Almost a full year after its UK release, Dizzee Rascal’s Maths + English will finally get a proper release in the US. Of course, the album had more UK appeal, from Dizzee’s dialect to his collaborations with other UK artists Lily Allen and the Arctic Monkeys. That might be why it was nominated for a Mercury Prize and a MOBO in the UK but received little recognition across the pond. But the album also features a collaboration with Underground Kingz Pimp C and Bun B on the track “Where’s Da G’s”, so it should do well in the States too.
Lucky for us, El-P digs the album too and as co-founder of Definitive Jux, he can give it quite a bump. First El-P gave “Where’s Da G’s” a remix treatment and then signed Dizzee to Def Jux for the physical release of Maths + English in the States. El-P’s remix is included with the re-issue along with bonus tracks “G.H.E.T.T.O” and “Driving.”
The improved Maths + English hits April 29th via Definitive Jux.
