Free Music Notes for Boy in da Corner
Free Music Review: Easily one of the top 10 hip-hop albums of the decade: Here's Why
Hit: 5 Stars
1. This is one of those albums that you have to listen to TWICE the first listen -- meaning, you have to listen once for the beats and once for the lyrics....barely any hip-hop albums have that quality anymore.
2. That leads me to the beats -- holy crap. That is all. "Brand New Day" is the only instance of tremolo in any hip-hop track I've heard that actually works. Not to mention the whole album BANGS. I and don't mean "bangs" like a random club track from 50 Cent...I mean this will quite literally break your speakers if you play this too loud.
3. This is not only like any other hip-hop album you will ever hear, it is unlike any other GRIME album, meaning that this is one of the very few instances (along with Wiley's full-length projects) where grime can actually succeed in an album format rather than 12" singles.
4. The lyrics are sincere, raw, and unpretentious. Enough said. Where else are you going to hear an MC scream in a chipmunk voice "I'm your fitness instructor!"
5. I am not a hipster following this pitchfork "oh, north london is so exotic" trend -- I can tell you I'm a hip-hop head to fullest, and this is something that every hip-hop fan should hear, period.
Boy in da Corner Poster
Young, angry, articulate, and frighteningly talented, 18-year old Dizzee Rascal is the voice of a new generation. Alongside Wiley and his fellow Roll Deep Entourage members, East London's Dizzee was propelled to underground fame. His record is Spin's #12 Album Of The Year, it went gold in the UK, and it won the prestigious Mercury Prize in 2003. This domestic release contains one bonus track plus the first two videos.Dizzee Rascal is the latest Brit to try to land on America's rap shores after countless predecessors have failed. Rascal boasts a frenetic verbal presence--the Cockney equivalent to Busta Rhymes--and his first single, "Fix Up, Look Sharp," is as good as you could want: old-school drum breaks meet futuristic flows with a memorable, holler-if-you-hear-me hook. What Rascal has going against him is the fact that he sounds, well, British, and American audiences seem to like their flows homegrown, not imported. Moreover, with pulsing, electro bumps dominating most of the album, the sound is closer to Tricky's than Trick Daddy's. That said, Boy in Da Corner offers boundless energy and Rascal's enthusiasm is palpable. "Jus' a Rascal" is crunked out enough to make Lil Jon proud while "Live O" moves smoothly and steadily with a submarine's deadly grace. Though Rascal won't knock 50 Cent off the charts anytime soon, his debut loudly proclaims that rap's geopolitics may be shifting. --Oliver Wang
