Although always the clear leader of the British grime scene, Dizzee Rascal is new to the amount of commercial success he has experienced recently. Two of the songs on 'Tongue n' Cheek' have topped the UK singles chart before the album has even been released, throwing Dizzee into the mainstream consciousness. Accordingly, 'Tongue n' Cheek' moves away from Dizzee's grime roots, embracing pop and dance music, however the razor-sharp lyrical ability and wit remain at the core of his sound.
