We asked JP to curate a beginner’s guide playlist for us, as well as a few words from him about his life genre of choice.

We love a bit of grime, here at Wonderland.\u00a0JP is one of the scene’s trusted journos; currently serving as Music Editor of Complex Magazine UK\u00a0and a presenter on Amazing Radio.<\/p>\n

JP’s in-depth knowledge of the scene (and daily tips on Twitter) has made him one of the go-to guys for all things grime.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan we all put the \u2018grime\u2019s back\u2019, \u2018resurgence\u2019 talk to rest now? Grime never actually went anywhere! The scene’s producers, DJs, and (some of the) MCs stayed on their jobs; it’s just that, for years, certain media platforms and critics paid it no mind\u00a0until Drake<\/a> and Kanye<\/a> started showing love. Now, don\u2019t get me wrong: having both rap stars shining a light on the genre has definitely opened up a few doors, but even if they hadn\u2019t batted an eye-lid, grime would still be doing its thing and we shouldn’t forget that. <\/em><\/p>\n

This beginner\u2019s guide to grime playlist is for all those with a genuine interest in the music, those who might not know their Trim\u2019s from their Tempa T\u2019s, Dot Rotten\u2019s from their D Double E\u2019s. I hope you enjoy the education.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
