DJ Target grew up in Bow under the shadow of Canary Wharf, with money looming close on the skyline. The ''Godfather of Grime'' Wiley and Dizzee Rascal first met each other in his bedroom. They were all just grime kids on the block back then, and didn''t realise they were to become pioneers of an international music revolution. A movement that permeates deep into British culture and beyond. Household names were borne out of those housing estates, and the music industry now jumps to the beat of their gritty reality rather than the tune of glossy aspiration.
