Background
Discussing Disc-Overy, Tinie Tempah said, "If you've heard "Pass Out" and "Frisky" and think you know what to expect, you're wrong. I wanted this album to be really raw, not only in terms of the production but the guests. I was only interested in working with people I really respect and who I'm a fan of." He also said, "I met Ellie Goulding very early on, we swapped numbers and after that we started living very parallel worlds; the same festivals, interviews and so on. It made total sense to have her on the album."[12]
Chart performance
On its release, Disc-Overy received generally positive reviews, earning praise for its broad musical appeal and being compared with other crossover acts such as Dizzee Rascal and Tinchy Stryder.

Disc-Overy has received double platinum certification by British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and has sold over 750,000 copies in the UK alone since its release.[14] It has spent fifty consecutive weeks in the UK Top 40 Albums Chart to date.[when?][15] In the US, the album debuted at number twenty-one on the Billboard 200 with 16,400 copies sold in the first week.[16] In the second week, 6,300 copies were sold, making a total of 22,700 domestic units in two weeks.[17]
