Nothing speaks to the competitive spirit of grime quite like Jammer’s Lord Of The Mics. Skepta vs. Devilman, P Money vs. Big H, Wiley vs. Kano. It’s been responsible for some of the most historic, and in some cases zeitgeist-shifting, clashes in the genre’s 20-year history. Heavily inspired by the long history of sound clashes […]
