submeat’s top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love
#9 “Fix Up, Look Sharp,” Dizzee Rascal (XL UK)
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Billy Squier, grime star... What gets me so crucially about Dizzee’s stunning debut Boy In Da Corner is its minimalism. Perversely, he’s about musicality at the same time that his own music is so stripped-down as to bring to mind a burned-out Cadillac chassis. Simon Reynolds (who should know) calls Dizzee the most important British MC since Tricky. I think he may prove to be even moreso.
