Dizzee Rascal has set a June 4 UK release date for Maths & English, which will come out on XL and Dizzee's own Dirtee Stank label. June 4 also happens to be the release date of fellow grime MC/Dizzee nemesis Wiley's new one, Playtime Is Over.

According to Dazeddigital.com, the previously reported Joss Stone track was scrapped (whew!), but Maths & English still features Lily Allen on "Might As Well Quit". Other collaborators include UGK ("Where Da G's"), the Arctic Monkeys ("Temptation"), and Newham Generals ("Lemon"). Maths features production from Dizzee's manager and long-time collaborator Cage, Future Trax, and Shy FX, who produced "Da Feelin", "Industry", and "World's Gone Crazy".

In addition to "Pussy'ole", Dazeddigital.com also has the names of a few of Maths' raunchier numbers: "Suck My Dick", "stripper anthem" "Flex", and "Bubbles", which covers tried-and-true hip hop themes "money, gash, and champagne."

Maths' first single, "Sirens", will debut on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show tonight, with a release planned for May 21. Director Wiz is responsible for the song's video.

Dizzee will play several European festivals this summer, but his first show is a club date in Porto, Portugal on April 14.
