Dizzee Rascal - Goin' Crazy (DJ Cable Remix)

So I recently cooked up a Trap remix for Dizzee Rascal's forthcoming single, which features Robbie Williams. Definitely had fun putting this one together...

Props to Mistajam for playing it all this week on his BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra shows too!

DJ Semtex x Dizzee Rascal - Interview from 2003 (Video)

The big homie DJ Semtex recently posted this up on his blog. It's an interview from his "Piece Keepers" DVD with Dizzee Rascal, which was released back in 2003.

Watching back, it's interesting to see how Dizzee has progressed over the past 7 to 8 years...It's crazy to think that it didn't seem that long ago when "Boy In Da Corner" was actually released... Time flies, eh?!

Dizzee Rascal & James Corden "Shout For England" (Video)

Dunno about the whole "Come and have a go..." line, but it's pretty catchy. However when it comes to football songs, nothing will ever top "3 Lions".

Anyhow, all proceeds go to charity, so be sure to cop it.

P.S. They should have let John Barnes spit a mean 16....Just saying...

Dizzee Rascal - Holiday Lover

Spotted this mashup on Hypemachine and was curious to see what it was. As it turns out, its a mashup of Dizzee's latest joint with Calvin Harris, "Holiday" and Prince's first chart success, "I Wanna Be Your Lover". The result is a 7+ minute funky, retro track which is actually a refreshing change from the original which is being drilled into my head by Radio 1, Kiss FM and far too many club DJs.

Cop it here and have a listen for yourself :)

Dizzee Rascal "Bonkers" (Music Video)

I have the feeling that this joint will be this year's "Day N Nite".

On the real, I wasn't too keen on the track at first, but I'm gradually warming to it...

Ben Drury x Dizzee Rascal Nike Air Max 90

The only pink sneakers I've owned were the Dunkles (which I resold for a hefty profit...Get in!), and some neapolitan Bapestas, which I only just broke out the other day after being put on ice for the best part of 18 months. Apart from that, I'm not much of a fan of pink garms. Well...I did own a salmon polo-shirt once, but then I realised I looked like a neek...Like one of those idiots you see in town, who most likely spends their Saturday nights @ Yates or Edwards, downing Stella and dancing like a twat to Ultrabeat. Or Akon. Ahem...

Anyhow, this new collaboration between Dizzee & British designer Ben Drury looks pretty hot. According to Drury, the sneakers feature premium materials and sport a clear sole...

No word on release date, or quantity as of yet...Although I'm hoping that it won't be some on "friends & family" ish.

Plastician Set - Invasion @ Matter (06/02/09) (Video)

Just got put on to this from Ben/Hotpoint @ Optic...Plastician featuring Dizzee Rascal, Newham Generals (D Double E & Footsie), Skepta & Jammer at Matter, which is owned by the peeps behind Fabric. Seriously, when was the last time you saw/heard a lineup like this?!

Seeing the top 5 emcees in the game perform together is big, but it's all about Dizzee, who completely murkalized the dance. Check the part where he spits "Stop Dat" over Caspa's "My Pet Monster". It's too much...Definitely one of those "wish I was there" moments...



More footage of Jammer & Skepta killing it...

BONUS! Speaking of Jammer, I had to post this up. The video gives me jokes every time.



EXTRA BONUS! Remember the Murkle Girl video? Apparently she went to my uni...



"Cos it's Laura/Blud I'm a rebel"

Dirtee Stank Podcast Vol. 1

The new Dirtee Stank podcast is up for grabs, featuring Dizzee, Newham Generals, and Setmex on the ones & twos...

Semtex says:

"Raw and uncut, it’s the first Dirtee Stank Podcast, it took a few takes but we got there in the end. There’s an interview with the Gens, some exclusives. Dizzee Rascal, The Newhan Gens, and Chrome go in hard on the mic, I’m on the decks. It’s hot!"

The 18 minute long freestyle is straight heat!

Dizzee Rascal Interview on Newsnight (Video)

So Jeremy Paxman, best known for going after Politicians on Newsnight, (and also presenting University Challenge) had Dizzee Rascal as guest on last night's show...

Whilst he can be entertaining when he goes in (pause) on certain guests....He gets the gasface though for asking Dizzee Rascal "Do you consider yourself to be British?"

This interview's recently been slammed on Facebook, with a lot people saying that Dizzee was a poor representation of black people in the UK, and that the BBC should have either got Lewis Hamilton, Bashy (who would have been an interesting interview), or a back politician instead...Ironically enough, a black politician was next to him on screen....

Dizzee wasn't the most eloquent interviewee, but at least he gave an honest answer, rather than long, drawn out amibiguous replies that most politicians who are invited on the show tend to give...To say he's a poor role model is an injustice, considering he's a platinum-selling artist, has achieved a UK no. 1 without major label backing, and has also done his fair share of chairty work too....

Spotted over at Semtex's blog

Dizzee Rascal & Semtex Take Over Australia (Video)

So Dizzee, along with Chrome and the big homie DJ Semtex just completed their recent tour of Australia...Their 3rd time this year! By the looks of things they smashed it....

P.S. Sem...I NEED that Pioneer mixer in my life man!

Dizzee Rascal hits No.1 in the UK Charts

Anyhow, with no major label involvment (and also 50,000 legal downloads) - he did it!

BONUS! Here's the music video.



Well done Dizzee!

Dizzee Rascal "Driving With Nowhere To Go" (Download)

I'd been trying to get hold of this joint for a while now. It's one of the few bonus tracks that featured on the US verison of "Maths + English", which was released back in April on Def Jux.

After finally copping it last week (it passed me by - whoops!) - I thought I'd share it with you lovely people....
