Dizzee Rascal: There Won't Be A New Album For A While

Dizzee rascal has revealed that he won't be releasing any new material this year.

The rapper, whose last album was 2009's 'Tongue N Cheek', has said his fans may have to wait a while for the follow-up.

“There won’t be a new album from me for a while, until at least next year. I hope that doesn’t upset fans who wanted to hear something from me by the end of 2011,'' he told the Daily Star.

He added: “But it feels like I’ve released albums almost back-to-back since Boy In Da Corner. I want to live life for a bit, kick back, see things, do other things and recharge my batteries. I’m always writing lyrics but as for recording it, that’s on the back burner for now.”

Meanwhile, James Murphy, Four Tet and Dizzee Rascal have been added to the line-up for this year's Sonar festival in Barcelona.
