Dizzee Rascal Preps Stateside Release, Tour With El-P

UK grime pioneer, Dizzee Rascal, is gearing up for a new album, his third, titled Maths & English, which is set to drop in April on Definitive Jux.

The date will mark its birth stateside, but the album has been out in the UK since June, garnering critical acclaim, including a Mercury Music Prize nomination.

It was, however, available only via iTunes in the U.S.

In support of the forthcoming release, Dizzee has announced that he will hit the road beginning in May with Def Jux boss, El-P, for a 12-date run.

The tour kicks off on May 8th in Washington D.C., before wrapping up at Los Angeles' El Rey on May 22.
