I know that track, Ina di ghetto. I think I posted it in one of the numerous grime threads rolling around here but yeah I can hear the difference with the beat compared to that Maniac track.

Yep I can admit that I would just lump British rap into the Grime category and call it the same thing but it's actually different beat wise, more of a 2-step and breakbeats sound.

For the 'road' style of Rap I think Big H is more interesting (although he does do actual Grime as well) and he's got more variety in his sound:
This is my first time hearing Big H but I'll look into him and see what else he has to offer.
The verse on this track is the first time I heard of Giggs and after hearing Don't go there and Look over your shoulder that really sealed it for me with liking his flow.
