During the 90s and early 2000s, hip hop was finding its way to Britain, adopting the boom bap sound that was growing at the same time in the States. What came next was gangsta rap, the subgenre that was to revolutionise UK rap forever. From approximately 2006–12, London street crews gravitated to this music due to relatability to their environments. These six years were the bridge between underground boom bap and the commercially thriving scene we have today.
