I don’t think we should be too surprised that a combination of Dizzee Rascal, Robbie Williams, Andreas Nilsson and a song called Goin’ Crazy should result in a video that establishes its own parallel universe of nuttiness. Andreas comes into this having made his genre-screwing video for 2Chainz and Kanye West, and just finishing an [...]
Dizzee Rascal is back with a new anthem that’s going to rival Bonkers for levels of audience participation at future live shows – and in Megaforce’s video he adopts the perfect persona to perform Bassline Junkie.

Dizzee may be bonkers, but Popcore’s video for Dizzee’s Bonkers is delirious. Dizzee and pals party on a flatbed truck dressed in Chanel-style quilted padding as it bombs through Stockholm, captured by the ultimate fish-eye – an amazing overhead all-seeing 360º camera.
