N-Dubz star Dappy has announced plans to launch a solo career.
The 23-year-old rapper said he was already working on his debut album, which is due to be released later this year.
"There's gonna be a Dappy solo album," he told the Daily Star. There's been N-Dubz and we've just done a massive arena tour, but the next thing is my solo album.
“It's gonna be a big thing full of mental chart smashes.”
Dappy said the album's first single 'No Regrets' would be released in September.
The announcement comes as Dappy's N-Dubz bandmate Tulisa has been confirmed as one of the judges on this year's UK edition of The X Factor.
