🚨 UD were proud to be a partner, showcasing Newham’s finest, , at the Strongroom with Converse. A boundary-smashing artist fusing grime, UK drill, dancehall, jungle and punk, it’s a volatile blend that’s as urgent as it is unclassifiable.

🏆 UD are proud to be a partner, showcasing Newham’s finest, Reptile B - a boundary-smashing artist fusing grime, UK drill, dancehall, jungle and punk, a volatile blend that’s as urgent as it is unclassifiable - at the Strongroom with Converse .

✔️ You can also catch (our current UD Artist in Residence) and many more from the new music community. Tickets are available from £25.

UD Marketing consultant and TRENCH brand manager, , who led the curation for this event, said: “We’ve witnessed the dilution of the true essence of grime. Grime music is dance music; we want reloads, gunfingers, and real mic-barring laid bare! Alongside a slew of DJs and MCs doing just that, taking us back to the old skool, we will witness a new generation of genre-bending artists—drawing on jazz, chill and rap—bringing a whole new wave to a venue near you.

“On June 4, TRENCH will host a grime event that showcases those in the scene pushing things forward in 2025. We’ve invited respected purveyors of Grime 3.0— , , UD Music, and —to collaborate on showcasing the work of a new cohort. Expect a full 360 view of what’s really happening at the forefront of the UK underground.”
