When then-17-year-old Dylan Mills first penned his seminal debut in 2003, he unknowingly birthed what would later become a near-biblical point of reference for countless lyricists. Dizzee Rascal’s Boy in da Corner served as an evocative and partially autobiographical social commentary on the quotidian unfoldings of inner-city London, an unabridged guide to air pie and STIs which formed the pillars of an entire genre: grime.

Although Dizzee’s talent first blossomed on rooftop clashes and pirate radio sets, mainstream audiences are more likely to recall the collaborations with Calvin Harris and Armand van Helden which propelled him to stardom. Yet, despite years of inactivity within the very genre he helped pioneer, Dizzee’s lyrics and flows are ever-present in grime culture. Look rigorously enough into the discography of any credible MC within the scene—take Skepta, Chip or Lethal Bizzle, for example—and there’s a high chance that you’ll hear a remixed or recycled Raskit bar escape their lips at some point.

Below, we offer an insight into nine of the album’s 15 tracks, and their undeniable legacy within the grime scene:

The album’s intricately-produced opener finds Dizzee observe the crimes and horrors taking place in the world around him. It received a new lease of life in 2014 after UK rapper Fekky teamed up with production duo Splurgeboys to transform it into the booming, ignorant anthem “Still Sittin’ Here.” The Fekky track features a guest verse from Dizzee himself, and was released through his label Dirtee Stank. It currently sits at a comfortable two million YouTube views, as does the all-star remix.

The self-proclaimed ‘godfather’ of grime, Wiley, also recorded over the “Sittin’ Here” instrumental back in 2004 alongside fellow MC Brazen. Their freestyle, which critiques capitalist society, appears on the Roll Deep mixtape Creeper Volume 2.

Perhaps the album’s most influential track, “Stop Dat” features Dizzee taunt his adversaries over a resonant bassline. Its opening lyric has been interpolated endlessly within the grime scene, making some high-profile appearances on songs by Ghetts, Chip and AJ Tracey among others.

The album’s throbbing lead single “I Luv U” has been described by Dizzee as “a mix of “What’s Your Fantasy?” by Ludacris and “Is That Yo Chick?” by JAY-Z”. It follows a call-and-response format, with Shystie assuming the role of an obsessively paranoid girlfriend and Dizzee defending himself against her accusations of disloyalty.

Fellow East Londoner Jammz was heavily inspired by the song and teamed up with garage legend DJ Q and vocalist Aleisha Lee this year to create the remarkably similar “Who’s That Girl?”. Roll Deep veteran Manga Saint Hilare has also interpolated “I Luv U” in recent months, as he highlighted in a Genius annotation:

Teaming up with Wiley over frenetic, pizzicato strings, this track finds Dizzee warn listeners that he’s at the end of his tether. Its most famous lyric, “I was hot-stepping in my Nike Air sneaker,“ comes courtesy of Wiley, and numerous variations on the line have been used by the likes of Scrufizzer, Ghetts and 67’s LD.

The song’s intro, which features a pitched-up voice shouting “I’m the fitness instructor,“ was infamously parodied by Lethal Bizzle on his 2014 single “Rari WorkOut.” The song went on to enter the UK Singles Chart at No. 11.

Serving as the album’s second single, “Fix Up, Look Sharp” has had a lasting impact on an international audience. Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli used the song’s chorus as the basis for their 2011 track “Fix Up.” Skepta also paid tribute on “Konnichiwa”, the title track from his 2016 album of the same name. The song continues to be referenced by “new school” MCs including Ten Dixon and YGG’s Saint P:

Believe it or not, Skepta’s 2016 hit “Man” rests upon the foundations laid by this song. The North London star based his menacing, Queens of the Stone Age-sampling anthem around Dizzee’s lyric “I socialise with the crew and the gang."

The album’s cheeky, introspective final single came back to haunt Dizzee when Crazy Titch and Durrty Goodz used the rock-based earworm as the basis for a diss track, “Jus’ An Arsehole.” The witty track has since been heralded as one of the strongest sends in grime history.

This song’s opening bars, “roll deep on these, put these MCs on deep freeze,“ are yet another unavoidable couplet within the grime scene. First heard on Dizzee’s freestyle over Danny Weed’s “Creeper” instrumental, they were recently incorporated into Stormzy’s 2017 album standout “Return of the Rucksack,” and have also been used by MIK and Bonkaz, among others.

On top of bringing the seldom-heard phrase “Live O” back into fashion, this song also managed to endure the test of time thanks to its lyric “I don’t wanna screw but nothing ain’t new.“ The memorable line was quoted repeatedly on Scrufizzer’s 2011 single “I Don’t Wanna Scru,” and also appeared last year on Ezro’s dark and brooding single “In the Manor.”

Boy in da Corner may be fourteen years old today, but its reign is far from over. Some MCs have even gone as far as writing entire songs in tribute to Dizzee’s golden age of grime, with Canada’s Tre Mission naming a track “Boy in the Corner” and South London up-and-comer Ten Dixon branding himself the “New Raskit.” One thing is clear: Dizzee might be marketing his new album as a return to the grime scene, but his spirit never left.
