Daily Ghetto: Lethal Bizzle - Forward Riddim

POW!

This was THE hype song from back in the day. Forget Tempz Next Hype, this song is the UK hype anthem. It was banned in clubs because people would get too rowdy if the DJ ever dropped it.

Forward Riddim was one of the songs that got the Grime genre recognized as more than just an underground music scene in 2004, and propelled Lethal Bizzle into the spotlight.

The song starts with Lethal B spraying those now infamous bars that gets everybody going.

Then a whole host of MCs drop some bars, including Ozzie B and Neeko from More Fire Crew (Lethal B being the third member of the group), and D Double E from the Newham Generals.

This is a classic Grime beat as well - repeat the same thing for the whole song and just let the bars do the talking.

The video is about as ghetto as the song - just watch it to see what I mean.
