Dizzee Rascal: Tongue N' Cheek
“I DO it at my leisure, I make it sound easy,” boasts Dizzee on album number four, which finds the East London rapper and grime innovator thriving both commercially and artistically.
Yes, Tongue N’ Cheek is overflowing with bravado but Rascal rhymes with a sly wink and such infectious joy you’ve just got to hand it to him.
Chart-topping single Dance Wiv Me is tame against the funky onslaught of Dirtee Cash or Bonkers, a jaw-dropping piece of cut ’n’ paste grime that breaks the mould once again.
Backstage partying with Prince Harry is all well and good but business is business.
