Dylan Kwabena Mills is Dizzee Rascal, today's Sunday Spotlight, it's November 8th and Donald Trump better use this to soundtrack packing his bags from the White House.
It's a big news day, its a day to celebrate and the British MC, rapper, songwriter and record producer has given us so many hits over the years to help celebrate this moment. 2020 has been a punish times feel like they are changing, Dizzee has constantly been a genre game changer. Jumping from grime music toUK garage, bassline, British hip hop, and R&B.
Dizzee Rascal released his début album Boy in da Corner in 2003. This won the 2003 Mercury Prize, following albums Showtime, Maths + English, and Tongue n' Cheek all continued Dizzee's musical domination.
Since Tongue n' Cheek in 2009, Dizzee has given us three more albums, The Fifth, Raskit and last Friday E3 AF.
Dizzee Rascal has also worked with a number of big names over the years. From Basement Jaxx to Arctic Monkeys, Calvin Harris and even Cheryl Cole.
I was lucky enough to see Dizzee Rascal early in his career live in Vancouver back in 2003/2004. His energy was electric and I will always remember that moment.
Today let's dance, shake it off and look to 2021, things are on the rise. Dylan Kwabena Mills can help provide that soundtrack. Until next week.
