This is another great album by Dizzee Rascal *a young UK musician*. Boy in tha corner and Showtime were strictly grime. This is a mixture of grime, old school hip hop and a little bit of rock. With collaborations with Lilly Allen, Alex Turner of the Artic Monkeys and 2 rappers from America it all adds to an overall good album. The first salient point about this album is clear as soon as you look down the track listing and see "feat. Lilly Allen" and "feat. Alex Turner"; this is Dizzee going "mainstream”. Of course there are still those old "gang violence" references in full flow but the juxtaposition of these references and lyrics such as "Pull your trousers up!… Read a book!… Find a pretty girl and settle!" make for an exhilarating listen, even if at times the ideas seem to jar. One of the best tracks is Pussyole, which is the finest songs of any genre that I've heard in quite some time, and excitement is also to be found on the likes of Sirens (think Jay Z's 99 Problems set in London) and Where's Da G's (which talks about "fake aggression" on the streets and includes the "find a pretty girl and settle" line quoted earlier). As for the Allen and Arctic Monkeys tie-ins, they're good, but don't match up to the best moments on the album. On the whole this is a remarkable album. The variety of it may surprise some, but it provides the album with the magic that makes it pretty irresistible.
