Rudimental: 'Ed Sheeran is a sick rapper'

Rudimental have praised Ed Sheeran's ability as a rapper.

The British singer-songwriter is best-known for his acoustic musings, but he occasionally strays into rap.

Speaking to Capital FM at the iTunes Festival this weekend, Rudimental said that they have been impressed by Sheeran's rhyme-spitting skills whilst touring with him in the US in August and September.

They said: "It's been an amazing experience, especially supporting Ed. He's been amazing out there.

"He's been jumping on some of our DJ sets. He's rapping! So, after every live show, we've got a DJ set and he's been jumping on and he's been hitting us up with Dr. Dre lyrics, grime lyrics. He's amazing at rapping. He's a sick rapper. He's well known for it. He's good at free styling . It's one of his strengths. He came out to a few of our DJ sets and some of his lyrics are quite dirty."

Speaking meanwhile about a collaboration they have recorded with Sheeran, Rudimental added:

"We haven't done a rap record with him [but] we've done a song with him. I guess you've got to get things right and we've perfectionists. We just want to make sure it's right and obviously we're finished the album as well, so it's about getting the whole thing in place."
