Tim Westwood chats to I Like Music


ILM: Tim, you are the most influential figure in hip hop in Europe and a pioneer of the UK hip hop scene - what's the state of play at the moment with UK hip hop. We had the likes of Mark B and Blade a few years ago, there's DJ Format, Dizzee Rascal has blown up, Lethal Bizzle… what's your take on the UK flava at the moment - who's hot in your book?

TIM: The artists you talked about there are really across the whole section of what's happening with the UK rap community of artists, but I think where the real energy is, is in the likes of Lethal Bizzle, Kano, definitely Wiley and the young'uns that they're bringing through as well. And where they differ from Blade and people like that, is that those guys are more traditional rap, rhyming over samples, whereas artists like Kano, Lethal Bizzle and Roll Deep, they've come from the grime scene which is the garage scene, since So Solid with people rhyming over garage, I think that's the cutting edge, that's where the energy is.
