Dear Typophiles

I am puzzled by the origin of this font... I can't find it anywhere. Possibly a customade.

I seek your knowledge...

Thanx in advance.

Dizze Rascal: Boy In Da Corner

Oh...

An apart from having a great cover design, the Rascal is highly recomendable if your are in to that whole grimey-UK garage-hip to the hop-kind'a thang. The Boy is awesome *****

Has a Buro Destruct vibe to it.. But it's custom designed by Ben Drury of Mo'wax fame.


Thanx!

You need to check out "Showtime" as well... :-)


I always found his sound to be just too eccentric, too exhausting.. Then again I never really spent any time with the album. And I did warm up to The Streets eventually as well, so I'll give him another shot.. Thanks for the reminder! :-)


The first album "Original Pirate Material" is better.

Don't mug yourself!

I must say, it may be because he was hyped so much that
I was a bit underwhelmed when I finally got to listen to the
album. I think he's very good, don't misunderstand me, but
I don't feel it's the earth-shattering revolution in garage music
people claimed it was.
Killer album cover indeed. :-)


The type smells like Identikal or The Designer's Republic.
Isn't the design firm credited on the sleeve?


Ah, The Streets! Now that guy is worth the hype!
A Grand Don't Come For Free is by far the best and funniest
concept album I ever heard! Great stuff, both musical and lyrical.

Yes, but it's not a concept album. :-)
