E3 AF is the seventh studio album by English rapper Dizzee Rascal, released on 30 October 2020 by Dirtee Stank and Island Records.[14]

Background

[edit | edit source]

E3 AF is Rascal's first full-length album since 2017's Raskit.

Rascal announced the album on Instagram on 19 August 2020, stating:

"I've spent the last 3 years losing and finding myself in music and I've made something flawless. I made this album for YOU! I want you to play it at home, in your car or wherever you want but I want you to listen to it all the way through and you better have some BASS!! The link-ups are mad and I didn't come to play! You're welcome."[15]

The album's title refers to the "E3" postal code district where he grew up in Bow, East London, while "AF" stands for "African" referring to his West African heritage. The album title is a callback to a derogatory term Dizzee was called growing up in London: ‘E3 African’[15][16]

Shortly before the album's release, Rascal was scheduled to perform alongside Wiley, M Huncho, and The Streets at Utilita Live from the Drive In, a series of socially distanced drive-in concerts, which were cancelled due to reimposed COVID-19 lockdowns in Leicester, England.[17]
