What do you do when you've scored a number one hit by collaborating with Calvin Harris? Well you could team-up with the 'Ready For The Weekend' star for a second time, to ensure you get another chart-topping hit to your name - and that's exactly what 'Bonkers' rapper Dizzee Rascal has done on his new single 'Holiday'.
With each single since 2007's 'Maths + English', Rascal has ventured further and further away from the gritty underground of debut album 'Boy In Da Corner'. As some may accuse him of "selling out", you can't deny he knows exactly how to make an infectious tune to get 30,000 ravers going crazy at a festival - and 'Holiday' does just that.
More hard-hitting than their last partnership ('Dance Wiv Me'), the summer-themed 'Holiday' is built purely for the club scene and those Ibiza ravers this party season. Over booming beats and trancey synths, Dizzee isn't trying to reinvent the wheel here, he's just making the kind of adrenaline-rushed, hedonistic-fuelled music to get lost in on the dancefloor.
