Dizzee Rascal reveals unexpected dream collaboration

UK star Dizzee Rascal has revealed that his dream collaboration of the moment would be with Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl

The 'Bonkers' hitmaker explained to The Sun newspaper that he's really familiar with his back catalogue and has "loved him since his Nirvana days":

"I'd like to to work with Kanye West and Andre 3000. But Dave Grohl is the one - I met him last year and he was really cool. I've loved him since his Nirvana days. I love the way he carries himself. He refused to live in the shadow of Nirvana. He's carved his own thing."

He added that working on rock music is simply "second nature" and feels that a working partnership with Grohl would be "really cool":

"I'd love to have him in the studio just to see how he views things. I've done rock with the Arctic Monkeys and it was just second nature. I'd love for Dave to produce a track, or just get his perspective and get some of the shit he knows. Next album, I'd love to."
