Ibiza Rocks gets ready to Rap n Roll in an international stylee…Dizzee Rascal and The Streets join the 2008 line up along side Belgians SoulWax and DasPop, California's We are Scientists and Australia's Sam Sparro.

DIZZEE RASCAL

Dylan Mills (born 1985 in Bow, East London), known professionally as Dizzee Rascal, is an English rapper and record producer. His (largely self-composed) music is a blend of garage MCing, conventional rap, grime and ragga, with extremely eclectic samples and more exotic styles.

His debut album, Boy in da Corner, won him the 2003 Mercury Prize.

His music is an eclectic mixture of garage and hip-hop beats with an extremely broad palette of influences, ranging from metal guitars to found sounds, drill and bass synth lines, eclectic samples and even Japanese court music. Like most Grime artists, he utilizes "beats born of ringtones, video games and staticky pirate-radio sounds"

Rascal's music has also had a major impact on the youth of London. His success has broken barriers in terms of the United States and other countries collaborating in making a new era in Hip Hop music. Many teens growing up in London admire Rascal's determination to make societies and music improve.

Dizzee's third album Maths + English was released on June 4, 2007.

He released the single "Dance Wiv Me", featuring UK electro artist Calvin Harris, on July 7 2008. The track became Jo Whiley's Pet Sound for the week beginning June 2 2008. The single charted at Number 1 on download sales alone, a week before its physical release.
