As a member of the Roll Deep, he recorded tracks and performed live with fellow East London MCs Wiley, Riko, Breeze, Roachee and Scratchy (with whom he attended school and is close friends).
He was arrested for assault in Aiya Napa after an incident involving Marcus Nasty (of NASTY Crew) and his girlfriend. He eventually left Roll Deep in 2007 after numerous disagreements with Flowdan, recording multiple diss tracks taking aim at Flowdan. He is also noted for making one the most brutal disses in grime, in which he sent for Major Ace, Sniper E and Stormin. In 2009 he also exchanged diss tracks with Wiley.
Trim has released fourteen mixtapes (Soul Food Vol. 1-14) on which members of his new crew ‘The Circle’ make appearances. In 2016 he released his debut album "1-800 Dinosaur Presents: Trim" with James Blake's label 1-800 Dinosaur. The album featured producers working in various genres, from UK Bass to Weightless, thus diverging from traditional grime. Since then Trim has released several EPs where he continued working with producers in a variety of electronic genres.

Trim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh, woah
Dancing on my mind, caressing my eyes
Making me blind to anything else
Take another sip, with those crimson lips
Your cider′s cold but that's the only thing...
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman, I′ll stand
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman, I'll stand
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh, woah
I was, happy on my own, but then seeds were sown
Drawn in by your quotes of films that I love
Now ripe for the reap, in Albanian heat
Could this be the woman I hoped I would meet?
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman, I'll stand
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman, I′ll stand
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman, I′ll stand
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman, I'll stand
Trim's song "Love of a Woman" is an ode to the power of love and its ability to transform one's life. The song begins with the singer being seduced by a woman who has taken over his thoughts and senses. He is enamored by her crimson lips and is unable to divert his attention from her. The intoxicating effect of love has blinded him to everything else around him.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on how this woman has changed his life. He was formerly content with being alone, but now finds himself drawn in by her interests and charms. He acknowledges that love can be all-consuming but he is willing to stand for it. He has found someone who shares his interests and passions and it's worth it, for the love of a woman. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "For the love of a woman, I'll stand."
Trim's lyrics paint a vivid picture of falling in love and the profound impact it can have on one's life. The use of a repeating chorus emphasizes the power of love to transform and to give one strength. The lyrics also showcase the idea that sometimes a person can come into your life unexpected, but their presence and love can change everything.
