izzee Rascal’s new record will benefit from a global push that “only a major label can bring”,
according to the rapper’s team at his own Dirtee Stank label, which has signed a JV with Island Records to bring The Fifth to market.
The album is the first to be released since the London rapper signed a multi- million pound worldwide deal with Island parent Universal. Released on September 30, it features a

wealth of collaborations including the likes of Jessie J, Robbie Williams,
will.i.am, Tinie Tempah and Calvin Harris, whilst production comes from Warren Okay ‘Oak’ Felder and Andrew ‘Pop’ Wansell, Jean-Baptiste Kouame and RedOne. Dizzee’s past four albums have been released independently, either on XL or through self-release. “[Team Dizzee] have done a stellar job independently so it wasn’t an easy task for us to go and take them out of somewhere they were completely comfortable and successful,” said Darcus Beese, president of Island Records. “We knew that if we did that, we had to deliver for them and that’s about building on the success here in the UK but also building success internationally. “This campaign deserves to be platinum-plus. The strength of the songs, the features - it’s not a UK-centric record, it’s a record that can travel.” Promotional plans for the album include a TV advert and billboard promotions around London and its underground tube network. Long-serving Dizzee manager Nick
Detnon, aka Cage, told Music Week he was hoping for a “significant upturn in sales” for The Fifth. “We’ve taken Dirtee Stank as far as it
can go [independently] – a platinum album, loads of No.1 [singles] and all the rest of it,” he said. “We’re looking for Island to build on what we’ve done and to sell considerably more. “I’m looking for a significant upturn in UK sales and a very synchronised European and worldwide campaign – that’s something that only a major can really do.” It’s been a decade since the release of
Dizzee’s debut LP Boy In Da Corner on XL Recordings. The rapper has released
“On the strength of the songs and features, this campaign deserves to be platinum-
plus. It’s not a UK-centric record, it’s a record that can travel” DARCUS BEESE, ISLAND RECORDS
three albums since, including the self- released Tongue ‘N’ Cheek, which spawned five UK No.1’s and was honoured by the Official Charts Company last year. Discussing the Island JV, which is
described as “a multi-layered deal,” with Universal marketing and distribution for Dirtee Stank releases, Beese said international success would be the focus. “Whether it’s Australia, America,
France or Germany, there are pockets of Dizzee fans worldwide and it’s our job to grow that,” he said. “I couldn’t have gotten involved with
Dizzee, Dirtee Stank and Cage if my ambition wasn’t matching their ambition stride-for-stride. I’m just happy and honored that the young man from Bow is 10 years down the line and I’ve managed - along with the Universal crew - to be involved with him.” The Fifth will be available as a 16-
track deluxe edition and a 12-track standard release. Dizzee played a number of festivals this summer including his fourth appearance at Glastonbury.
