The Longest-Tenured Rapper in Paper Route Empire Prepares the Road to His Next Album, Delivering a Hard-Nosed Memphis Trap Anthem
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:
With his tumbling flow and penchant for outlandish flexes, Jay Fizzle is one of Memphis’s most dependable hitmakers. The Paper Route Empire rapper delivers another heater, serving up “Smash,” a collaborator with two fellow Bluff City bruisers. Riding an old school Memphis beat with rubbery bass and shimmering Hammond organ, Fizzle serves up boisterous bars in his trademark tumbling flow, boasting about his luxurious lifestyle: “I do want cause I don’t give a f*ck, nah I do what I want cause I’m rich as a b*tch,” asserts Fizzle. Baby K and Tyree Da Gunman add their own flavor of Tennessee trap to the proceedings, creating a three-man weave of smack talk. The video finds all three rappers racing their foreign cars in midtown Memphis, bringing out the block for an unforgettable night.
Jay Fizzle is hard at work on the follow-up to his 2025 project Beat The Odds. Beat The Odds is a 9-track ode to hard work and dedication, devoted to the art of executing a long-term plan to perfection. Spitting double-time in his signature tumbling flow, Fizzle alternates outlandish flexes with pearls of street wisdom, as he offers authentic advice for other trench babies attempting to overcome adversity. Featuring guest appearances from his PRE brother Key Glock, along with OJ Da Juiceman, and home to singles like the lush, 70s-indebted “Peepin’ Thru Ya Window” and “Gotta Be A Man,” Beat The Odds is available on all platforms via Paper Route Empire.
Stay tuned for Fizzle’s next project, sure to cement the hard-hitting artist as one of the best in the Memphis scene.
