Grime music in the film industry

Firstly, I'm quite happy to say that two Grime artists I have been looking at were in a film released this year in the UK. I think it's obvious to say it is an action crime drama...

The film is called Anti-social -


amongst others, the film stars grime artists Junior 'Skepta' Adenuga and James 'Devlin':



Summary (courtesy of IMDb) : Dee is an anarchic street-artist confronting the system, Marcus is an armed robber on a jewellery store crime-wave. For the two brothers, being Anti-Social is a way of life. Dee finds acceptance in London's art-scene, while Marcus' smash-and-grab heists amass him a small fortune and his aspirations escalate. But when an ultra-violent gangland war erupts, Dee is suddenly forced to remember who he is - as Police and rival criminals close-in on the family and Marcus' gang defiantly prepare to take down the largest target of their careers.            .

I think it's good for musicians to venture into different mediums of the arts, and film is very different to music videos, too, so it's an experience that I can imagine they as artists would appreciate a lot.

The film itself also features a few grime artists' songs:
Including Preditah's Circles instrumental track

And Giggs' Look What The Cat Dragged in, which leans more towards the hip-hop side of grime

I think the fact that UK cultrure is still alive and relevant is a great thing, because with all the American culture which has influenced and changed the way we speak (i.e. African-American slang) and the way we consume the latest pop culture - Vine, YouTube, television series - its a surprise that we can still be identified with so much British culture, through the things we wear and the music we make as well as Britain's general aesthetic, good and bad. Overall, the future in UK Grime and film still seems bright.
