  Jus a Rascal

--- - |- Man, do I ever feel bad for the dude who turns 19 on August 7. The second-ever Underage Festival goes down August 8 in London's Victoria Park, and if you've ever blown 19 candles off your birthday cake, you're pretty much shit outta luck. See, many of the Underage organizers are kids themselves, and, sick and tired of being barred from shows for not being old enough, they decided to m...

Dizzee Rascal is back, although I am sure many people here in the states might not have even realized its been 3 years since his last release. Once dubbed as the next big thing, Dizzee seems to have flown under the radar for the last few years. When his first album dropped in 2004, he became the poster boy for the U.K.'s grime movement. People wanted more, yet got the same when he released "Sho...

Dizzee Rascal just turned 25 and already has three #1 hit tunes under his belt. The source of those hits is his new album, Tongue N Cheek, which just dropped on his own label Dirtee Stank. It's been awhile since I posted anything about Dizzee, UK's 1st grime mc to go mainstream, so here's what he's up to these days...Freestylin on Tim Westwood's BBC radio show:A juicy interview with Tim Westw...

Dizzee's new video is spectacular! It's so funky, so catchy and so charming. Not only because Dizzee finally let's his sweetheart side be seen (for the ladies, natch), but also coz it features UK's heartthrob-worthy gentlemen Calvin Harris and Chrome! Harris sings the chorus with laid-back smoothness and Dizzee uses lines on the ladies that would never work in real life (all he has to do in ...

The grime scene is fierce and brutal, even towards its most talented players. Amongst longtime fans, Dizzee Rascal's name has become synonymous with "sell out" since signing a deal with XL in the U.K. last year. Next thing we know, Dizzee's face is everywhere; he's appearing on TV, touring around the world, etc., while his mates are still struggling in the streets and small studios in London....

So says Semtex…So we were at the Rockness Festival, Scotland this weekend. 26,000 ravers on the shores of Loch Ness. We were on the main stage, and the crowd were moshing too hard, a couple of people couldn’t handle it at the front and had to be pulled out of the crowd by the security/medic [...]

Dizzee Rascal, the #1 entertainer in the UK right now, was just added to the extraordinary Ibiza Rocks lineup. The loveable grime star is scheduled to perform on 29 July at San Rafael Hippodrome on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza. This fits perfectly with his vow to party every night that his song is in the #1 spot! Chances are, if you live somewhere conveniently close to the Spain-ish isl...

Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris performed their beautiful new tune "Dance Wiv Me" in a magical mushroom-filled wonderland at Glastonbury last weekend. And, in a surprise twist, the band played it acoustically! The unamplified music really enhanced Diz's and Calvin's lovely voices. Officially my fave video of the week - and all of July so far - check it out:Dizzee effortlessly incorporates li...
