Dizzee Rascal Records With Benji Madden

British rapper Dizzee Rascal has recruited Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden to give his new music a rock edge.

The ‘Bonkers hitmaker has been jetting between America and the UK since the summer to work on fresh material for his next album and rocker Madden insists fans will “love” the new musical direction.

Announcing the collaboration via Twitter.com, Madden writes, “Man just left @DizzeeRascal studio and he has some fire ready to go strictly for his fans. So cold man, Y’all r (sic) gonna love it.”

The upcoming album will be the follow-up to Rascal’s 2009 release, Tongue N’ Cheek.
