Newham Generals are an English East London based grime duo consisting of MCs D Double E and Footsie[1] with live DJing provided by DJ Tubby. The group was founded in 2003, after splitting from grime collective N.A.S.T.Y Crew with former member Monkstar. The pair were signed to Dizzee Rascal's Dirtee Stank record label in 2005, after D Double E showed Dirtee Stank a CD of the groups work,[2] and promptly released a mix CD on the label. They released their debut album Generally Speaking in April 2009 and a EP Bag of Grease the following year. Dizzee Rascal idolised D Double E as an MC in his youth.[3]
