Review: Dizzee Rascal - Dirtee Cash (Money Talks)

My incessent playing of Dizzee Rascal's new tune must have, in some way, mystically aligned my earphones to Stevie V's 1990 synth explosion of a backing track. It arouses in me an acid house romantacism that has hibernated in an Ikea clad cave throughout these noughty years. I'm sure if you listen hard enough you can hear the echoes of Hacienda ravers bitter in their sentiments, proclaiming 'eere y'are it isn't what it once was'. Dizzee's political take on the sampled original completely refreshes the old school track, and it's released aptly in a time when people are screaming out for a bit of that dirty yet life-affirming cash. The natural burst of nostalgia that seeps into one's thought processes stems from an imperceptible blend of a mother of a house track with Dizzee's recession based rap. It's obvious that dance floors across the country are going to lap this one up. Big up the Dizz.
