U.K.'s Own Dizzee Rascal Hits the Road w/ El-Producto
Dizzee Rascal Brings "Grime" Stateside, Tours with El-P
Dizzee Rascal – Maths + English (Definitive Jux)
Release Date: 04/29/08
Dizzee Rascal's "Where's Da G's" featuring Bun B. is already blowing up on the internet, weeks before the stateside release of the British MC's third full length, Math's + English, out April 29th via Definitive Jux. The album first hit shelves last year in the UK to a Mercury Music Prize nomination (think the UK's equivalent of independent music Grammys) and rave reviews from popular British press UNCUT, Mojo Magazine, and more. The US version will include several bonus tracks both digitally and physically, including tracks exclusive to iTunes, eMusic, and Amazon's digital store.
Dizzee Rascal has been turning heads on both sides of the pond since his 2003 debut album, Boy in Da Corner (which did snag the Mercury Music Prize that year and is lauded as the launching point for the UK grime scene). Since then he's released a second critically acclaimed album, popped up on a remix of T-Pain's hit single "I'm Sprung," held it down with Wyclef Jean, Twista, and Lil Mama on BET's Cipher for the 2007 Hip Hop Awards, and shared the stage with Bun B, Del the Funky Homosapien, Devin the Dude, and El-P at this year's SXSW Music Conference. Recently he's been feverishly showing off his skills with a four minute freestyle on AOL Music and schooling the uninitiated on British slang in anticipation of Maths + English's U.S. release and an impending tour with labelmate El-P.
See below for full tour dates and audio/video links to "Where's Da G's," Dizzee's 16 Bars freestyle, and his hip-hop slang lessons on AOL Music.
