Dizzee Rascal Reveals Second 'E3 AF' Single, "Act Like You Know" With Swift And Deepee Of Smoke Boys


September 21, 2020

Following on from "L.L.L.L" with Chip last month, Dizzee Rascal's back with Smoke Boys rhymers Deepee and Swift for "Act Like You Know".

Dizzee jumps in with typically potent bars, flexing his lyrical muscles as a reminder that his ability can never be questioned. Swift and Deepee then step in with perfect synergy, reminding us of what the South London collective brought to the scene during the mid-2010s.

MKThePlug's consistency must be applauded; here he combines with Vader Beats to create an instrumental that's bouncy and oozing with reverberating riffs, giving Dizzee, Swift and Deepee the perfect platform to dazzle with intricate wordplay.

The visuals from Mornix Lotion hit hard, complementing their bars with impressive distortions and transitions. The well-directed scenes of the three rappers in police line-ups are purposeful and powerful, playing on Black stereotypes within the British media.

"Act Like You Know" will be part of Dizzee Rascal's seventh studio album, E3 AF, when it drops October 9. The new LP is expected to pay homage to his Bow beginnings and reinforce his place in UK music folklore.
