D Double E: Meet the MC | Documentary
Музыка
D Double E is the first artist in the opening season of our new series, Meet The MC.
Real name Darren Dixon, D Double E is UK rap royalty, once described by Skepta as the "greatest of all time".
A child of soundsystem culture; rap, reggae, jungle, grime, bashment... the entire lineage of Black British music can be found weaving its way through D Double E’s idiosyncratic sound. To trace the Newham MC back to his source is to track the history of soundsystem culture, right back to his parents’ record collection.
Although often hailed as a “grime OG”, D Double sees things differently. He’s long since outgrown any old parameters once attached to his music. In fact, his most recent album ‘D.O.N (Double Or Nothing)’ - as with the recent output of many of his contemporaries like Skepta, Ghetts and Jammer - draws on almost the entire UK musical spectrum, from rap to trap to drill, all blended into something indefinable and more fluid.
The winner of DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards Best Rap Album in 2020, ‘D.O.N (Double Or Nothing)’, also featured D Double’s first production credits on an album. Although he started producing in 2006, it was only after returning to beatmaking in 2018 that he decided to spit on his own beats. He made the beat for his own Meet The MC freestyle, which follows him speaking about his famous ad libs, pirate radio, growing up in east London and much more in a series of interviews filmed on location.
Meet the MC is our new DJ Mag Originals series, introducing the most vital artists in rap. Combining a freestyle series with in-depth fly-on-the-wall interviews, Meet the MC explores the stories of these crucial lyricists.
Celebrating an exciting time for the scene, each episode is filmed across multiple locations, ranging from childhood settings to studios, on-location video shoots and more, before culminating with an exclusive freestyle from each MC.

Thing with D Double is he's actually loveable, which isn't the norm in grime. He's crazy gifted, but still works hard at it; he's unique, but humble. Plus I swear he's a wizard.
d double e the goat.
Great video!! Double has been my favourite MC since I was 15...I'm now 32 and he's still my favourite MC! The man is an absolute legend
all the old classic clips in this will show why d double was top tier 1:43
glad double went the path he did with radio then albums n that later, that's why he's the best MC in the world
A legend from early!! One of the hardest grafters until present. We followed his career from the mid 90s until now and he deserves every ounce of respect he gets. BIG UP DON!!!
ICONIC!
that freestyle needs a release
The man and the octopus became brethrens... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favorite rapper right now.
Mygggg 🔥🔥💯💯🤫🤫💯💯💯
Like double said imagine them radio bars went towards projects would have made some classics but the real fans of uk music know he’s a don even without them just shows how good this guy is/was still relevant with a fan base 🔥

Look at the way he captivated the room when on the mic in sets/raves not many people can do that so if he had made albums at that time when he was heavy on sets and shows it would have blew up which is a shame but regardless he’s one of the goats for sure 🐐

@@currie_uk D Double E was a sick Jungle MC and the his wordplay back then was equally as good. Who remembers his lyrics about Designer Labels, "Galloping just like Polo, funky like Moschino, not V like Valentino...". The Reckless Crew era was sick.
Yes Yes dDoublEe it the original don from early the last two albums are 🔥🔥🔥 used to listen to freestyle on a tape an mini disc... Glad the scene is still buzzing hopefully I be still looking for my fav MC when I pick up my pension 🤣🤣💪
Proper good watch! The real goat! real humble guy 🔥

I never associated house or techno with aggression or other negative vibes, which is one thing I always loved about it. Even anti-establishment, revolutionary hiphop usually maintains a positive vibe while conveying a challenging message.
