that his recent adidas collaboration sneaker the Yeezy is now selling on ebay for £20,000, pointedly making a statement the he sets the level for popular culture right now.  This is the second release from Kanye’s album this month as he released “Wolves” featuring Vic Mensa and Sia during NYC Fashion Week.

In a year where Grime seems to be hitting heights we’ve never seen before, this has taken one of the UK’s biggest Subcultures to a whole new level of exposure to a global audience. A co sign from Kanye West, an internationally recognised multi Grammy award winning artist bring out the scene and Shout out Skepta it left us with no doubt that all of the UK Artists hardwork is paying off and despite the rumours about Grime, Grime is officially not dead!

Kanye showing love to the UK Grime scene comes days after Canadian rapper Drake posted Instagram pics of throwback vids from Wiley, Skepta, Frisco & Devilman and mentioned Skepta in the credits of “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late”

Finally the UK underground Culture is getting true recognition for talent instead of being stereotyped and associated with negative Media stories.
