Guardian: How​ black British music became more fertile than ever​

The success of grime has helped diverse, diasporic tracks to hit the charts - Guardian says in an article about how it has now opened doors for a host of other genres of black British music.

On the one side, there is the tabloid-worrying, tonally dark road rap and UK drill scenes, with artists including Giggs and Section Boyz. On the other, there is the sunnier sound of Afro bashment, with the likes of J Hus and Not3s. And as these sounds evolve, they blur the already narrow line between them. With influences from across the diaspora, this music captures the hybrid essence of black British identity with more clarity than ever – and is even harder to define because of it. Guardian
