RASCAL TO TAKE HIATUS
London rapper DIZZEE RASCAL is going on hiatus until at least 2012 in a bid to "recharge his batteries" after a stellar couple of years.
The Bonkers hitmaker rose to fame in his native Britain after releasing his debut Boy In Da Corner in 2003, which was followed up by three more albums, including his latest chart-topping offering, 2009’s Tongue N’ Cheek.
But Rascal, real name Dylan Mills, has announced he’s set to take time off to enjoy his personal life.
He tells Britain’s Daily Star, "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. 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.
"I’ve had three (U.K.) number ones over the past couple of years and I don’t want to come down from there. When I come back with new tunes, they’ll be massive, radio-friendly and totally worth waiting for."
