Video: Jay Fizzle – “Good Fellas” ft. SNUPE BANDZ

The Paper Route Empire Artists Don’t Need an Exterminator to Get Rid of Rats in New Video from F*CK BEING FAMOUS

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:

A seasoned veteran of the Memphis streets and Paper Route Empire’s longest-tenured signee, Jay Fizzle knows that this game leaves no room for rats. Mobbing up with his fellow PRE made man, SNUPE BANDZ, Jay Fizzle shares the new video for “Good Fellas.” A standout from Fizzle’s recent project, F*CK BEING FAMOUS, the track finds SNUPE and Fizzle going bar-for-bar over a bouncy piano instrumental with the kind of deadly chemistry that’ll leave an opp scrambling.

Directed by Ray Ray iFilm, the video for “Good Fellas” portrays the birth of a snitch, as a frustrated associate finds himself behind bars and ends up cooperating for a McDonald’s meal and a shortened jail stay. When Fizzle and SNUPE receive word of his betrayal, they take swift action to resolve their issue. As they track down the rat and get him cornered, it calls to mind the tragic foreshadowing of the titular Scorsese film, when Jimmy Conway tells a young Henry Hill, “Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut.”

“Good Fellas” arrives as the first video released in the wake of Fizzle’s recent project, F*CK BEING FAMOUS. The new collection of unapologetically raw rhymes rolls out the carpet for a series of guests, both familiar and unfamiliar. Fizzle proves to have excellent chemistry with L.A. legend 03 Greedo on the ultra-funky “Still The Same,” as the two bond over their enduring love for the color purple, and he goes toe-to-toe with Chicago rapper Kash Mirr on the steely “Blackout.” Home to the recent video single “Dickie Set” (450k view), F*CK BEING FAMOUS looks to continue the momentum from DonaFizzo, Fizzle’s 2022 tape, and keeps his run going as Paper Route Empire’s longest-tenured signee. Last year’s DonaFizzo featured buzzing street hits like “Standing On Top Of Sh*t” ft. Key Glock and the heartfelt tribute “Long Live Dolph” ft. Ricco Barrino.

With F*CK BEING FAMOUS, Fizzle follows in the footsteps of his mentor Young Dolph, digging 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.
