This Saturday the Newham Generals perform their first live show at Urban Nerds in years, with grime legends D Double E, Footsie and Rinse FM’s DJ Tubby getting set to blow the roof at XOYO!

The Newham Generals aka D Double E and Footsie are grime scene veterans and are among the most respected underground acts in the UK today, with a career spanning three decades, defined by anthems like ‘Frontline’ and ‘Prangman’. Their notoriety recently saw them collaborate with Breakage (protégé of drum & bass legend Shy FX) to release dubstep banger ‘Hard’. Today, as grime MCs soften their music in light of renewed mainstream interest, the Generals stand firm – continually versioning the biggest underground beats and working with some of the biggest and most credible producers in the UK!

Ahead of Saturday night, we’ve caught up with one half of the crew, Footsie to get hyped for their massive live show at XOYO, plus get some talk about boat parties? It’s all in here…

Big up Cambosh for filming & editing this!

You can catch Newham Generals (D Double E & Footsie) live at Urban Nerds at XOYO on Saturday 26th March alongside Zinc, Hot City, Engine-EarZ Experiment Live, Marcus Nasty Presents, Rattus, Klose, Scott Garcia, Mak10 & Spyro and many more! £12 advance tickets are about to sell out, grab yours here!

For anyone who wasn’t, some badman has whacked it on YouTube. Long story short, Shy FX absolutely kills it on the Metalheadz system, with Katy B ‘On a Mission’ and Newham Generals ‘Hard’ dubs that were nothing less than amazing. Skream and Benga…ouch.

THIS is the true meaning of dubplate…
