"Pow!"

While Dizzee Rascal may be the poster boy for the UK’s grime scene, he’s definitely not creating the biggest ruckus. As vigorous as Dizzee’s tunes are, More Fire Crew’s Lethal Bizzle has created a song that is literally causing people to act violent. "Pow!" is one of the biggest underground anthems the UK has ever faced, with its fat bass, skittering garage beats and the multiple MCs’ constant holler of "Pow!" Like a scene out of 28 Days Later, the song enrage a crowd who went batty at London’s Notting Hill Carnival, swinging from trees and starting fights. That was only one of many incidents that has occurred. The song has become so potent that club promoters and radio programmers have banned it across Britain, while NME has deemed it the most dangerous song since the Sex Pistols released the instantly banned "God Save The Queen" in 1977.
