Dizzee Rascal is hoping for another number one single after planning to release a second collaboration with Calvin Harris, taken from the new upcoming album Tongue N Cheek.
Their previous collaboration Dance Wiv Me spent four weeks at number one when it was released in June 2008.
Dizzee Rascal describes how their number one hit inspired the collaboration to happen for the second time, with Calvin Harris producing the song Holiday.
Calvin Harris sent Dizzee Rascal a few songs but only one of them stuck, which Dizzee Rascal put the lyrics to and believes this one will also get an amazing reception from music fans.
Holiday will be released as a single at the end of August, just before the new album Tongue N Cheek is released on September 7.
Tongue N Cheek will also feature the recent number one single Bonkers, which was a collaboration with Armand Van Helden.
Dizzee Rascal claims he was surprised Bonkers was a success, and got an even bigger reaction than Dance Wiv Me when played live for the first time, even thoughDance Wiv Me was number one at the time.
Dizzee Rascal fans can catch him in action in many summer festivals as well as his UK tour.
Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris will be at T4 On The Beach at Weston Super Mare Beach on July 19.
Dizzee Rascal will also appear at the V Festival taking place at the Chelmsford Hylands Park and Shifnal Weston Park (August 22-23), and Creamfields 2009 taking place at the Halton Daresbury Estate (August 29-30).
The Dizzee Rascal tour begins at the Edinburgh HMV Picture House (October 4) and will stop off at the Manchester Apollo (October 7) and the Birmingham O2 Academy (October 17) before drawing the tour to a close at the University of Lincoln Student Union Engine Shed (November 2).
