20 years of 'Boy In Da Corner': Dizzee Rascal announces deluxe album featuring unreleased music
Dizzee Rascal's iconic 'Boy In Da Corner' album is getting a new deluxe edition to mark its 20th anniversary.
Originally released July 21 2003, the 18-year-old rapper had little idea at the time that his debut album would go on to win the Mercury-Prize, become the first-ever platinum-selling UK rap album released, and lay the foundation for grime music's domination of UK pop culture.
XL Recordings will mark the 20th anniversary of Dizzee Rascal’s 'Boy In Da Corner' with the release of a two-volume deluxe edition that features 14 rare and previously unreleased tracks, alongside the original album.
'Street Fighter' is the first track from volume two of 'Boy In Da Corner (20th Anniversary Edition)' to be released. Dizzee Rascal’s 'Street Fighter' freestyle grew to be a legendary myth of the grime scene after it rippled through the airwaves of pirate radio and sound systems of the underground raves.
It was only available on a rare white label but now gets an official digital release.
Dropping exactly two decades after the original album, the deluxe edition lands July 21.
