Why doesn’t youtube let you embed HD videos? They’re stooopid like Deedee in Dexter’s Lab.

Nice special effects, coupled with some intricate and clever lyrics “Roses are red, violets are blue, you know I got my eyes on you”.
Ha ha yeah right, here is Skepta with another attempt at some Grim-Pop aka Electro-grime and while this has been on the radio for a while finally the video has dropped and could get him some major exposure.
Skepta has the talent and street following to remain in both entities of UK music, the urban and pop such as Wiley has done. Ghetto could well be on his way in similar fashion but has had to sacrifice his name, changing it from Ghetto to Ghetts.
The thing with this electro-grime is, in order to keep it simple and fun for the radio/clubs they don’t actually say much in their lyrics, but, if they can draw a wide range of listeners in with lets say 2-3 singles and the rest of their albums are grimey as hell then the musical artform of grime may not suffer immensely.
PS. PS3 grime fans, do not add “ghetts” on the PSN thinking its Ghetto, its me, I’m still getting people adding me with the usual “U kool Ghetto. Whens ur next tune coming out?”. I’ll add you and give you as much info about Ghetto as I can but ultimately its not him.

Remix of the song a few posts down below, features a verse from Kano. Skip to about 1:30 to hear it, as Sincere’s verse is the same.

Now with all the Grime/UK Hip Hop heads trying Electro out there’s bound to be some duds along the way, but I don’t think this is one of them, the beat is simple yet infectious and Sincere doesn’t overwork, or underwork his verses, they have a theme and he sticks to them well. You can call it electro you can call it grime, you can call it electro-grime, but I like to call it Grim-Pop, grimey hip-hoppish songs made for pop exposure.
Most importantly, with a video like this, the girls are HAWT, like they make you want to watch the rest of the video, very good selection there.
PS. If you didn’t know Sincere is Scorcher from the Movement’s cousin.
