"Dappy's on there and Labrinth's done 'Love Drunk'," he said.

"We've also got a newcomer on the album as well – someone that I'm really happy about. On the tour we felt it was only right that we got Wretch 32 on the album for one of the songs, so I'm really excited about that.

He added: "I haven't heard it as yet, I haven't heard what he's done, but I'm really looking forward to hearing it. It should be really cool."

'Identity' is currently scheduled to be released on 5^th March.

Meanwhile, Wretch 32 and Labrinth are among the artists set to perform at this year's Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London.
