This was the set I’d been waiting for
since childhood. Dizzee Rascal rocked up, sent me bonkers and left, without
evening offering to ‘Dance Wiv Me’, the cheeky fucker. Starting with old skool
bangers “Fix Up Look Sharp” and “Stop Dat”, he wasted no time in playing the
songs everyone came to see. Seeing these songs live, you got the sense you were
witnessing something quite special. A pioneer of British rap music, the guy is
a living legend. He masterminded a particularly bouncy crowd, with his hits
sending everyone absolutely fuckin’ mental. It was a perfect journey through
the discography of an East Londoner, who expressed the importance to him of
playing on a stage in a park that he and his mum used to visit together, when he
was just a boy in da corner.
