TL;DR

Dizzee Rascal has announced his ninth studio album We Want Bass, a 15-track project due September 4 via Big Dirtee Records. The album channels influences from house, dubstep, speed garage, and bassline with a focus on dancefloor-ready production. Singles All Night and C U Dance precede the release, which will be supported by festival appearances and headline tours across the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

15 Tracks Across the Bass Spectrum

Dizzee Rascal has announced We Want Bass, his ninth studio album, arriving September 4 via Big Dirtee Records. The 15-track project channels sounds from across the dance music spectrum, weaving together influences from house, RnB, rap, dubstep, speed garage, and bassline. The album keeps its focus on club-ready production, giving Dizzee the space to move through bass-heavy sounds while keeping the sharp lyricism and hooks that have carried his career.

Singles and Standout Tracks

Among the album's highlights is latest single All Night, which finds Dizzee lyrically sharp and focused on making people move. Released on June 17 to coincide with England's opening match of the FIFA World Cup, Dizzee celebrated the single with a live performance at Boxpark Wembley. The release follows previous single C U Dance, also taken from the album. Both tracks tap into contemporary club culture while retaining the unmistakable lyrical sharpness and charisma that have long been central to Dizzee's music. Opening track Foxtrot Oscar starts the record with unapologetic quickfire one-liners and a high-tempo bassline beat.

Collaborations and Festival Run

The album announcement follows a prolific run of recent collaborations with some of the biggest names in drum and bass and bassline, including Bou, Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Denon Reed, and more. These partnerships underline Dizzee's versatility and continued influence across the UK's music scene, especially as he continues to move between rap, grime, bassline, drum and bass, and club music without losing the voice that made him one of the country's most recognizable artists.

This summer sees Dizzee return to stages across the UK, with appearances confirmed at Y Not Festival, Boardmasters, and Victorious Festival. He will then take We Want Bass around the world with headline tours across the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
