Dizzee Rascal

(link goes to his MySpace page, with streaming music from latest album 'Maths+English'. Lyrics definitely NSFW)

Winner of the Mercury Prize. One of the leading lights of the UK's Grime scene.

Opinions?

For my part, it's really not something I thought would appeal to me - but having listened to a bit,  I do like the electronic element of the music (especially on Where's Da G's, although it doesn't kick in until some way into the song...)

I'm a little divided on him, too. He has a read grass roots origins, so there's a genuine angle to his work that's sometimes lacking from big production artists in the larger rap family.

It's not really to my taste, but within that niche I find him the least objectionable I've heard. He's a category C in my radio listening- in tht he's just good enough for not to change the station.
