Chart-topping rapper Dizzee Rascal has signed a deal to write his autobiography which promises to "lift the lid" on the troubled background of the Mercury Music Prize winner, who has had hits such as Dance Wiv Me and Bonkers.

It is a joint venture between Canongate Books and the the rapper’s record label Dirtee Stank Recordings. Dizzee, 24, grew up in east London and was excluded from four schools in as many years.
