Hip-hop’s man of the moment Dizzee Rascal is no stranger to collaborations. Having already teamed up with heavyweight producers like Calvin Harris and the mighty Armand Van Helden for some big tracks on his forthcoming Tongue n Cheek LP you’d think that the UK rapper would’ve had his collaboration quota met by now. But that’s not the case, with the rapper now revealing he’s secured the production gifts of the one and only Tiesto!
Although rumour of the Dizzee/Tiesto pairing began to creep out onto the internets recently, it’s since been confirmed by Dizzee Rascal himself, telling Drowned In Sound that he and Tiesto had collaborated on Tongue n Cheek’s final track, Bad Behaviour.
“[It’s] probably one where I’ve gone the hardest lyrically for a while. Not hard as in fuckin’ Mobb Deep hard, but I’m attacking the beat,” the feisty MC said in classic Dizzee style. “It’s proper up-tempo, bubbly, reminiscent of Boy In Da Corner. It’s a really big tune.”
Of course we already know that Tiesto is on a collaborative bent of late, what with his forthcoming Kaleidoscope LP featuring the vocal contributions of a swag of indie rock all-stars as well as Nelly Furtado and Sneaky Sound System, so it makes sense that the trance superstar would hook up with Dizzee.
