On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in July on the 21st July 2017. It is Dizzee's sixth studio album called "Raskit".
Dizzee Rascal is a British Grime artist who I have been a fan of for a long time. I first discovered Dizzee from his fourth album "Tongue N Cheek" which had fantastic tracks such as "Bonkers", "Dirtee Cash", "Holiday" and "Leisure". Dizzee has released six albums. His first album "Boy In Da Corner" which is my personal favourite won the mercury prize 2003. Dizzee was one of the first grime artists to win a mercury. This was one of the albums that changed UK with its grime scene it was deftinley well deserved for a mercury. Such a fantastic debut album with fantastic tracks such as "I Luv U", "Sittin Here", "2 Far", "Jezebel", "Just A Rascal", and "Fix Up Look Sharp". In Dizzee Second album "Showtime" is another great album with different elements of sounds on this album. The track "Stand Up Tall is just so good I love how the production is so different to other tracks on "Showtime". In Dizzee's third album "Maths And English" which was nominated for the mercury prize back in 2007 which was his last grime album before going to pop. In 2009 Dizzee released his fourth album "Tongue N Cheek" an interesting move from grime to pop but its still an okay album. In 2013 Dizzee released his fifth studio album called "The Fifth" which was another Pop rap album which was my least favourite. 4 years later Dizzee is back and finally he is back with a grime album. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? This is just a fantastic album I am Glad that Dizzee respected what the fans wanted which was another grime album. As a fan of Dizzee I really wanted him to make another fantastic grime album and I felt really excited on the day when "Raskit" was released. This album is just fantastic the tracks are just too good. I feel annoyed when people criticise Dizzee he does not deserve to be criticized. He deserves to be praised for a fantastic career he has had over the last 14 years.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Wot U Gonna Do", "Space", "The Other Side", "Make It Last", "Bop N Keep It Dippin", "She Knows What She Wants", and "Man Of The Hour". Starting off with "Wot U Gonna Do" which was one of the tracks released before the release date for "Raskit". Dizzee flow is hard on this track his lyrics are just too good. "Space" Another interesting with decent production Dizzee flow is just too good on this track. "The Other Side" which is my third favourite track on this album. Despite I am not to keen on the production still a great track. "Make It Last" the production sounds bit aggressive but its still a decent track. "Bop N Keep It Dippin" this track is my second favourite. Its a catchy track I often come back and listen to this track on repeat. "She Knows What She Wants"Another interesting track of Dizzee rapping about what a girl wants. "Man Of The Hour" which is my personal favourite on this album such a fantastic track such a great track to the end a great album. My least favourite track was a track called "Sick A Dis" just didnt think that this was the strongest on the album its a decent track.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this album I thought it was fantastic. I would defintley listen to it again. Its a 9/10
