Grime Cypher UK x Brazil | Fleezus, Febem, Jevon, Eyez + Yizzy

► Subscribe to Red Bull Music: This is what happens when Brazil’s emerging grime scene touches down at Red Bull Music Studios London. Sao Paulo’s Febem and Fleezus join forces with the cream of the UK grime scene – Jevon, Eyez and Yizzy – to bring these different sides of the world together. Grime exploded out of London in the early ‘00s, but as it tipped from the underground into the mainstream, it also spread globally, sparking homegrown scenes in countries around the world. More recently, it’s settled in Brazil, where up-and-coming MCs like Febem, Fleezus and Leall – as well as producers like Cesrv – are blending familiar grime sounds with more typically Brazilian genres like baile funk. Says Cesrv: “It feels as though grime belongs here – it already operates at a similar BPM to baile funk. It’s getting bigger with people like Febem and Fleezus – there are at least four shows a month these days.” He mentions that kids are really paying attention to it
