Can anyone please help. I’ve been racking my brains all week over this one.

Do any of you know the name of the group who did that tune “Oi”, it was out about 2/3 years ago?

More fire crew? Think it was a bit older than 2 or 3 years and wasn't Lethal B a member of that 'collective'?

It's more like 5 years since this came out (2001). Doesn't seem that long ago, eh?

People in the know pinpoint Oi as the tune where garage started turning to grime as it was a lot more aggressive than your usual garage choonz but i think the first official grime choon where it was definately a new breed of music that was even more aggressive and heavily hip hop influenced was I Luv U by Dizzee Rascal in 2002.

5 years flippin eck your right it doesnt seem that long.Thanks for the video link

I had all of these "commercial" tracks saved on my hard drive but my pc went kaput and everything went I'm now trying to remember what I had and re-downloading them onto my mp3 player

Thanks for that you've given me another tune that I liked.

Ok, I now have Oi, Heartless Theme, What do you call it, Friday night, Boo and now I luv you - what other songs in that genre were out around and after that time?

Thanks

The other main tune from that time which was huge was Know We by Pay As You Go Kartel.

A good compilation which includes a lot of the choonz that straddled the garage/grime divide is this one..

That tracklisting should jog your memory on some more to download.

Some other great tunes from that period that weren't really hits but kinda shaped how the music was going were..

Musical Mobb-Pulse X

Kano-Boys Luv Girls

Danny Weed & Target-Fresh Air/Hyperdrive

Wiley ft Dizzee Rascal-Ice Rink

It's weird how huge garage was and how grime started out in the top 40 with the likes of Know We, Oi, and I luv u but then went backwards into being this real underground music and very few of the big tunes have really been chart hits, save the really huge ones like Pow by Lethal Bizzle, innit.
