Now a bit about r/Grime

While I have your attention, I'd also like to celebrate r/grime! We've had a fantastic year with 5.1 million views and 137k members (105k avg daily unique visitors)

https://preview.redd.it/7fhxjd8p7rcg1.png?width=1404&format=png&auto=webp&s=99fec42f0dc6409d465cef80fd63fb10118a3777

The most viewed post of the year is "The Pete and Bas rabbit hole continues down with Nine and Dex", presumably a highly ranked post on Google. The most viewed grime clip was "Robbie Williams on Grime", while the most viewed song was "Spektive - This Is England".

For the most successful grime of 2025, you may wish to view my "The Most Viewed Grime Videos (& streams) of 2025" post.

Big up!

How To Find New Grime Music: The Guide

2022-04-20T13:16:22+00:00

Come hang out in the r/grime discord server if you want to chat!

Hello everyone,

I recently updated our "Where To Find Grime" wiki with a list of resources on finding new grime.

I imagine some of you may find this useful. Feel free to drop any resources/links etc in the comments as well.

Quick and easy: just sort this subreddit by FRESH and you'll have a feed of new releases :)

The Easy Ways To Find New Grime Music

Bandcamp

A lot of grime releases end up on Bandcamp, use the following tags (there are some additional minor ones as well):

Blogs

These blogs generally post info about new grime releases:

Discord

The #grime-only channel on the /r/grime discord https://discord.gg/STmpA7aFRv often has new grime posted.

We also have a feed for NEW grime uploads on YouTube.

Playlists

Below is a list of playlists across platforms, primarily dedicated to promoting newly released grime music. If you have one, send us a message. Any platform welcome.

Spotify

2025 Grime | Fresh Grime | New Grime (actual grime, no UK hiphop/drill/afro etc) (by /u/Madbrad200)
DiRT & GRiME & STUFF (by GRiNDHOUSE)
Grime 2025 (by Eze)
Grime 3.0 (by Nekkbreth)
Grime Shutdown (by Spotify) - This playlist is auto-generated now (it wasn't always). It reflects new grime releases for me, but it may differ for you.
32 Big Hitters (by Josh)
The Shapin' Grime Playlist (by Shapin' Grime)

note: following artists on Spotify will ensure they show up on your Release Radar playlist.

Tidal

2025 Grime | New Grime | Fresh Grime (actual grime, no UK hiphop/drill/afro etc) (by /u/Madbrad200)

YouTube

2025 Grime / Fresh Grime / New Grime (actual grime, no UK hiphop/drill/afro etc) (by /u/Madbrad200)
Grime Hotlist (by YouTube Music)
Underground Grime (by YouTube Music)

For new radio sets and other misc videos (e.g interviews), try this playlist

note: not all grime is correctly tagged as "MUSIC" on YouTube, and may not be available via YouTube Music.

FILTERING

Sort /r/grime by the FRESH tag and you'll have a neat feed of new releases (either click this link or manually type flair:fresh subreddit:grime in the reddit search bar). Every new release tends to get posted here.

The above filter will also include grime sets, but if you're not interested in sets, you can filter them out by adding -flair:fresh_set like so.

Quick tip: if you're on desktop, you can add this bookmarklet to your bookmarks. If you click it while browsing the r/grime feed, it'll open a new tab with a YouTube playlist of all the videos on the r/grime page you click the bookmarklet on. A quick way to listen to all the videos posted on the r/grime frontpage, for example.

RSS

If you have an RSS reader, you can follow this RSS feed to grab all fresh music submissions from this sub.

INSTRUMENTALS

Check /r/grimeinstrumentals for beats.

Spotify

A bot automatically adds the top upvoted posts every week to a Spotify playlist.

INTLGrime - GlobalGrime/International Grime posts non-UK grime releases.

YGG - What happened to the trio?

2026-05-18T08:07:22+00:00

As "Strikers" and their first EP landed in my rotation again, I was surprised that it's almost a decade since they dropped something. Even Solo Projects, with no info about them disbanding, have not been going much longer. Anyone know what happened?

Big up Toddla T & The Steeze Factory

2026-05-17T18:10:55+00:00

I've been a fan of Grime ever since the early SBTV days and I always loved the street freestyles more than anything else. In the last few years they all dropped off with the rise of drill and other stuff, so I don't see much of it anymore (such as SB, P110, JDZ etc), but man, The Steeze Factory hypes me the fuck up!!! It's so fresh and new and every cypher is a fucking absolute banger!
