- BBC Radio 1Xtra presenter and rapper A.Dot goes on a search across the UK to find rappers to take part in the ultimate Grime cypher. She interviews rappers in Bradford, and some Grime legends along the way.
- A.Dot's Story of Grime follows A.Dot's attempt to get the biggest names in Grime to clash in a cypher called Grimeageddon, royal rumble style.
First she attended the 2016 Red Bull Culture Clash, a sound clash competition featuring the biggest names in Hip Hop, Dancehall, Grime, and Garage, to give a mainstream example of what she wants, but with less glitz and glam.
She then goes back to grime clashing roots by meeting Lord of the Mics co-founders Ratty and Jammer at Jammer's childhood family home.
She interviewed people which include BBC radio deejays Logan Sama, and DJ Target, and rapper NoLay to get their advice and opinions on what she's trying to do, and get some some of them involved.
She attended the 2016 Bestival festival and interviewed BBC radio deejay Sian Anderson, along with rappers Wiley, AJ Tracey, and Jammz.
She interviewed rapper Ghetts, and rapper President T to try and get them involved. Deejay Sir Spyro agreed with Dot that President T should accept the challenge.
She goes to meet rapper Devilman in Birmingham, but he doesn't turn up.
She interviews Bradfordians including videographer James Guy, producer Rubix Cube, rappers Blazer Boccle, Wrapz, and Mic Man Sparxxx, along with Huddersfield rapper Jahrel Mission, in Rubix's Thornton, Bradford based music studio. The Bradfordians give their views on rappers up North, clashing and grime in general.
She then meets with GRM Daily founder Posty, to get his advice.
She then speaks with Logan Sama, and Jammer's manager Chantelle Fiddy, telling them it's harder than she thought.
Wolverhampton rapper Raider, Kilburn rapper Big Zuu, along with cousins Shizz McNaughty and Discarda from Bow battle it out in the Grimeageddon cypher. Logan Sama deejayed for the cypher, while the West Yorkshire boys James, Rubix, Blazer, Wrapz, Mic Man, Jahrel, and D-Lo from Bradford watched on, before finally getting a go on the mic at the end.
