Dylan Kwabena Mills (born 1 October 1985 in Bow, London), better known by his stage name Dizzee Rascal, is a British rapper, songwriter and record producer of Ghanaian and Nigerian descent. His music is a blend of garage MCing, conventional rap, grime, ragga, and electronic music, with extremely eclectic samples and more exotic styles. Best known for his number-one hits "Dance Wiv Me", "Bonkers" and "Holiday", his debut album, Boy in da Corner, won him the 2003 Mercury Prize. Follow-up albums Showtime, Maths + English and Tongue N' Cheek have all been critically acclaimed and certified gold.
