Dizzee Rascal

I knew the name, knew he'd won the Mercury music prize, and had a rough idea of what to expect.

Having just given it it's first spin though it impressed MOre than expected! Which is nice!

Very raw sounding, very urban, and very much of the front line of UK music.

Will spin it a few MOre times (I've got a few other new things to listen to too), but very positive after first listen.

Anyone else heard this?

 

I actually bought this the day it came out in the summer. I had heard "i luv u" and liked it and so was feeling lucky.

My copy has been played almost constantly for a period, especially when out and about in the car.

I like the beats and the sarky lyrics.

A deserved if somewhat unlikely winner of the mercury music prize imho

 

Well I've played it thrice now today and it's excellent!

Highly reccomended!

 

I got this one about a month ago.

I havnt played it that much since getting it tbh wich i supose shows my thoughts on the matter.
But actually i think the album although in places a bit repetive it had a good sound and was that bit differant then the normal garage style stuff you hear.

altogether a 3.5/5
