Roachee & Trim

Grime favourites, former Roll Deep members and first cousins Trim and Roachee decided to team up again for this EP. Featuring in the EP past and present grime artists like Tinchy Stryder, Stutta and Rapid among others

Roachee

Richard 'Roachee' Roach is an MC and former member of Roll Deep, having joined the collective in late 2004 although in 2005 Chantelle Fiddy referred to him as a member of Bomb Squad.When he left is uncertain but it was while he was in prison and probably at the same time his cousin Trim left the collective. Like Trim, Roachee is close to Ruff Sqwad members.

Roachee is responsible for possibly Roll Deep’s most famous grime song When I'm 'Ere Roachee appears on the opening and closing verses of the song. Although he has relatively few lyrics, Roachee is well liked amongst grime fans for his agressive bars.

Since his release from prison in the latter half of 2008 Roachee has apparently recorded tracks with Trim and Lee Brasco and is apparently working on a project with Skepta and Desperado. Roachee appeared on a remix to Tinchy Stryder's track Rollin produced by Maniac.

Trim

Trim (real name Javan St. Prix) is a grime MC from Chrisp Street, E14 (Isle of Dogs). He first began MCing with the Bomb Squad around 2002, shortly after he left jail. He soon made a name for himself as a member of Roll Deep for his unique wordplay, flow and rhyme structure.

As a member of the Roll Deep, he recorded tracks and performed live with fellow East London MCs Wiley, Riko, Breeze, Roachee and Scratchy (with whom he attended school and is close friends).

He was arrested for assault in Aiya Napa after an incident involving Marcus Nasty (of NASTY Crew) and his girlfriend. He eventually left Roll Deep in 2007 after numerous disagreements with Flowdan, recording multiple diss tracks taking aim at Flowdan. He is also noted for making one the most brutal disses in grime, in which he sent for Major Ace, Sniper E and Stormin. In 2009 he also exchanged diss tracks with Wiley.

Trim has released four mixtapes (Soul Food Vol. 1-4) on which members of his new crew ‘The Circle’ make appearances. Trim claims to be working on an album and expects to complete recording in the near future.
