From the depths of London’s vibrant grime scene, an iconic voice re-emerges. Dizzee Rascal, a pioneer and enduring figurehead of the genre, is back to disrupt the soundwaves once more. This time, he’s bringing fellow legends Jme and D Double E along for the ride.
Following a prolific 2023 that saw the 20-year celebration of his groundbreaking debut album, “Boy In Da Corner”, and the release of four fresh singles, Dizzee Rascal is back on the grind. His latest offering, a high-octane track titled “What You Know About That“, is a collaboration with grime veterans Jme and D Double E.
This hard-hitting single is the second to be unveiled from Dizzee’s forthcoming eighth studio album, “Don’t Take It Personal”. Following hot on the heels of the introspective “How Did I Get So Calm”, released in November, “What You Know About That” is a high-energy nod to the Dizzee of old. It’s a potent fusion of classic grime elements, punched up with a distinctly ravey vibe.
“This is the second single to be lifted from Dizzee’s forthcoming—eighth studio!—album, Don’t Take It Personal, following November’s “How Did I Get So Calm”.”
It’s not just Dizzee who’s been busy. Jme, a fellow grime legend and longtime collaborator, has also had a packed schedule. Not only does he feature on Dizzee’s latest track, but he’s also lent his talents to Manga Saint Hilare’s “Alarm Bells” with P Money, and House Of Pharaohs’ comeback banger, “New Era”, which he also produced.
