The salient points


  • Dizzee Rascal was a bit of a 'tearaway' as a teenager and was expelled from four different schools. Four!

  • His debut album, 'Boy In Da Corner' won the 2003 Mercury Music Prize and everyone in the industry loved him, but that didn't really translate to sales largely due to lack of tunes.

  • Still, this is very much amazing.

  • In 2009, Dizzee got a bit bored with being 'respected' and 'authentic' and teamed up with Calvin Harris for the ludicrously incredible 'Dance Wiv Me'. It went to Number One in the UK.

  • The subsequent album, 'Tongue 'N Cheek', featured a further three Number One singles and Dizzee won Best Male at the 2010 Brit awards. Hurrah.

  • It all went a bit quiet after that, although let's not forget the 'No Diggity' / 'Shout' World Cup Cordenized 'mashup' 'thing' Dizzee did for Simon Cowell. YES THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
