Watch The Video For Dizzee Rascal And Giggs’ “Nutcrackerz”
Check out the self-directed video for Dizzee’s new single.
Dizzee Rascal is back with another hot one, "Nutcrackerz," featuring a guest spot from Giggs and production from Heavytrackerz. It'll see release as a single on April 18 via Diz's Dirtee Stank label—and surprise surprise, the man himself also lensed the above clip for you to check out.
"I had been talking and swapping beats with Giggs for just under a year," Dizzee told FADER in an email. "Then recently, D Double E (legendary MC signed to my label Dirtee Stank Recordings and half of the Newham Generals) took me to the Heavytrackerz studio. I grabbed the beat and linked Giggs, who was feeling it. We had been catching a vibe from talking about what we were both up to around 2002 - we knew some of the same people, the spots we used to hangout/perform at....that became the theme for writing. A lot has changed in London since then too; the gentrification has taken over a lot of the places we grew up in and it wont ever be the same again. This track is important as it references a special time for me and the scene. This is dedicated to everyone who was around that time/era."
