Dizzy Wright's been on tear since being announced as the fan-voted "People's Champ" in this year's XXL Freshmen 10 class late last month. He launched his "Still Movin" campaign, complete with a fresh line of merchandise; he released a new video, "Killem Wit Kindess," that will be featured on his upcoming, soon-to-be-titled mixtape; he's hit the road for the first dates of what will be a 25-city nationwide Fight To Unite Tour; and today he's releasing another new video, this time for the title track of his 2012 EP, The First Agreement.
The video, directed by On Point Films and filmed predominately in Lindsay, California, puts Dizzy front and center as he opens up over the track's laid-back guitar-driven beat. "They tell me I sound like a prophet/ Feeding my ni**as with knowledge," raps Dizzy. "I'm ready to teach and learn/ Educating for this heaven on earth." A mix of serene shots and well-placed spliced footage, the video offers a straightforward yet powerful visual to match Dizzy's strong bars.

Dizzy Wright Background:
Not many 21-year old rappers can say that they’ve been rapping for over a decade. Las Vegas, Nevada, Rapper Dizzy Wright began rapping at just 8 years old, in the group “DaFuture” with his brother and very close friend – his mother wrote his raps at the time. Dizzy broke through when he was discovered at the Sheikh Music “Rip the Mic” competition in 2010 and signed onto Funk Volume a few months later. In April 2012, Dizzy released his first Funk Volume album, SmokeOut Conversations, peaking at #2 on the iTunes Hip-Hop charts which he followed up with a free mixtape, Free SmokeOut Conversations, which has been downloaded over 200,000 times, and helped propel Dizzy to his own national 30-city tour. In December 2012, Dizzy went on to release the first of four EPs, The First Agreement, which reached as high as #2 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart. In March of 2013, Dizzy gathered enough votes to be selected as the "People's Choice" member of the XXL Freshman Class of 2013. Dizzy is showing no signs of slowing down as 2013 looks to be his biggest year yet
Funk Volume Background:
Funk Volume is a record label, marketing and production company founded to give hip hop artists a home to freely express themselves without feeling controlled or pressured by any other outside forces. Currently home to Hopsin, SwizZz, Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton and DJ Hoppa, Funk Volume's plan is to represent only the sickest, most talented, and most creative artists that we can find. The label's objective is to produce music that it feel competes with any other artists or labels in the industry. Funk Volume is not a "movement", not a "gang", not a "squad." Funk Volume is a commitment – to protect the integrity of the music and conduct our business properly. It is a commitment to hip-hop, to its fans, and to each other.
