Da Fifth

2013 sees the return of the UK music legend that is Dizzee Rascal. For his latest smash, Dizzee brings together a crack team of collaborators and experts to create a dynamite combination of tracks destined to hit the global jugular. With "The Fifth" he is taking a leap even further into the realms of crossover success.

'The Fifth' is the first album release from Dizzee since 2009's 'Tongue 'n Cheek' and for his new album he has flipped his own script, forsaking the familiar comforts of his South London studio for a walk on the wild side through the platinum disc-lined hallways of the best producers on the planet.

Looming large alongside notable contributions from Rihanna and Chris Brown veterans Warren Okay 'Oak' Felder and Andrew 'Pop' Wansell, not to mention Madonna's hook-scientist of choice Jean-Baptiste Kouame, are four tracks recorded with RedOne (the all-conquering Swedish/Moroccan production house that gave the world Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face', J-Lo's 'On The Floor' and Nicki Minaj's 'Starships' to name but three).

With musical backdrops ranging from dub-step to New York house and dancehall to moombahton, and a heavyweight cast of vocal and production cameos stretching from the kings of Houston Bun B and Trae tha Truth to up-and-coming British R&B star, Angel, via Will.i.am, Tinie Tempah, Calvin Harris, Jessie J and Robbie Williams, 'The Fifth' could hardly be making a bigger splash.

Dizzee's singles "Bonkers" & "Holiday" from his last album "Tongue & Cheek" are both certified NZ gold records. With countless accolades and industry awards under his belt including coveted Mercury Music Prize, Ivor Novello, Brit and most recently a landmark performance at the 2012 Olympics, Dizzee has proved he is one of the most successful British artists of all time.
