Tinie Tempah reveals new album boasts collaborations with Pharrell and Dizzee Rascal

London based rapper Tinie Tempah is set to unveil his highly anticipated sophomore album, 'Demonstration', later this year and revealed that it boasts some impressive duets.

Speaking to the NME about the exciting new offering, the 'Pass Out' hitmaker explained that working with one of his idols, namely Dizzee Rascal, was an incredible experience: "To finally be able to do a track with Dizzee, sounding the way I used to hear him, is f***ing amazing."

He went on to confess that the record also includes a collaboration with superstar Pharrell Williams and recalled their first in-studio meeting, which he described as being less than desirable: "The first day I went into his studio I was really run down. Pharrell had Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' on a massive projector, head down working. I walked in and was, like, 'F**k, this is Pharrell and I'm so tired and I look like s**t."

Referring to the track they worked on together, Tinie teased: "it's not what you would expect at all – it's Pharrell's take on dubstep, all dark and grimy and crazy."

The album's lead single, 'Trampoline', which features 2 Chainz, will be released on August 4.
