Grime (not to be confused with Canadian music sensation Grimes) is the edgy electronic style of rap music that emerged in London in the early 2000s as an evolution of the city's garage music scene of the 1990s. But lately, the genre has seen a bit of a resurgence across the pond in the Great White North — thanks to known Anglophile and pride of Toronto, Drake. For this week's episode we invited very special guest Sonja Cori Missio (writer, music academic, and fellow Torontonian) to school us about the underground scene and the energetic sound that boasts 140 beats per minute. And we always mind our Ps and Qs.
