Are you mad, blud?

333 on Friday was good despite what prancehall and his shower click are saying. I went to the one late last year and this was a big improvement on that.

Ok so it didn’t do what it said on the tin (or flier) and there were some choking wastemen on the stage who cut some of the limelight from some of the real stars, but there were plenty of hype moments and I thought the crowd was pretty good. That said I left before three so things might’ve deteriorated thereafter. Highlights: the crowd filling in Skepta’s bars, Tempa T’s winding body and ‘swing’ bars, Fuda Guy bringing MCs onto the audience’s side of the barrier (when I though we might some grime-styled stage-diving), seeing All in One back in the scene again & Maximum’s set.

Big up Chantelle for putting the whole thing on. It may be a while before grime hones its live ‘product’ but that will come with time (and once mcs put themselves in the shoes of the audience and think about what they might want), but the priority for now is getting these nights ON.
