Non-UK grime exists but it never got much attention in the UK. Some places have some/had some good stuff going on though. China yes, it actually had a notable niche scene ~2014-2016 in [Shanghai](https://www.vice.com/en/article/qbvdp5/inside-shanghais-grime-scene). It was entirely DJ/producer based and centred around a popular music club active at the time (shut down now). It appears to have simmered out but they made a lot of really cool stuff. I made a playlist awhile ago ([youtube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3HAEVgGJAgondfuIdOnKIKr_oSdpVCZR), [spotify](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1wprHG4En5CZWCI4BcUPVK), [soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/madbrad200/sets/chinese-grime))). Some good tunes: [Naaah — 我的钢琴被弹坏了](https://soundcloud.com/nahm8/zee0v3goyxdb?in=madbrad200/sets/chinese-grime) [Swimul - Shanghai (Swimful's 青浦 Remake)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SboXVFO9g6o) Zean produced this [P Money](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYrH96X-7Z8) tune on his last album. If you're looking for Chinese vocals, there's only a handful of songs (however, there was no MC scene and there are no "grime artists"). [艾福杰尼 (After Journey) ft. Cadell - 2 Much](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gunsdg2Pu3I) [Cee - 就是簡單](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VOSfLsXHi0) [A.T.M. - 今天晚上去 (Prod. HARIKIRI, Delf & Lumi)](https://soundcloud.com/lumi-1/atm-prod-harikiri-delf-lumi) --- India does not have a grime scene, nor does Indonesia.. I'm aware of a handful of songs but this is it really: [Bandish Projekt - Khaari](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1k3eXmIITA) could prob be considered grime. [Rioralphy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW33T253Fk4) had one song, [Satvicious](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sej_tINAylc) and [Shree Sen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQWedqRrSLc) too. They're nothing great tho. Same with Indonesia, [XYZ](https://youtu.be/ROn8nSM7Akc) had a song with NinjaTea (a British pinoy). [Mardial](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zxvad4kZl8) too. These are not grime artists and you won't find anything else from them in the genre. --- Now I'm going to overload you purely because I like documenting this. Nobody else has. If you're talking about "scenes" and not just "random song this guy put out", then only China (Shanghai), Japan, Korea, and Russia fit the bill. Going to just copy a Quora answer I wrote once since it basically answers your question: There’s so much Japanese grime (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3HAEVgGJAgo3rL6K4ichR4-lb3IFqGap), I made a playlist! Catarrh Nisin, MC Beyond, PAKIN, MC Duff, MC Snow, Prettybwoy, and many more… South Korean artists such as ASSBRASS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPuPFwYrnnc&t=0s), 3RACHA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0655I3lKmJU&feature=youtu.be), Boi B (보이비) and Geegooin (지구인) (https://youtu.be/XY3n3VHLD30), Damndef and Lobotome and Chaboom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFh9b8ZYKTs), Moldy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=90&v=akbmm-4O0_s), Rhythm Power (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BaZjlwAvyg), Kim Kate (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0erdEqOvUM) and others have made grime. I have a playlist for K-Grime https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3HAEVgGJAgqunxrpSMKRQ6vXyIu5l5Vu it's really good imo ---- An Iranian MC (Farhood) had a really cool EP back in 2015: [*Tike Tike*](https://farhood.bandcamp.com/album/tike-tike), which has some grime. Kazakh MC’s дима бамберг (Dima Bamberg) (https://youtu.be/Tm2-vBUAnNs) and Jewelz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDfPqOrpvj8) make grime. They spit in Russian and I believe are mostly associated with the Russian music scene though (which has a big grime scene of their own, I assume some of them are from the asian part of Russia). Kuwati artist Fatima Al Qadiri (https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=yXoZ1eD1xLw&list=PL3HAEVgGJAgpygUgyXGtSeYs4xcTZQlIL&index=77&t=0s) has made grime. She's a producer though (pretty good one), she had a popular album a few years ago that got a lot of hype (Asiatisch) David Dimaguila from the Philippines made a grime song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pKYsIYqGb8). Pretty sure he's not done anymore... some other guy called [KYD Grimey](https://youtu.be/6IERky3Peqk) too (this tune slaps imo). There's prob more from the Philippines out there I haven't looked into it much. Israeli producer Kalbata [made some grime](https://youtu.be/W8c4_gRdksE). IDK if he's made a lot though I'm only familiar with this one tune. Moslem Priest did [some grime influenced stuff](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DaLFA6UluY). He's a producer from Malaysia. Ao Wu from Taiwan [also](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pJ2z0bizT4). These producers are both a bit left-field There you go, Asian grime.
