Grime Kids is a brand new show launching on BBC Three on November 13th, taking the viewer back to the birth of a genre that changed the face of the British music scene. To mark the show’s release we spoke to the collection of young talent that make up the story, chatting to Yus Jamal Crookes, Shanu Hazzan, Gabriel Robinson, Tienne Simon, Juwon Adedokun, Delove Akra.

This show, if nothing more, has marked the birth of several talented young performers, so needless to say we were thrilled to chat to them all. They speak about their tight bond, building chemistry – and on researching the music and the world. A world that for us old lot, only feels like yesterday….
