DIZZEE RASCAL
‘WOT U GONNA DO?’ OUT NOW
NEW ALBUM RASKIT OUT NOW
RASKIT UK HEADLINE TOUR
“Sitting there trying to write the same old song, trying to work out where it all went wrong
Wot u gonna do when your fans don’t care ‘cos they’re all grown up and they’ve all moved on?…
Wot u gonna do when it all goes sideways gotta work weekend shifts at MacD’s and you can’t party on a Friday?”
“The funny thing about that song is people are always asking me who it’s about, when it’s obvious it’s about me”, grins Dizzee.
Multi-platinum-selling, multiple-award winning hip hop star Dizzee Rascal drops the video for new track ‘Wot U Gonna Do? today. The second from his brand new album, RASKIT.
The track follows Dizzee’s triumphant return with Space and killer headline performance on the West Holts stage at Glastonbury last month.
RASKIT, Dizzee’s sixth album and first in four years teams precision-tooled beats from a stellar array of producers (Valentino Khan, Cardo and Paul Salva among them) with the sound of Britain’s finest MC - bar none, in a field of his own, champion of a league of one - “rapping my arse off”. The result is a spiralling sub-bass vortex of introspective jeep-beats which takes the man Jeremy Paxman called Mr Rascal right back to his roots, but with a hip-hop twist Jay-Z or E40 would be proud of.

“The idea of trying to be my 17 year old self again just because everyone thinks grime’s landed in their lap this week didn’t satisfy me”, Dizzee explains. “I wanted to use what I’ve learned to make the best rap album I could, with no hands in the air moments, just using as much English slang as I could over the best beats I could find”.
