Step out through the streets. Nothing but grey concrete and deadbeats. Post-comedownclubbers making their way home to the monotony of another week on the dole.Fights breaking out down the local kebab shop. Geezers eyeing up the birds,holding their pints aloft and getting that little bit lairier. Sound familiar?Twelve months ago, we were told this was the sound of the streets. But althoughMike Skinner appropriated council block chic on the cover of 'OriginalPirate Material', his streets were as much Bromley as Brixton.DizzeeRascal., aka 18-year old Dylan Mills, charts a far bleaker world, where guns, drugs,violence and teenage pregnancy all feature prominently. This, you feel, is afar more desperate world than anything chronicled on 'Original Pirate Material'.'
Boy In Da Corner' begins with the loss of innocence. On opening track' Sittin' Here' Dizzee muses 'it was only yesterday we were playingfootball in the street? Only yesterday life was a bit more sweet, now I'msitting here thinking 'what happened?' ' over a gorgeous oriental-tingedmelody while tyres skid, sirens blare and gunshots echo in the faint background.It sounds incredible. Dizzee's main virtue is that he is both a great MC anda fantastic producer. This stuff sounds unlike anything you've ever heard before,but oddly familiar nonetheless.

Both Dizzee Rascal's music and message are wildly unpalatable, and the British record-buying public is not.
The first single, ' I Luv U' is a casein point - it's garage-rap, but not as we know it, revolving around a propulsive,slab heavy bassline, crashing minor-key synth stabs and frantic jarring beatsthat slap you round the face - you get the feeling that the Aphex Twin,never mind So.Solid Crew, would love to still be makingmusic as forward-looking and viscerally thrilling.Lyrically, 'I Luv U' is ' Billie Jean' relocated to a council estatein Bow. Except there's no ' Mama always told me' moral corehere; Dizzee has knocked up a 15-year old girl, then denied having anythingto do with the kid. In fact, he's more interested in who else she's been seeingbehind his back and what he's planning to do to him.
Crucially, though, hisrant is grounded by the presence of an anonymous female rapper who echoes hiswords, providing the alternative perspective and questioning how much of whatDizzee's says is to be interpreted literally. It's not the last time we'll bedriven to ask such questions.There are moments on 'Boy In Da Corner' that are even better.
The Billy Squire-sampling' Fix Up Look Sharp' bounds along on an irresistible stadium drumbeatwhile Dizzee boasts of ' flushing MCs down the loo'. 'Jus ARascal' kicks off with a cod-operatic chorus before launching into a rollercoasterof guitars and skittering beats over which Dizzee unleashes his most awe-inspiringintense flow - the sheer volume of words spewing forth puts most rappers toshame. And on ' Brand New Day' Dizzee manages to sound simultaneouslyhopeful and full of dread, while Eastern pentatonic chimes and bubbling synthsentwine to give the album its most unashamedly lovely moment.More problematic, however, is ' Jezebel', on which Dizzee tells the storyof a girl who sleeps around, spreads STDs and then gets herself pregnant. It'sthe flipside of 'I Luv U', only this time the female voice is absent. Dizzeehimself jumps between narrators, from leery but hypocritical blokes ('whereyou from hot stuff?
I really hope you're not a jezzie') to moralisticpreaching, pity and all-out contempt. Eventually, she gives birth to 'twomore of her, two more jezebels', tying into the pervading sense offutility throughout the record. The song concludes with the once-more-unnamedgirl 'wishing she could go back to the old school, and make better choicesoh what a fool? If only she was six years younger, damn', andyou feel the empathy I suspect Dizzee is trying to convey. But its deliveredin such a way that leaves a nasty taste in the mouth nonetheless. Thankfully,the presence of a lovely pizzicato string arrangement helps sweeten this bitterpill.' Jezebel' is 'Boy In Da Corner' in a nutshell.
There's very little that's shiedaway from here, which is what makes so alternately thrilling, poignant and disturbing.If Dizzee has a real, conscious voice, it's on the closing 'D o It' -this album's ' Stay Positive', on which 'Sittin Here's oriental chimesreappear, backing Dizzee's plaintive cry of ' no one understands us'and over which he offers the album's one moment of unfettered positivity.' Boy In Da Corner' may dwell on inner city decay, but Dizzee's explorationof these issues is a world away from Skinner's cartoonish geezerisms or thetiresome hectoring of Ms Dynamite.
It's an amoral universe, in some wayrefreshingly unjudgemental ('Queen Elizabeth don't know me. How canshe control me, when she lives neat and I live street?'
, he raps on' 2 For'), at other times frustratingly ambiguous and sometimes downrightunpleasant. But its also mad, joyful, tender, beautiful, funny, endlessly quotableand insanely danceable. And at a time when so much music is little more thana safe retread of comfortingly familiar territory, Dizzee's uncompromising visionis refreshing. Because quite frankly, if 2003 produces another record as ambitious,innovative, thought-provoking or just plain important as 'Boy In Da Corner',I'll be amazed.
