Dizzee Rascal opened up to the NME about teaming up with the Arctic Monkeys to record "Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend," the b-side set to appear on the "Brianstorm" single. Speaking about the recording process, he said:
"We recorded it a couple of months ago in London. They send me the track first and I wrote a verse for it. They came to London and I rapped the verse over what they had. We did it really quickly - in about half-an-hour."
Dizzee goes on to say he was impressed by the band, especially its frontman. "I'd definitely like to work with them again, especially Alex (Turner). He's a special guy. He knows all types of music - it goes beyond rock 'n' roll."
Dizzee Rascal will finally release his follow-up to 2004's Showtime, Maths and English, sometime later this year.
