We spoke with one of the gurus of grime and one half of the Newham Generals D Double E to talk about his upcoming EP Bag Of Grease and whats in store for the future.
You're widely regarded as somewhat of a veteran of the Grime scene, how did this first come about?

Your collective the Newham Generals are set to release the new E.P BAG OF GREASE on Dizzee Rascal's label Dirtee Stank. Can you tell us a bit about how this came together?
Basically skitz beatz and long time friend of ares had produced a tune with esko on the hook called IM A GENERAL( r.i.p esko) because he just passed at the time it was a good idea to show support to him.. the tuned caused alot of heat so we decided to do another track called LIKE I OR NOT.. big track .. we decided to make an ep with 5 tracks and we called it BAG OF GREASE...We also have a track called bag of grease on there ft SKEPTA from Boy Better Know..
With such a mad hectic schedule are planning to keep up your slot on Rinse FM, and aside from this will we be hearing more from you in the next couple of months?
