The new Tongue 'N' Cheek LP by Dizzee Rascal blends old school hip hop and trip hop influences and lays them on top of boomin' drum and bass beats.
Vapors of Prince and Bob Marley pass by now and again along with memories of 70's funkmasters.
This is a release for fun-loving party people who like to live life with a heavy pulse.
Dizzee Rascal released the Tongue "N" Cheek LP on September 21 in the UK, It is not currently available on iTunes so I'm not sure if it's available in the US but CDNow.com seems to have some in stock.
The 11 track release has a strong flavor of Basement Jaxx mixed with Groove Armada. If you liked Wild Cherry, KC and the Sunshine Band or Groove is in the Heart by Dee Lite, you should like this just fine.
Track list includes:
1. Bonkers (Produced by Armand Van Helden)
2. Road Rage (Produced by Aaron Lacrate and Samir)
3. Dance Wiv Me (Produced by Calvin Harris and Cage)
4. Freaky Freaky (Produced by Cage)
5. Can't Tek No More (Produced by Shy FX)
6. Chillin' Wiv Da Man Dem (Produced by Cage)
