We decided to test Azeem on his grime knowledge, to see just how much he knows about the UK’s favourite genre:
Hi Azeem. How can you relate to the song “Shut Up”?
When I asked on my FB Page, “Hey mates, what’s the next song I should cover?”, a couple of people answered “Shut Up! by Stormzy”. When I listened to track, I really liked the mood of the original tune by XTC. It’s a grime classic, so I figured I should cover it.
Who’s your favourite Grime MC?
Ummm… Stormzy?
If you were with Stormzy right now, what would you say to him?
Let’s collab over a cheeky tune!
Can you tell us what the following words mean?
Roadman
Your mate that knows the cuts.
Zoot
The secret to someone’s happiness.
Vexed
U mad?
Peak
Mt. Everest.
Allow
Erm… I agree?
