Wiley, one of the greatest UK Grime producers has recently released the first two of his Tunnel Vision mixtapes for the world to experience. This is great for us on this side of the Atlantic to finally get a decent amount of grime action. There will be three more mix tapes in this series and I encourage everyone who can get a hand on them to go for it. Try UKRecordshop.com. For more information and tracklists, check out the RWDMAG Forum.
While I'm at it, i can't help but link to this youtube video of The Street's "Pranging Out remix." This remix features an all-star line up of some of Grime's best, including Skepta, Wretch, Ghetto, Tinchy Stryder, D.E. Velopment, Bossman, and Frisco. Youtube is one of our best resources to hear grime here, so take some time and watch some videos.
