Dizzee Rascal releasing autobiography

Illustrated hardback will be out in October

Dizzee Rascal was named Best British Male at last month's Brits

Dizzee Rascal is working on an autobiography.

The rapper, real name Dylan Kwabena Mills, will co-write the illustrated hardback with music journalist Ben Thompson.

It will be published in October by Canongate Books and Dirtee Books, a new arm of his Dirtee Stank Recordings label.

‘The Dizzee Rascal Story will provide a much more intimate insight into the real story behind the charismatic young artist,' a Canongate spokeswoman tells the BBC.

Dizzee, 24, will recount his tough upbringing in Bow, east London, and the time he was stabbed in Cyprus.
