East London-born music legend and all-round boundary-breaking innovator, Dizzee Rascal recently released his 7th studio album, entitled E3 AF via Island Records & Dirtee Stank Recordings

The album marks the genesis of a new era for Dizzee and is the first album wholly written, recorded, and produced in the UK in over a decade. ‘E3 AF’ is a 10-track layered, purposeful statement of intent, rooted in Dizzee’s inedible ties to both east London and Black British music’s legacy. His sound is sharper, stronger, and more self-assured than ever, and it is obvious that he has poured the creative energy of the past few years into ‘E3 AF’ as a body of work.

Along with the album release, from 30th October, Dizzee will provide his iconic voice to Waze, the everyday driving platform bringing drivers together to outsmart traffic, confirming Dizzee as a voice of London.

‘E3 AF’ confirms Dizzee’s status as an artist still very much in his prime, sonically it draws on the infectious pace of grime and resolutely forward-thinking UK Rap. From one song to the next, you are taken on a journey through Black British musical excellence. Ice-cold UK drill drips on Smoke Boys featuring ‘Act Like You Know’, produced by MK The Plug and Eastside pulses with pure grime courtesy of Chubby Dreadz and Platinum 45. Self-produced opener ‘God Knows’, featuring P Money, and high-octane ‘You Don’t Know’ pull from dubstep, grime, and drum ‘n’ bass while threatening to wreak havoc with your speakers. By the time Alicai Harley’s warm-up vocals float over sunny synths on the deeply personal ‘Energies + Powers’, produced by Steel Banglez, the album practically radiates heat.

Dizzee Rascal is a unique artist that has inspired many for multiple generations. From his 2003 debut album release, the Mercury Prize-winning ‘Boy In The Corner’ to date, Dizzee has continued to push expectations and boundaries. He is a British musical royalty. Every album that followed stacked up another marker of success. Between 2004 and 2017 all album releases blasted firmly into the Top 10 Official album chart, won awards, critical acclaim, and amassed Dizzee a huge following of devoted fans.

‘E3 AF’ is set to confirm Dizzee Rascal’s status as the master at the top of his game!
