What we say
I'm comin' back at yer now I've survived the onslaught that is the both the Wiley and Dizzie lp's, phew! things sound proper heavy in the world of grime. The word is Wiley sticks to his roots and his background in Grime life-check out the sub Garage licks on "Playtime is Over" (Big Dada). Meaning, he's still in London whilst Dizzie get's (to Kent allegedly) out to escape beef, reinventing himself with more of a rap- hip hop stance, nifty collaborations, pop and James Brown breaks. What the label says:Dizzee Rascal returns with new album ‘Maths & English’. On the one hand it’s easily his most accessible record to date. On the other, it’s as brutally honest and confrontational as anything he’s ever done. Check out first single ‘Sirens’ – with it’s explosive and provocative video and Korn-inspired metal guitars. It’s already the UK’s answer to Jay-Z’s ‘99 Problems’. Or the Lyn Collins-sampling ‘Pussy’ole’, which is the straightest hip hop track he’s ever done.The album also features a host of special guests, including the vivacious backchat of Lily Allen on ‘Wanna Be’, the Shy FX-produced ‘Da’ Feelin’, and the gangster rap anthem ‘Where’s Da G’s’ with US legends Bun B and Pimp C (UGK). Then there’s the reggae infused ‘Temptation’ which samples Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys. While ‘Maths & English’ may have been inspired by a huge number of different styles and influences, the album retains its distinctively British identity and only goes to enhance that Dizzee Rascal really is one of the greatest musical talents Britain has ever produced. |
