The Grit Story Symposium

The UKs first Grime Symposium - hosted by Logan Sama, Kiss FM. A forum to talk about Grime and discuss why it gets such bad press. Why are some people to scared to touch this scene? With live performances, an open mic and a non-stop soundtrack of the best Grime music, the symposium attracted over 120 people to talk about a genre they love.
