Album Review: Dizzee Rascal Maths + English
8
Set for a physical US release in April (almost a year after its XL digital only release) on the indie rap label Def Jux, Dizzee’s third effing bangin’, critically acclaimed record Maths + English is “grime” at it’s best. More simply, it’s hip hop at it’s best. This record has a little bit of everything (including fellow Brits Arctic Monkeys and Lily Allen), and features eclectic, innovative beats, clever wordplay, and an East Ender accent that makes it so you can not mistake Dizzee Rascal for anyone else. Though Boy In Da Corner may still be my personal favorite, this is coming up from behind faster than the BPM on “Temptation.”
