\n\tBorn Dylan Mills, Dizzee Rascal remains one of the most influential artists to emerge from London\u2019s grime scene. His 2003 debut Boy in da Corner won the Mercury Prize, making him the youngest winner in the award\u2019s history at 19 and the second rapper to take the prize after Ms. Dynamite the year before. The album is widely regarded as one of grime\u2019s foundational texts. <\/p>\n

\n\tHis commercial peak came with 2009\u2019s Tongue n\u2019 Cheek, which produced four consecutive U.K. No. 1 singles \u2014 \u201cDance Wiv Me\u201d with Calvin Harris, \u201cBonkers\u201d with Armand Van Helden, \u201cHoliday\u201d and \u201cDirtee Disco\u201d \u2014 and was certified double platinum. His 2010 collaboration with Shakira, \u201cLoca,\u201d topped charts across Europe and peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. He was appointed MBE in 2020 for services to music.<\/p>\n

\n\tExample has built a near two-decade career as one of the U.K.\u2019s most consistent rap-dance crossover acts. Arrdee broke through via his verse on Russ Millions and Tion Wayne\u2019s U.K. No. 1 \u201cBody Remix,\u201d before his debut mixtape Pier Pressure reached No. 2 on the Official Albums Chart and No. 1 on the U.K. Streaming Chart.<\/p>\n
