As days went by and dirt, dog waste and grime piled up in the Produce Hotel in Skid Row, Jermaine Staley broke into the janitorial closet.

"Chuck in Skepta, chuck in Jme – you need to learn about grime because you need to understand the roots. If you don’t know the roots, you’re not going to grow."

In the first night of its kind for the chippy, it hosted local grime and garage MC Window Kid and British DJ Nathan Dawe.

Major labels weren’t investing in grime - despite hopes they would after Dizzee Rascal's debut record Boy In Da Corner took off the previous year.

Every time the grime artist’s debut single Pow! blasted through speakers in UK nightclubs in the early 2000s, there was chaos on the dancefloor.
