D Double E used to be a member of the 187 Crew, with Jammer and Armour. The group were invited to join Nasty Crew, and they accepted apart from Jammer, who did join later after N.A.S.T.Y were in contact with a record company and he was approached to work on the production. After being one of the earliest members of Nasty Crew, Double left the collective due to disagreements, which are thought to revolve around the fact that D Double E used the prestigious Nasty Crew name to secure solo bookings. Double also left the crew with Footsie and Monkstarr, and these MCs, along with DJ Tubby established the grime collective the Newham Generals.
The Newham Generals are currently signed to the label Dirtee Stank, a label established by former grime MC Dizzee Rascal, and their debut album Generally Speaking is due for imminent release. The Newham Generals have a regular slot on the pirate radio station Rinse FM.

D Double E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
It's mree, mree
Yeah, yeah
Everybody knows what me and D do to verses
Walk in the stu', any beat, any speed
Just gimme somethin' to work with
Talk about clash
I don't know why I ever ask man, "Wagwan?"
'Cause I already know what the word is (Huh?)
Fake love got a big man like me flyin' 'round
With a tool in the car like I
Don't know what a bird is
International, bigger than the capital (Sets)
Now the guys at the label
They wanna talk when I see them
Talkin' about contracts
Must be talkin' Vodafone
Free calls on the weekend (Brrr)
I get ten shows tryna see three Ms (Brrr)
And I speak facts
Big Smoke, I get the cash in
Dash back to the dunya with the Gs dem (Nice)
It's a bittersweet symphony
They say, "An eye for an eye" (Smoke)
You die by the sword
Nah, you can't look for no sympathy
I get high so I can ease the pain
But still I could never
Touch ye like Kimberly (Never)
I got rich and still I kept my dignity
(Trust) all the old Gs fallin' off
See Skeppy and D Double
That's who they wish to be
Bigger than me, bigger than me
Bigger than me bigger than mree, mree
Me don dada with a capital D
Them man are nothin' like Skepta
Them man are nothin' like uh, uh
Think that you're sicker than me?
Had to sell my skeng, I'm too trigger happy
Never be sicker than D
Never be sicker than (Greaze)
Bigger than what? Bigger than me?
He's a fake gangsta with a lowercase G
Could never be sicker than
(Go on then, go on then)
Bud-a-bup-bup
I told my younger 'llow them skinny jeans
('Llow that) how you gonna put that big
MAC-10 inside them skinny jeans? (How?)
Draw for the ting and
Beat it, Michael Jackson, billie Jean
(Bop) do the ting then quickly fly
Out to the Philippines helicopter
Man gotta run 'cause the helicopter (yeah)
Under the bridge 'cause the helicopter (yeah)
Under the tree 'cause the helicopter (yeah)
Tried get away from the heat sensor
Man ah got good food, Marks and Spenser
(yeah)
And I got the heat with the red laser (Bop)
Under the old-school Moss blazer
Boydem wanna come with the handcuffs
The boydem wanna come with the taser
Get rid of that, I'm a eraser
(Quick, bud-a-bup-bup) life saver (yeah)
You're gonna need a fundraiser when
I start movin' like Hellraiser
Carry on thinkin' I'm a geezer
Pray to the Lord and Saviour
Bigger than me, bigger than me
Bigger than me bigger than mree, mree
Me don dada with a capital D
Them man are nothin' like Skepta
Them man are nothin' like uh, uh
Think that you're sicker than me?
Had to sell my skeng, I'm too trigger happy
Never be sicker than D
Never be sicker than (Greaze)
Bigger than what? Bigger than me?
He's a fake gangsta with a lowercase G
Could never be sicker than
(Go on then, go on then)
I come for the belly
Come for the radio, come for the telly
Come for the hardy, come for the smelly
Come for the bread and butter
Come for the jelly jamaican don dada
Grip gun, put you and your group down, shabba
Man and man are out here climbing ladder
Man and man are out here climbing, uh uh
