Released on the 22nd August 2023, the BBC Storyville documentary '8 Bar: The Evolution of Grime' documents the story of the roots and rise of one of the most iconic British music genres of all time.
The birth, growth and evolution of Grime runs parallel to that of KING with a timeline where the brand has been intrinsically interwoven into the culture, protagonists and the disruptive ethos that has become synonymous with the genre.
From the early influences of Jungle and the growth of the Garage scene, Grime rapidly became the voice for the experiences of many young people in Britain - birthed in our home of East London but with a sound that resonated nationwide. A self-started underground scene that fostered its own production, distribution, labels and raves, it was shunned by the mainstream industry. Despite being locked out, Grime and the wider scene has continued to kick down the doors with its influence and sound now surging in popularity across the globe.
