The MCs producing current grime music are overwhelmingly young as a group, the most well known names in the industry, Dizzee Rascal and Kano, both getting their first hits at the age of 16 with "I Luv U" and "Boys Love Girls" respectively, and the resultant package of "youth making music for youth" is seen as a crucial factor for grime's success.

- Pay As U Go. 'Know We' (2000) Understanding grime means understanding where it came from – run-down inner London council estates, in the anxious atmosphere of a new millennium, with UK garage's bottle of Cristal champagne shattering into a million pieces on the pavement.
- Wiley. 'Eskimo' (2002) Breaking free from UK garage meant building something new, “an even colder sound” than So Solid had managed, as Wiley put it.

- Dizzee Rascal. 'Imagine' (2004) On his classic first two albums, 'Boy in da Corner' and 'Showtime', Dizzee shows himself to be not just a genius lyricist and beat-maker – while still a teenager, no less – but a kind of frontline reporter, on overlooked lives and untold stories from the troubled world around him: paranoid, marginalised, and scapegoated by cops, politicians and the media, precarious and yet trapped.
- Lethal Bizzle. 'Pow! (Forward)'(2004) Where to start with a tune so raucous it was banned from clubs across London and Essex? ‘ All Lethal B tracks are banned from this venue (including instrumentals)’ read one such sign, a testament to the power of Dexplicit’s 'Forward' riddim: even the instrumental alone was too liable to start a riot.
