Description
This Thursday we're pleased to welcome the Newham Generals for a live / DJ show which is going to tear your socks to shreds!
Welcome to Newham Generals: a grime trio so hype, Dizzee Rascal signed them personally. Coming from Newham, a borough in east London - the Generals comprise of a DJ and two MCs - DJ Tubby, Footsie, and D Double E.
Signed to the Dizzee’s Dirtee Stank label, they represent a new era in the expansion of the UK street sound known as grime. Want proof? Check their mixtape, “Welcome to Newham Vol 1” produced in conjunction with underground dons Lord of the Decks.
Dizzee fans will already know D Double E, the uniquely-voiced MC who supplied the hook on Dizzee’s 2004 club banger “Give U More”. Dizzee and D Double had known each other for years, since meeting on pirate station Flava FM in 1999. When Dizzee approached D Double about his solo material, he discovered the rich seam of material the Generals had been working on.
