Newham Generals.
D Double E and Footsie are ‘Newham Generals’.
As Grime scene veterans, they are among the most respected and critically acclaimed underground acts in the UK today, having consistently forged new styles and concepts throughout a career spanning three decades.
Signed as Dirtee Stanks’ flagship act in 2006, the Generals have shirked riding on Dizzee Rascal’s coattails. Instead, the Forest Gate duo have focused on making the music that gained them notoriety on London’s pirate airwaves, continuing a legacy that has already yielded underground classics such as ‘Prangman’, ‘Tetsuya’s Theme’ and the devastating ‘Frontline.’
When not in the studio cooking up heat, the pair have toured relentlessly, having supported Dizzee on numerous European and worldwide tours. Opening his sell-out shows across the UK, the Gens have consistently built their repertoire and continue to push their music forward. As D Double E elaborates:
“Every piece of music we have written is something we could go and perform… lively…[it’s] always about making straight bangers.”
Today, as Grime MC’s soften their music in light of renewed mainstream interest, the Generals stand firm – continually versioning the biggest underground beats and working with some of the biggest and most credible producers in the UK.
Newham Generals are foundation, and if you don’t think so – you soon will be.
