Scoring a big hit around the world with his latest track, the effervescent “Bonkers”, British grime star Dizzee Rascal (aka Dylan Mills) reckons his upcoming fourth LP, Tongue N Cheek, is “naughty but nice”.

Due out later in 2009, Dizzee says his new disc is just “me being a bit cheeky, the theme of it is naughty but nice. Just celebrating the good things in life,” he confessed to the BBC. Due to make his solo debut at the Glastonbury festival later this month, Rascal says the big crowd is pretty daunting. “Seeing 80,000 laid out in front of you, that’s amazing.”

Dizzee’s slot on the 2009 Big Day Out down in Australia also paid off for the Mercury Music Prize winning 25-year-old, who was later asked by fellow beatsmiths the Prodigy to support them on their UK tour. Rascal says he hopes to collaborate with the Prodigy later this year, and insists his new LP will following a more mainstream pop direction than earlier releases.
