Video: Jay Fizzle – “Bottom Boy Survivor” ft. JpOnThaTrack
The PRE Rapper Heads Home to The Memphis Streets That Shaped Him In the Latest Video From Who Is Grizzape
Critical Praise:
“..the members of Paper Route Empire reach a level of sincerity and emotional reflection that’s still hard to come by.” – Pitchfork
“Choosing some of the more interesting production to rhyme over, Jay Fizzle’s frankness and the flows he has on tap keep him in the convo as the whole city takes off.” – XXL Mag
“10 Rappers You Should Know Right Now” – DJ Booth
“The tape serves as both a testament to Memphis’ current rap preeminence and Fizzle’s own dexterity. He saves perhaps the hardest for last on the tape, attacking a looped vocal sample and towering percussion with ferocity.” – DJ Booth
“Jay Fizzle is a master of the searing street rap that serves as the bass-booming heart of Memphis music.” – The Hype Magazine
Fuerza Regida is currently on the road, performing the “Pero No Te Enamores Tour,” which just made a stop at UBS Arena in New York and continues this weekend with a headlining slot at Baja Beach Fest. The tour continues throughout this summer and fall, performing dozens of dates including two sold out dates at the brand new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA.
The Video:
Igniting Memphis with his streetwise raps and drawling flow, Jay Fizzle never fails to keep it real. Today, he shares the video for “Bottom Boy Survivor” ft. JpOnThaTrack, a highlight from last month’s Who Is Grizzape. Over cinematic production from Billboard charting producer JpOnThaTrack, Fizzle unleashes raw street stories, reflecting on how far he’s come and the lessons he’s learned along the way: “Cut off some n****s ‘cuz n****s start showin’ me fake love / Jump off the porch, yeah I been on the Paper Route.” In the video, directed by Wolfe Productions, Fizzle and his crew visit Memphis’ Westwood neighborhood, where he stunts in front of a mural depicting his mentor Young Dolph
Who Is Grizzape is a feast of no-holds-barred Memphis music, establishing Jay Fizzle as one of the finest spittas in his city. Project highlight “Front And Back Pocket” features a slowed sample of Young Dolph, from the 2015 song “Boyz In The Hood,” and guest spots from PRE cohorts Big Moochie Grape and Kenny Muney, while he expertly plays the lothario in the Ayoza-produced “Mr. Freaky Man.” Fizzle welcomes collaborators like his PRE compadre Key Glock, who joins him on “No Mo,” which also includes a posthumous verse from Big Scarr, and Memphis diva Kashh Mir hops on “Opp B*tch.” Who Is Grizzape is available to stream everywhere via Paper Route Empire.
Fizzle’s Who Is Grizzape continues a strong run for the Memphis rap mainstay. Last year, he shared his album F*CK BEING FAMOUS, which featured guest spots from 03 Greedo and fellow PRE soldiers Key Glock and SNUPE BANDZ. He paid tribute to his favorite Ninja Turtle, who he honors with a chain around his neck, with 2022’s DonaFizzo, which featured street hits like “Standing On Top Of Sh*t” ft. Key Glock and the heartfelt tribute “Long Live Dolph” ft. Ricco Barrino.
With Who Is Grizzape out now, Fizzle digs deep into his mastery of Memphis music and delivers a set for the Tennessee trap heads. Sit back and watch him rise to the top of his city’s busy scene.
