Video: Jay Fizzle – “My Time”
The Paper Route Empire Rapper Plans His Rise To The Top In The Assertive New 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
The Video:
Continuing to grind year after year, Jay Fizzle is one of the most promising acts out of Memphis. Today, he continues his hot streak, sharing “My Time,” the latest video from his recent project Who Is Grizzape. Over a bouncy yet ferocious beat that takes equal inspiration from Memphis and the West Coast, Fizzle spits bars about his unlikely come up and what it takes to survive in the streets: “I’m from the b-to-the-o-to-the-double t-o-m, yeah I’m from the bottom / Know a couple n****s screamin’ that I can’t, I don’t even know them, n****s ain’t proper.” In the video, the Memphis rapper traps inside a PRE clock tower, throwing bands and emphasizing that he’s making the most of his time at the top with no plans of slowing down.
The “My Time” video comes hot on the heels of Fizzle’s new album, Who Is Grizzape and its accompanying documentary.The project is a feast of no-holds-barred Memphis music, featuring anthems like Front And Back Pocket,” which boasts a slowed sample of Young Dolph’s 2015 song “Boyz In The Hood,” and guest spots from PRE cohorts Big Moochie Grape and Kenny Muney, the Ayoza-produced “Mr. Freaky Man,” and the cinematic, JpOnThaTrack-produced “Bottom Boy Survivor.” 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, Jay Fizzle is ready to let the world know who runs things in Bluff City. Sit back and watch him rise to the top of Memphis’s busy scene.
