I’m newbie and want to understand grime more. I like electronic music usually minimalistic, dark and heavy. Any recommendations?

Though judging by your charts, I have to warn you, although grime at its purest sounds cold, electronic, and often dark, it is a very energetic genre. In its purest form it's kinda comparable to hardcore punk. This is why radio sets are better than albums cause MCs can go bonkers on them.

Also, almost forgot, Novelist x Mumdance - 1 Sec. It's one of my favorite songs, very dark and minimalistic. If you don't like the vocals, you can find just the instrumental. Also watch the music video it's really well-made.

Hey thank you! I will take a look. Respect. My favourite edm styles are techno and electro most of but also I do like, house, dub oriented dubstep, dnb: liquid, neuro and jungle. I want to have new styles to my flavour palette

oh hey, I never got the notification, likely because you replied to your own comment instead of one of mine. There's some good house with grime-ish vocals out there, can't really recommend any 100% house album, but artists like Niko B, p-rallel, and DialE flirt with it. Also for DnB check out Conducta (producer that often collabs with Grime MCs), IZCO (mainly garage, but occasionally DnB, also collabs with grime MCs), Reek0 (mainly garage, but occasional house and DnB), KiLLOWEN (mainly garage, but iirc some DnB), and Emz (a grime MC that very often spits over DnB, maybe to the point that he has more DnB songs than grime).

oh and, can't really recommend anything dub-oriented, but 1-800 Dinosaur Presents: Trim is an album produced mainly by dubstep and post-dubstep artists. Also Durrty Goodz - Axiom EP features verses over a lot of legendary dubstep songs. Though obviously a lot of British dubstep producers have collabed with grime MCs every now and then, so I'm not gonna name anyone who has occasional collabs, you've probably heard them already. Also not gonna name any strictly DnB and jungle MCs, as that's its own scene with its own MCing tradition that differs from grime, and you're probably already aware of that too.

Most grime MCs are idiots. There are so many great future grime, post-dubstep, and dark garage producers making sick experimental sounds, while most grime MCs spit on boring drill-adjacent beats.

Trim's been shitting on the entire grime scene for over 15 years now, and everyone's too afraid to respond.

Slowthai - not grime. Skepta - not grime since 2017. Stormzy - not grime since his debut album. That's your top-3

Check out Ano Electro (Andante) by Sabres of Paradise. This one is essentially grimy, though it was recorded in 1994

"I think I found my new favourite hip-hop subgenre :)" - It's not hip hop... It's entirely different. Grime comes from ragga/jungle and is typically aggressive. Hip Hop emerged from soul, funk etc.
