Dizzee Rascal - 'I Luv U' (XL)
4/5
By: Toby L
None of the pretence to subscribe openly to a US-pioneered sound-bite, Dizzee Rascal is an East London 18-year-old ready to ignite his home-land with the most powerful form of gift of the gab - the truth.
Well, the truth of today's youth in one of the busiest capitals in the world. No, it ain't pretty, more frightful, scary, gritty - tales of debauchery, deceit and lies in the city. 'I Luv U' marks the official widespread release of a hotly-received 12" white-label; now made available for the masses, its sentiments of underage pregnancy and general, disgruntled 'hood occurrences are dark and demonically heavy (thanks to a cage-rattling, head-thumping, drilling bass-line throughout). And thus forms the most exciting garage/urban breakthrough performance since So Solid first pissed us all off a year or two back.
Wait with baited breath for similar work from this worthy, teen upstart.
