Hi Steemians,

With this #merky account, I would like to create content related to hip hop music, but specifically focused on grime.

What is grime?

Grime is a genre of music that emerged in London in the early 2000s. It developed out of earlier UK electronic music styles, including UK garage and jungle, and draws influence from dancehall, ragga and later hip hop. The style is typified by rapid, syncopated breakbeats, generally around 130 or 140 bpm,[2] and often features an aggressive or jagged electronic sound. Rapping is also a significant element of the style, and lyrics often revolve around gritty depictions of urban life.

Why the user name #merky?

"Hashtag Merky" has been popularized by a well-known grime artist named Stormzy. As Steemit is a social network which uses tags in categorizing different posts, it makes a lot of sense to use the most known hashtag there is in grime music.

What's next?

Taking in account the community feature is coming to the Steem blockchain, #merky would like to become the source for content creation related to grime music. The way we look at it, content will be changing in the future. #merky would like to play a big role in these coming developments, specifically focusing on grime music.
