KMT
(2025)
‘KMT’ is a response to ISTD’s 2025 ‘Milestones’ brief. It explores the rise, and gradual evolution, of three London based music genres: Grime (2000s), Road Rap (Early to mid 2010s) and Drill (2016 to early 2020s). The milestones are presented in chronological order and explore: the moments that turned these local scenes into globally recognised genres, the suppression and censorship of these genres by the police, and the social, economic and political factors that impacted or caused the key milestones.
