Dizzee Rascal completely tore up Camden’s Roundhouse yesterday with his big performance with a live band and the 16-piece Heritage Orchestra behind him at the BBC Electric Proms.

Huge set list as always and he graced the kinda stiff audience with several classics such as one of my fave Dizzee-tunes of all time: ‘Jezebel’. Another one of the tracks he performed was of course ‘Dirtee Cash’, the fourth single of his latest album “Tongue N’ Cheek” and it’s Dizzee’s own interpretation and twist of The Adventures Of Stevie V’s old smash hit ‘Dirty Cash (Money Talks)’ from 1990.

Definitely not my fave Dizzee-track sound wise (love the message in the lyrics thou) and even if it’s already racing up the charts I don’t think this will be the chart topper as the previous three single have been.

However, the video that premiered on 4Music & Channel 4 the day before yesterday is far more interesting. It was directed by Wiz of Factory Films, produced by Phil Tidy and shot by Tower Bridge in London based around the old classic British horror movie “The Wicker Man” from 1973, which is based on David Pinner’s novel “The Ritual”.

The story in the movie is about a Scottish police officer, Sergeant Neil Howie, visiting the isolated island of Summerisle to search for a missing girl whom the locals claim never existed. The inhabitants of Summerisle all celebrate a reconstructed form of Celtic paganism, which appals the devoutly Christian Sergeant.

Dizzee’s version is… well Dizzee’s version, press play and have a look for urself:
