Dylan Mills, known professionally as Dizzee Rascal, is a solo artist who came up in the U.K. Garage/Grime music scene.

Dizzee Rascal's debut album, "Boy In Da Corner" was released when he was just 18 years old and made him one of the U.K.'s most prominent music subjects and won him the country's Mercury Prize.

That album received a U.S. release date in January of 2004 and he became more of an underground sensation stateside. In September of 2004, Dizzee released "Showtime Worldwide", followed by "Maths and English" in 2007.

Between the release of the two albums, Dizzee has also started a label for younger talent called Dirtee Stank Recordings.

Songs performed: "Where's The G's" and "Sirens."
