Dizzee Rascal's Maths to hit U.S. in April :: Music News :: Articles

Although Dizzee Rascal's third album, Maths+English, has been available for several months online, the CD and digital formats of the 2007 Mercury Music Prize winner will be making their way stateside April 29, with the help of Definitive Jux.

Those who have already downloaded the U.K. version of the album take note: this version not only includes all 14 original tracks, which feature British music mainstays Lily Allen and Alex Turner (of Arctic Monkeys), but also includes two new studio tracks, as well as a remix of the song "Where's Da G's," by former Company Flow MC El-P.

But Dizzee (née Dylan Mills) hasn't just been busy in the studio. He's also been hard at work planning a collaboration with Scottish electroclash artist Calvin Harris, several upcoming tour dates in his home country, and his future progeny. It seems the 22-year-old hip-hop revolutionary plans to keep himself quite busy in the near future, and not just in the studio. (Wink, wink.)
