Dizzee Rascal has premiered the video to his new single I Don’t Need A Reason.
Taken from the UK rapper’s forthcoming album The Fifth, available to preorder here, the video sees Dizzee within a period English setting, surrounded by harmems and banquets.

She said “I wrote it because I was sick of keeping all these feelings inside and not speaking up for myself, which caused a lot of resentment. Obviously I’ve been through a lot of therapy since my last record and that’s what this is about.”
