Barely out of his teens, Dizzee Rascal is tearing up all the rule books and setting the music world alight with his raw talent. His groundbreaking debut album 'Boy In Da Corne'' has been praised for its original production and hard hitting, thought-provoking lyrics, depicting every day life for a teenager growing up on the streets of inner-city London. Influenced by the varied sounds he grew up listening to, from the ghetto fabulous sounds of US hip-hop and r'n'b, the home grown sounds of UK drum 'n' bass and garage, to bands such as Sham 69 and Nirvana, Dizzee Rascal is the voice of a brand new British sound. 'Boy In Da Corner' propelled Dizzee Rascal from underground to mainstream fame in a matter of months and was awarded with the prestigious 2003 Mercury Music Award soon after its release. His follow-up 'Showtime' has achieved top ten success and critical acclaim for it's humble maturity, sense of humour and ability to address his own change of circumstances without losing any of the honesty and grime that made 'Boy In Da Corner great.'
