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.

Crazy T.
Carl Dobson (born 31 January 1983 in Chingford, East London), known by his stage name Crazy Titch, is a British grime MC of Saint Lucian decent. He is currently serving a life sentence for murder.
Having previously spent five years in Aylesbury (HM Prison) for robbery, handling stolen goods, theft, burglary and criminal damage; Dobson turned his attention to music, and secured a support role with D12. He gained underground fame due to his membership of grime collective Boys In Da Hood, which included various artists including half-brother Durrty Goodz.
Amongst his better known work was Sing Along (2004) and Gully on which he collaborated with Sugababes' Keisha Buchanan. He also produced a documentary entitledCrazy Times Vol.1, and appeared on the grime mixtape Practice Hours. In 2006 he made an appearance as himself along with many other MCs on the Channel 4 show Dubplate Drama.
The East London rapper's most popular hit was I Can C U, receiving heavy airplay on Channel AKA.
Dobson and his stepfather Anthony Green were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of 21 year old Richard Holmes on the Chingford Hall estate in Chingford in November 2006. Possibility for parole was set at a minimum of 30 years by which time he will be in his fifties.[1] The Mac-10 submachine gun used in the murder was found four years after the killing; in February 2009 a local drug dealer was sentenced to seven years imprisonment for its possession.

P X 3.
P Money has most famously had beef with Ghetto in what became one of the most covered and followed wars of the grime scene. While the origins of the feud are debated, people cite P Money's westwood set in 2008 as the main trigger.
The conflict reached a stage that the only way fans felt it could be settled was in a live clash. Many raves at the time claimed to have to the clash booked but it never went ahead.

La Chappelle.
No one can accuse David LaChapelle, a hot fashion and celebrity photographer, of being sleaze-challenged. His lurid color photographs, sort of Dali-filtered-through-Warhol with a lot of Diane Arbus thrown in, were mostly done on assignment, for Details, Paris Vogue and The New York Times Magazine, among other publications. They involve kinky sex, junk foodies, steroid musclemen, surreal daydreams and, above all, the campily maimed.
