The best things about “Bonkers”: The noisy transition between the song’s first section and its second, the heavy bass in said second part, and the fact that Dizzee Rascal dresses up like a shark in the official video. He does a wardrobe change for each part of the sliced and diced track, which features the heavy bass house production of Armand Van Helden, but the shark is the most bonkers. (Last time we checked in, it was Calvin Harris with the assist.) The song’s the first single from the forthcoming Tongue ‘n’ Cheek.

“Bonkers” is out 5/18 via XL. Tongue ‘n’ Cheek is out sometime after that, also via XL.
