hate all these artists like wiley claimin they invented grime it all started with so solid no one forget that

Taken from the album '2nd Verse'

‘So Grimey’ is an up-tempo, bass heavy track for the streets, which features on the remix MCs Megaman, Asher D and Swiss and r&b singer Sef from The Reelists.  The track deals with girls who are so grimey, but not in the conventional sense of the word…in So Solid’s world, ‘So Grimey’ equals good not bad!

Their latest musical offering is a gritty track about girls that are down for their guys, girls who will do anything for their men, girls who can wear Adidas shell-toe trainers and tracksuits and still look sexy…

Mr Shabz steps up to the deck on production duties, serving up a selection of deep and grimey head banging beats which the Crew spit effortlessly over.  The original album version featured just one rapper, the confident rising star MC Swiss. Swiss produced much of So Solid Crew’s first album ‘They Don’t Know’, but for ‘Second Verse’ he focused mainly on mic duties, developing his lyrical composition and skills to become one of the Crew’s most loved MCs.   
For the Mr Shabz produced So Grimey Remix, So Solids’ MCs Megaman and Asher D were drafted in, and they come up with the goods big time, combining super fast lyrics with their trademark no nonsense heavy hitting delivery.

For the video to accompany their release the So Solid Crew wanted to keep things Grimey, so they enlisted the help of video directors Max & Dania, who they collaborated with on the 2001 Brit award winning ’21 Seconds’ video.  The ‘So Grimey’ video is shot in a dark, moody and highly charged atmosphere, it feels like it might be a dogfight or a clandestine ‘knuckle boxing’ event, but it’s not the men who are doing the fighting!  Taking the script and flipping it is what So Solid do best, so it will come as no surprise to see them keeping their cool while they watch the scantily clad, grimey girls mud-wrestling in the club.  Sef emerges from the darkness to sing the catchy chorus -‘Girl you’re so Grimey, want you beside me, want you to ride with me, do what you do to me’-, the crowd goes wild, the girls get down and dirty, and it looks like So Solid have yet another smash hit on their hands.
