Dizzee Rascal

Dizzee is widely praised for his 2003 debut, Boy in da Corner, released when the innovative MC and producer was only 18. The record won the U.K.'s prestigious Mercury Prize and remains the definitive grime full-length. In 2009, he returned with Tongue N' Cheek, which scored him four U.K. number one singles for "Bonkers" with Armand Van Helden, "Dance wiv Me" with Calvin Harris, "Holiday," and "Dirtee Disco." One year later, Dizzee Rascal won the Brit Award for Best British Male Artist, while a collaboration with Shakira for the single "Loca" saw him enter the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for the first time.
