DIZZEE RASCAL
Dylan Kwabena Mills born 1 October 1985, better known by his stage name Dizzee Rascal, is an English rapper, songwriter and record producer.[6] His music is a blend of garage, hip hop, grime, ragga, pop and electronic music, with eclectic samples and more exotic styles. Best known for his number-one hits "Dance wiv Me", "Bonkers", "Holiday", "Dirtee Disco" & "Shout", his debut album, Boy in da Corner, won him the 2003 Mercury Prize.
Mills' father died when he was young, and he was raised in Bow, in the East End of London, for most of his life in a single-parent family by his Ghanaian mother Priscilla, about whom he says: "I had issues as a kid. I was violent and disruptive. The way my mum helped was by finding me a different school every time I got kicked out, always fighting to keep me in the school system."

Overall all 3 acts, have the same 'badman' image which they are trying to portray to represent an image for their genre, as well as to gain an audience of the similar type. Especially teenage boys who think if they listen to this type of music, it instantly gives them the same image. This is what we are trying to portray with our star.
