Dizzee Rascal inspired by Arctic Monkeys

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:56:49 +1000

Dizzee Rascal has spoken on the great inspiration he takes from Arctic Monkeys’ work ethic.

Rapper Dizzee, real-name Dylan Mills, says that he is following in frontman Alex Turner’s footsteps by "getting it all out while he’s young".

He told the Daily Star: "I haven’t seen much of Alex recently because he’s so busy. He’s got his hands full doing Arctic Monkeys and The Last Shadow Puppets and loads of other stuff."

He said: "I admire that, it’s cool. He’s getting it all out while he’s young. You’ve got to. It’s inspiring and I totally relate to it. I’m following the same path."

Dizzee also revealed that he loves that his music has become more popular, because now mums like him!

He explained: "It’s great being an artist today. You feel like you can do what you want. What I’m doing with mash-ups and collaborations has become mainstream. People’s mums are into me these days and everything."
