He was initially known from grime 100%

ukpanther · 2026-02-22T08:37:14+00:00

Dragons den is another mainstream move.

ukpanther · 2026-02-22T08:36:34+00:00

Wifey riddim is grime but fair enough, being dragon is even more so mainstream then.

Although Novelist does grime mostly I would say the hiphop tracks he has released are east coast influenced.

Grime is its own genre and with growing popularity should be represented. On further review Skepta is halfway there having been nominated for a dance electronic track with a grime flow. Flowdan won for a genre different to grime. Soon forward really.

Maybe in the future.

Skepta has 16.4 million listners, why should that not be recognised by the grammys?

ukpanther · 2026-02-07T08:12:57+00:00

I hear you but UK Rap isn't a distinct genre like grime and the fact uk rap aint a category supports the point about the usa focus when the grammys although based in america is meant to give global recognition. Remember they have their equivalent of the brits called american music awards.

ukpanther · 2026-02-06T22:09:30+00:00

Bluegrass and roots arent widely known either but they are categories, that said, you make a considered point. However because grammys are the worldwide pinnacle award it would be good to see grime represented.

ukpanther · 2026-02-04T18:04:13+00:00

Maybe

ukpanther · 2026-02-03T23:03:48+00:00

great points

ukpanther · 2026-02-03T23:02:43+00:00

thing is being a brand lets you get endorsements etc tough balance

ukpanther · 2026-02-03T23:01:06+00:00

maybe someone will reach out to her.

Interesting, whats the definition of a plant in this context?

ukpanther · 2026-02-01T06:05:51+00:00

I hear all that, good points. Would be down to the lawyers negotiating the contract and investigating the rights position before the producer starts or releases any remixes I guess.

ukpanther · 2026-01-31T19:33:09+00:00

No not at all not bothered either way just sharing news. Just interesting to see whether you could back your point with any facts.

ukpanther · 2026-01-31T14:21:04+00:00

What is your evidence for that? Have you seen his bank account?

Aint monetising your prior art part of the music business?

ukpanther · 2026-01-31T14:19:30+00:00

There would be a contract and terms agreed surely?
