“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 Video:
Jay Fizzle cemented his lofty status in his hometown Memphis scene by always staying true to himself and faithfully representing his environment in his raps. Today, the Paper Route Empire rapper shares the new music video for “Who Is Grizzape?,” the anthemic title track from his most recent album. Fizzle fits his rapidfire flow between dramatic keys and twanging guitars, mourning lost friends, standing on business, and focusing on his bag. In the video, Fizzle shows why he’s the man in his city, as he presides over a porch sale, attends a cookout, and sets off fireworks with his Memphis homies.
Released over the summer, Who Is Grizzape is a feast of no-holds-barred Memphis music. The album is home to 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.
