## What 2 lists say

### No. 9 in [Grime](https://waxonia.com/genre/grime/)

Grime as a fully confident export, with the beat still built from almost nothing. Thirteen years after Pulse X, the genre's commercial peak sounds no less austere than its beginning.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)

Thirteen years after grime began, its commercial peak is still built from almost nothing. Total confidence with no additional ingredients.
