Dizzee Rascal-- "Showtime" out Sept 14
I'm nine tracks in (I don't know why we got it a day before release, but okay) and I gotta say that it's pretty great. Showtime still has a couple of his playstation sounds but everything is more smoothed out and, well, really pretty. I don't know how it measures against Boy in da Corner yet, but this one doesn't announce itself as Something Really Special-- probably because the songs don't really jump out of the speakers like "I Luv U", "Jezebel", "Stop Dat", and "Jus a Rascal." I need a little more time with it but considering how high he had to fall, I'm happy that he just landed on his feet.
