Dizzee Rascal has revealed the video for his new single, 'Nutcrackerz', which features Giggs. Watch it below.
The track will be released in April via the rapper's own label Dirtee Stank Recordings. As its name suggests, it samples Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet The Nutcracker, which is presumably out of copyright. Perhaps Robin Thicke and Pharrell should use Russian ballets more in their music.
The song sees Dizzee continue his return towards his grime roots after the mainstream success of songs such as 'Bonkers' and 'Holiday'. Fellow British rapper Giggs gets as much airtime as Dizzee does. It's a shame about the last line though.

Speaking of the new song in a statement, Dizzee said, "A lot has changed in London since [2002], the gentrification has taken over a lot of the places we grew up in and it wont ever be the same again, this track is important as it references a special time for me and the scene. I wanted the video to reflect how much it's changed and also how much we have both grown as artists and men. This is dedicated to everyone who was around that time/era."
'Nutcrackerz' is official released on 18 April via Dirtee Stank Recordings.
