Dizzee Rascal

Well, that's Nems with Locked In.

I do want to also mention Dizzee Rascal with We Want Bass.

Another UK rapper, literally 20 years Nem senior, yet for me, bringing way more energy, way more dynamic of a project.

Dizzee Rascal has been a staple in the UK grime scene for years.

He's one of the first UK rappers I ever heard personally.

He used to be on, like, hell at EDM remixes also, so he's very well known in multiple scenes.

in some interviews over the years about how he just has a random relationship with Bun B. Um, so it's cool to have him and, uh, and Bun B on a track together.

Um, yeah, uh, there's a, most of them are pretty much just, you know, variations of just, you know, kind of You know, kind of outside music, right? Fat bass, you know, Deezer Rascal doing his thing, having a good time on the track of just, you know, of different, a lot of them are just the same in that sense, in that thematic, but, you know, just with different ways of going about it.

but there's also a track like Oh Why which has him asking pretty political questions which I like and also Tell Me Why at the end where he kind of just gets into his you know telling his truth so to speak in terms of you know fighting for custody of his kids and you know, bitter ex-wife, all that kind of stuff, telling his truth on that front.

Um, you know, he did get caught, uh, convicted, I think for like a, uh, for like assault or something like that a couple of years ago.

My God, why can't I ...

What is Dizzee Rascal?

What, like, grime?

Grime.

Is there anything that Amy would definitely want playing at her wedding?

Dizzee Rascal, Holiday.

[laughs]

Love that.

That's her favorite song.

That's, like, the Amy anthem.

On our wedding, we actually tried to book Dizzee Rascal.

No way.

Yeah.

So like, so, I mean, um, last year or a couple years ago covering, covered Boy in da Corner by Dizzee Rascal which I think is a bit more kind of like proper kind of like Lon- just it sounds like London thing.

And it's not, this isn't, this isn't quite that.

This is like a more, like a more placeless sound, but there are elements to kind of that garage kind of like almost dubstep a- a- aspect.

Yeah

... calling it a kind of placeless is, that's exactly right.

Yes, like it's not kind of like, again, talk, coming back to say for example Boy in da Corner, um, by Dizzee Rascal, like you can hear the pavements of London in that.

Like it, it feel, it feels like it's of a place.

400, and that's a standing ticket.

We just paid for Dizzee Rascal $99, and that's a standing ticket.

Is that all?

That's...

Uh, not as good a line up that year.

Top four, mm, top four band I've ever seen live.

Yeah.
