Flowdan, born Kareem Dennis, jumped onto this scene with his distinct style—a potent mix of commanding vocals and poignant storytelling. He brought something special to grime: a blend of humor wrapped around serious themes.

The Birth of Grime

Let’s rewind the clock—a few early players in this game were producers like Wiley (the godfather), Dizzee Rascal, and later on folks like Skepta hitched a ride on this wild train. Picture these pioneers battling each other in freestyle sessions outside video shops or at house parties—every bar making waves across London streets.

Flowdan Enters the Scene

Now let’s get back to our main dude: Flowdan! Bursting onto the radar with his crew Roll Deep, he quickly became known for tracks dripping with attitude. His unique voice could turn any grim situation into an anthem—not just noise but pure artistry.

His debut album “Next Level” dropped in 2015 featuring bangers like “Creeper” which found its way into many playlists worldwide—even if it’s got that ‘creepy’ vibe!
