Notes
"This print features the one and only Dizzee Rascal, the unique young Grime pioneer who’s music inspired so many and really changed things up. The shoot took place on a London rooftop at the crucial moment when Dizzee was breaking through, 2003. The building we shot on no longer exists, it was cleared for Crossrail."
"My work sits at the intersection of music, fashion and culture. Working with Dizzee was not only an honour and a pleasure but good fun too.
I’d photographed Dizzee for his album Boy In Da Corner, working alongside the great art director Ben Drury for XL Recordings, it was good to catch up with Dizzee again for this press session as it was for all the shoots we did for the NME around the time…I still remember this sunny day like it was yesterday…It was a remarkable time!"
