History
Dizzee Rascal made grime sound like the place it came from. Boy in da Corner, written while he was still a teenager in Bow, east London, runs on cheap brittle synth stabs, square-wave bass and drum patterns that lurch instead of swing, with a voice pitched high and pushed to the edge of cracking. The album won the Mercury Prize in 2003 and pulled a scene that lived on pirate radio and white labels into national view, which no grime record had managed before. Fix Up, Look Sharp rides a hard drum break and plays bravado for comedy. Sirens is closer to reportage, all paranoia and pursuit, with no relief in the beat. Later he turned toward the charts with Bonkers and a run of dance singles that traded the raw edges for a big room, splitting opinion in the scene that raised him and giving him a second career on daytime radio. What never changed is the delivery: clipped, fast and conversational, a voice that sounds like it is arguing with the beat rather than riding it.
