Lethal Bizzle is set to release the second single to be taken from his forthcoming third album. “Going Out Tonight”, which has already received plays from Radio 1’s Zane, will be released on Sept 21st 09 on the Search and Destroy label, on CD, as well as a download bundle. Bizzle has also just announced 6 shows around the UK in October, in addition to his appearance at the Reading and Leeds festivals.
Quoted by the Guardian as the 'best known rapper in the indie scene', Lethal has been embraced by rock’s elite- working with Babyshambles and Gallows in the studio. His new album “Go Hard” will be released on 3, and includes work with producers Donaeo, Mark Ronson, Dexplicit, Youngstar and Gallows.
Lethal Bizzle is the most prolific, exciting rapper to emerge from the UK underground scene. Previously a member of More Fire Crew, and with a UK No. 7 chart hit 'Oi' under his belt, he formed his own Lethal Bizzle Records imprint in 2004. At the end of the year, he released the comeback single “Pow! (Forward),” also known as “Forward Riddim.” Produced by Dexplicit, which entered at 11 on the U.K. charts and earned him a MOBO award for Best Single (he was also nominated for Best Newcomer).
Bizzle was swiftly signed to V2 Music to release his solo grime debut album Against All Oddz, released in mid-2005. His next set of singles, including “Uh Oh! (I'm Back),” and “Fire” also made it onto the UK charts and paved the way for his solo debut, establishing him as one of the UK's most popular underground artists.
The Video for his last single “Go Hard” was the 9th most watched video on MTV online, – MTV also hosted a Lethal Bizzle day. Radio 1’s Maida Vale sessions will air a session from Bizzle on Wednesday 29th July.
