Rizzle Kicks bag Dominic West for album cameo

Rap duo Rizzle Kicks have managed to snag a unique guest rapper for their upcoming album: actor Dominic West.

West, known for his role as detective Jimmy McNulty in acclaimed TV series The Wire, is lending his own rhymes to two tracks on Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule’s latest record, called ‘Roaring 20s’.

Jordan said: “When we’d finished watching The Wire it was almost like losing a close friend. Being able to have the star of the show on our record was definitely one of those ‘pinch myself’ moments.

“We’d mentioned to Ant about our love for The Wire and he said, ‘Yeah, we go way back. He lives round the corner. We should get him to do something on a track’.

“Having Dom in the studio was awesome. Not only did we have a proper laugh making the song, we were able to have some drinks, which was a good opportunity to get to know him and ask him a bucketload of questions.”

This isn’t Dominic West’s first collaboration with rappers however, having appeared in a skit on Eminem’s ‘Relapse’ album in 2009.
