Roll Deep, formerly Roll Deep Entourage, are an English grime crew. They were founded in 2002 by Wiley following the disbandment of UK garage crew, Pay As U Go Cartel.〔()〕 The crew distributed a number of mixtapes and vinyl singles independently before being signed to a major label and releasing their debut album ''In at the Deep End'' in June 2005. Four singles were released from the album: "Heat Up", "The Avenue", "When I'm 'Ere" and "Shake a Leg". They won an Urban Music Award〔the same year.〕 Their second album ''Rules and Regulations'' was released in 2007, followed by the release of ''Return Of The Big Money Sound'' in 2008. Current member Wiley and former members Dizzee Rascal and Tinchy Stryder have gone on to be successful solo artists in the UK and even the U.S., with songs that have topped charts. The group got their first UK number 1 single with the song "Good Times" in May 2010 and the group's second UK number 1 single was "Green Light" in August 2010. Their next single was "Take Control", featuring R&B singer Alesha Dixon, which charted at number 29 on 7 November 2010. Roll Deep release their new single 'Picture perfect' (produced by Agent X) peaking at #19 in the indie charts. They released their fifth studio album in 2012 before entering an indefinite hiatus in 2013. ==History== Roll Deep have been consistent supporters of Love Music Hate Racism and have played at many of the organisation's more high profile events including the memorial for murdered teenager Anthony Walker, and released a single and video of "Racist People", from the ''Rules and Regulations'' LP. In October 2006, Roll Deep participated in a project of Tate Modern museum where various groups and songwriters were invited to choose a work that inspired them from the gallery's collection of modern art and then write a track about it. Roll Deep's submission, ''Searching'', was inspired by the Anish Kapoor sculpture ''Ishi's Light'', and can be heard on headphones in front of the work or on the Tate Tracks website.〔(Tate | Tate Tracks )〕 Roll Deep have appeared on BBC 1Xtra on numerous occasions. Members that appeared on the show include Wiley, Scratchy, Flow Dan, Breeze, Brazen, Riko and Manga. In later years the groups work began to take a more mainstream orientated approach which lead to members such as Riko and Flowdan becoming less active within the crew. In March 2014 Flowdan confirmed in an interview on Rinse FM the group's current hiatus and discussed the lack of drive from other members to work on music collectively.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iauCQy3yiro〕 However many members of the crew are still active as solo artists and none have ruled out a return to writing music together in the future. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roll Deep」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
