St. Paul, Minn. — Dylan Mills, known professionally as Dizzee Rascal, is a solo artist who came up in the U.K. Garage/Grime music scene.

Dizzee Rascal's debut album, "Boy In Da Corner" was released when he was just 18 years old and made him one of the U.K.'s most prominent music subjects and won him the country's Mercury Prize.
