20 years since Boy In Da Corner

This is my favourite one he made.

It blew my mind when I first watched Stranger Than Paradise and heard the sample


the average grime producer could've just thrown some bass behind that sample and it still would've been great, but what dizzee does with the bleep arpeggio and cutting up the sample to make it even more staccato at the end of each measure takes it to the next level. drums are perfect of course too. still think he was one of the top 2 or 3 grime producers. maybe even my favourite

also there's something so evocative of england in those grime beats that use orchestral strings or pizzicato, I'm not exactly sure why

I'm pretty sure the storm sfx is from the mix it was cut from by blackdown. I know cos I'm the one who cut it out the mix and originally uploaded it

It's like that on the 20th anniversary edition too.

dizzee is somehow underrated as a producer

Last night, been to one a few weeks ago and it was great but the cunts wouldn’t reply to my DM to get the address yesterday

I saw him on the showtime tour it was really good. Took my younger brother as his first "gig," got him rotten drunk, good night
