Bleep

Already a true classic and incredibly important album, Dizzee Rascal’s game changing debut 2003 LP Boy In Da Corner crystallizes the sounds, moods and surroundings of the UK’s inner-city in a way that ensures underground hip-hop and grime will never be the same again. Dizzee’s wailing, concentrated anger manifests itself as cut-throat lyrics delivered with precision, taking on a greater intensity once going head to head with the gritted wobble bass of ‘Stop Dat’ and creeping beats on ‘2 Far’. Big, bold statements are made on the classics ‘Fix Up Look Sharp’ and ‘Jus A Rascal’ but it's the harsher ‘Seems 2 Be’ and ‘Live O’ where Dizzee really rips up the rulebook and opens up a new path.
