Dizzee began MCing on pirate radio and at raves at fifteen, but since his mainstream success he has distanced himself from the fledgling scene.Rascal
grew up in the East End of London in south Bow in a council estate, raised by his single mother, a Ghanaian immigrant. Little is knownabout his father,
though it is thought that he died when Mills was two. He attributes his musical development to a school teacher who allowedhim to skip regular classes
and spend time working on music on the school computers.
His music is an eclectic mixture of garage and hip-hop beats with an extremely broad palette of influences, ranging from metal guitars to foundsounds,
drill and bass synth lines, eclectic samples and even Japanese court music. His vocal performance is also distinctive, he uses a fastversion of rapping
(known as āspittingā) which blends elements from garage MCing, conventional rap, grime and ragga.
Dizzee Rascal has numerous rivals within the Grime scene, mainly from the Bow, East London area. A notable rival of Dizzee Rascal is CrazyTitch who
produced and recorded a diss called āJust An Arseholeā which used the backing track of Dizzeeās record of āJus A Rascalā. « hide |
