AFA goes to: Dizzee Rascal
Dizzee Rascal is arguably the most acclaimed and influential artist on the London grime scene, as well as one of the most popular British rappers of all time. His debut album, ‘Boy in da Corner’, released when the innovative MC and producer was just 18, won the UK’s prestigious Mercury Prize and remains the benchmark album of the grime scene. Since then, Dizzee Rascal has risen to international stardom, working with the likes of Calvin Harris, Arctic Monkeys and Shakira, and reaching number one four times in the UK with his electro dance-flavored fourth album, ‘Tongue N’ Cheek’, released in 2009.
We’ll be meeting up with the group at Globe Aroma at 8 p.m.
