Tropes in da Corner:
- Face on the Cover: The cover of Boy in da Corner shows him hunched up in the corner of a yellow room.
- Gorn: The music video for "Couple of Stacks" features scenes such as a heart being brutally ripped out, woman beheaded with a cricket bat while her body still moves and a woman getting stabbed into vagina while jumping over her bed.
- Money Song: "Dirtee Cash" is a subversion, criticizing people who spend "money that they ain't made yet", running up large debts in the process, just so they can live the "high life". Its chorus samples the song "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)" by 90s dance act The Adventures of Stevie V, which plays the trope straight.
- Rated G for Gangsta: He started out making grime, and now he makes much more poppy, lighter music.
- Subverted Kids' Show: "Dream" is a spoof of British children's shows in the 50's, with a miniature Dizzee interacting with puppets atop a piano, presided over by a grandmotherly looking woman.
