’Rhythm ’N’ Gash’ - The Story of Grime’s Most Iconic Uncredited Female Vocal - Sub_Terrain Ep. 1

There are only a handful of instrumentals as quintessential to grime as Rebound X’s ’Rhythm ‘N’ Gash’. From JME and Skepta to D Double E, this instrumental has been used by stalwarts of the scene since its early days and has become a true calling card of the genre. Yet, the track itself remains one of the genre’s biggest mysteries. Who exactly is Rebound X – and who performed that iconic vocal for a track that helped shape grime as we know it? Sub_Terrain takes deep dives into pockets of the underground music scene, unearthing the stories and timelines beneath the genres that shape contemporary culture. For our first episode of the series, we join music journalist and BIMM Institute lecturer Danny de Reybekill in his investigation that sheds a little light on the elusive story of ’Rhythm ‘N’ Gash’. ------------------------------------ References & Credits: Channel 4 - ’From Pirate Radio to Mainstream - Grime Story!’ Logan Sa
