Dizzee Rascal has confirmed that he has no plans to take a break from the music industry.
The 23-year-old rapper revealed that he is following in the footsteps of Arctic Monkeys star Alex Turner by releasing as much material as possible in his younger years.
"I haven't seen much of Alex recently because he's so busy," Dizzee told the Daily Star. "He's got his hands full doing Arctic Monkeys, The Last Shadow Puppets and loads of other stuff.
"I admire that, it's cool. He's getting it all out while he's young. You've got to. It's inspiring and I totally relate to it. I'm following the same path."
The star also confirmed that he will soon start work on the follow-up to his 2007 album Maths + English.
"Hopefully the new album will be ready early next year. At the moment though I'm still putting material out from Maths + English," he explained. "I've never had an album campaign that's lasted so long. Normally I just do three singles and that's it."
'Dance Wiv Me', Dizzee's collaboration with Calvin Harris, is currently on top of the UK singles chart for a second week.
