The Ultimate 2004: Grime heat and R&B power moves

Throw it back to 2004: when Goodies dropped, Kano came through and Drop It Like It鈥檚 Hot ruled. Pure bangers. Listen on 蜜芽传媒 Sounds or ask your smart speaker for 1Xtra.

2004 was all heat. From Dizzee鈥檚 Stand Up Tall to Ciara鈥檚 Goodies and Snoop鈥檚 Drop It Like It鈥檚 Hot, it was wall-to-wall bangers. Kano and Wiley were repping grime, Destiny鈥檚 Child came back swinging, and Jill Scott, Ashanti and Outkast brought the soul. And yep 鈥� this was the year Facebook launched. But don鈥檛 worry, the status here is: certified vibes only.

Relive it now on 蜜芽传媒 Sounds or tell your smart speaker to play 1Xtra's Throwback Party.
