Critical Praise for Dizzy Wright:

Selected as one of XXL’s Freshmen Class of 2013

“Amazing.” –  MTV News

“Dizzy Wright is captivating the moment you hear himComplex

The Song:

Raised in Vegas, one would expect a flashy flow and cocky demeanor from Funk Volume rapper Dizzy Wright, especially as the nephew of legendary Bone Thugs-n-Harmony emcee Lazyie Bone. Far from this, the esteemed Sin City emcee shows his gratitude and takes time to reflect on his accomplishments in “Reunite for The Night,” produced by Roc n Mayne, from Dizzy’s recently released State of Mind EP. In the track, the lyrics affirm implication of an ode in recognition to all those who have supported him. Dizzy spits in third person to get into the mindset of his supporters of family and friends, rapping, “It’s good to see you/Glad you in town/I ain’t seen you in a while/you be holding shit down/keep making the city proud.”

With a funky bassline and heavy cuts and stratches, this track sets a reminiscent tone yet still holds as a celebratory party anthem. Dizzy raps, “Live by the three M’s: maintain, Mary Jane, make art.” Throughout the track, he carefully explains the lives of family and friends and their impact on his success, while addressing the joy he experiences when going home and reuniting with them. With a chill vibe, Dizzy continues to display his appreciation throughout the collection of tracks on the EP.

With Rockie Fresh being the only featured artist on the entire EP, it is clear that this introspective story is being told exclusively through his eyes. Following his highly acclaimed Golden Age mixtape, State of Mind is noted as being a “quality offering from an MC that has tastes success and wants more” according to XXL. Dizzy explains “success is a state of mind, and in due time, you gon’ hear my best work.”

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. He followed it 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. Also in 2013, Dizzy released The Golden Age mixtape and followed it up with The Golden Age Tour.
