Whoaaaa! Representing the nefarious Bodymore, Murdaland, we meet a DJ/Producer who’s live sets have landed him in front of grime heavyweights like Spooky, Preditah and more. A part of the DC/Baltimore outfit known as the UKG Social, and a major force rising in the stateside grime movement…

Welcome to #YaGetMe – a dive into the American Grime Scene to get to know the artists who continue to push their passion and their sound.
This time, we hit Philly again to catch up with a DJ/Producer that thrives behind one of several midi controllers or behind the decks. No stranger to the business side of things, this savant cofounded labels Seclusiasis and Slit Jockey Records with long time partner Starkey. With a slew of releases under his belt and a pension for bass…
This is Dev79.

7Nine. I smash and I bang.

Massappeals & Snowy – Do / Donts
What does American Grime mean to you?
Hmmm to me its just another expansion of the grime sound. Grime is inherently UK music but without the world embracing it on a larger scale it wouldn’t be able to grow and flourish and of course we all want it to grow and flourish.
What American Grime artists (producer or mc) do you like?
Starkey, College Hill, MC Twisty, Korma, MC Jumanji, El Carnicero, Tiimbs, Letta, to name a few.
Favorite toppings on a pizza?
I’m bout that turkey sausage & arugula.
Any shout outs?
Big up purple kush, taco Tuesdays and all the underground music fans that support adventurous artists carving their own paths.

Although he’s from Charlotte, NC, you’re less likely to find him there than any new destination on the horizon for this rising star. Australia, Amsterdam, Chicago, Miami, Denver… this DJ/Producer is seriously on the move. Playing show to show, it’s a wonder how he ever has time to sit and make BANGERS, but he does. Representing the best in Dubstep, he now turns his sights on grime.
This is Crowell.
Introduce yourself. Tell us who you are and what you do.
Well my name is Emmanuel, aka Crowell and I’m an MC, Producer and DJ all wrapped in one. Lowr Levls Is my crew and family.
Since you’ve been in music, who have been your major influences?
Most of my major influences are the people I call friends. Some producers like Bukez Finezt, Gentlemens Club, and A3 helped shape the sound I have now.

Shxdow – Blxck Genie (Rapture’s 4th Dimensional Flip)
Capo Lee Ft D Double E – Mud (Prod Sir Spyro)
What does American Grime mean to you?
American Grime to me is a new movement of MCs and Producers that the UK should be on the lookout for. I feel like America is the perfect place for grime to expand, a lot of grime gets dropped all over the states just people don’t know the tunes or artists. Grime in America was bound to happen.
What American Grime artists (producer or mc) do you like?
John Brown the Rebel(Producer)
Favorite toppings on a pizza?
Buffalo Chicken and Pepperoni
Any shout outs?
Shout out the Lowr Levls mandem, Nottingham Crew 1 2, 193 Records, and all the fans supporting on the daily.

When Coral Springs resident MC Jumanji and his manager Sergio Mendes didn’t hear the music they liked in South Florida, the pair decided to do something about it. They recently founded the label American Grime, named after their favorite strain of hip-hop. “Grime was a way for the London underground to express themselves,” MC Jumanji explained. “They didn’t copy rap from the U.S.; they found a new way to come at it. It’s a perfect mix of dancehall and hip-hop.”
