Tongue N Cheek - Dizzee Rascal

"Tongue 'N Cheek" was released in 2009 as Dizzee Rascal's fourth album. It finds the Grime pioneer moving on significantly from his past in that genre as he opts for more Pop and Dance-based material that enabled him to really find a place in the music game from which he could build with a greater fan base (as previous material was too far into the urban styles to let others in comfortably). Although all of his previous albums produced hit singles, the leading three were able to top the charts as he made such adaptations. 1. "Bonkers" The album starts with a banger of a track and the one that dropped as the second single to the ...  Read the complete review

TONGUE N CHEEK is the title of English rap star DIZZEE RASCAL's album. The album features 11 tracks. The opening song BONKERS is a really fun track. The dance beatis very lively and the lyrics focus on Dizzee's supposed crazy life. The chorus is really catchy with the repeated line of Bonkers that will stick in your head. ROAD RAGE is an energetic song with great lyrics. Dizzee's vocals are sharp and add vigour to the music. My favourite track on the album is DANCE WIV ME. With the support of Calvin Harris at the chorus this is a classic dance tune. The fast paced beat and the fantastic chorus will get you on the dance ...  Read the complete review

This is the fourth album from Dizzee Rascal and is far and away the most commercial album he has made, it reminds me a bit of how the Black Eyed Peas had to produce a very commercial album for their third release to ensure success and retain the record contract, well Dizzee has cashed in on the big festival successes he had over the summer and the massive hits that were Bonkers, Dance Wiz Me and Holiday. This is a very listenable album and while the title of the album may give a hint to whether or not you should take the lyrics very seriously or not there is the usual diet of sex, violence, drugs and money in the words to his songs. For me the ...  Read the complete review

As a 32 year old man who loves listening to Jazz and other such similar genres, and an avid fan of Radio 2, i find it strange to be sitting her writing a review of an album like this one from Dizzee Rascal, his fourth album to date! My first real experience of the artist was seeing him perform the first track, Bonkers, on a TV chat show - and watching it was quite a strange experience as it should have been everything i hate in music, but for some reason it stuck in my mind and i liked it. Soon after i was in my wifes car, she is younger than me and hasnt yet progressed to Radio 2, and was listening to the very annoying Chris Moyles show where they played ...  Read the complete review

Tongue N Cheek by Dizzee Rascal is an excellent from the British born rapper, songwriter and producer. Due to successful hits before the release of his album Dizzee has become commercially well known on the music seen with hits like 'Dance wiv me', Bonkers', 'Holiday' and more recently 'Dirtee Cash'. Dizzee's style of music is refreshing and incorporates his unique style of razor sharp lyrics. The songs are catchy, modern and Im sure this album will produce hit after hit for the man of the moment. Some fans maybe disappointed with the some of the songs on the album as they do not live up to the reputation of some of his recent hits ... but i think that is purely down to ...  Read the complete review
