defined by its dark, sluggish and violent content, similar to road rap but over grime instrumentals. Only a few other MC's have tried making the subgenre, such as Shxdow. Eskibeat Eskibeat was initially a name given to grime music by Wiley before grime was the agreed upon title. The term "eskibeat" is derived from Eskimo, a name for indigenous people who live in the extremely cold northern circumpolar region. This reflected Wiley's mindset at the time, which was both "angry" and "cold-hearted". Eskibeat would later develop into a subgenre of grime, defined by the "futuristic, icy cold synths, devastating basslines and awkward, off-kilter rhythms" pioneered by Wiley in tracks like "Igloo" and "Eskimo", one of the first examples of grime music and eskibeat. Eskibeat production has had a massive impact on grime music, and has had an influence on UK drill. Notable producers of Eskibeat would be Wiley, Zomby, Danny Weed, and Lewi B. Rhythm & grime Rhythm & grime, also known as R&G or R'n'G, is a subgenre pioneered in 2004-5 by producers Terror Danjah, DaVinChe and Scratcha DVA, along with the support of BBC 1Xtra's DJ Cameo. The subgenre mixed grime with R&B, showcasing a softer side of grime, often with accompanying R&B vocals, while keeping the 140bpm rugged sound of grime. Many UK R&B singers, such as Sadie Ama, Lady Ny, Katie Pearl and Gemma Fox would perform over R&G instrumentals, usually without an MC rapping alongside them. Many grime artists also made various R&G tracks, such as Ruff Sqwad, Wiley, Kano, Skepta and Dizzee Rascal. Producers such as Blackjack, Iron Soul, Low Deep and Kid D also incorporated R&G elements into their instrumentals. Lady Ny has stated she was the first woman to sing on grime, and the first woman to bring out a grime mixtape. There was some push back against R&G from people who felt it was too Americanised, such as DJ Logan Sama who referred to R&G as having "gimmicks". According to Terror Danjah, after making the track "So Sure" with Kano and Sadie Ama, grime MC Crazy Titch initially told him to stop making "girl tunes", although he would later request Terror produce one for himself. In 2006, Scratcha DVA released the album The Voice of Grime featuring 22 different singers. It was unique at the time due to being the first project to have so many different women singing over grime
