Although 2004′s Boy In Da Corner was Dizzee’s most hyped album, it’s this April’s Def-Jux released Maths + English (previously a digital-only release) that really shows just how stylistically volatile and lyrically talented this grime artist/rapper’s game really is (check out “Where’s Da G’s” with UGK for the ultimate taste test). His 7-date US tour [...]
