Dizzee Rascal – I Luv U (Remix Feat Wiley & Sharkey Major) 2003

For some reason the remix to Dizzee’s debut single wasn’t included on his first album. I can’t think of a good reason. It’s not even available on iTunes…

Surely the strongest lineup on any grime track ever; Dizzee, Wiley and Sharkey Major all kick very different takes on not loving. Not loving being the only thing worth writing songs about after all. The chorus is that overheard-on-a-bus-soul-music they you need in your life cos you tell people you’ll ring them back when you’re on the bus.

It’s one of his best tracks and the beat is even crazier than the original “I Luv U”, yet it got kind of overlooked in all the album hype when it should have been the star of the show. This and “Brand New Day”.
