Video: Wizz Havinn – “Young N Turnt

The Tallahassee Rhymer Lives The Good Life In New Video From Super Wizz: The Sequel

Critical Praise:

“…it’s straight-up Southern fly shit. It’s the type of song that I can imagine becoming the motivational soundtrack for SEC defensive lineman, with emphasis on this line: ‘I make music that can make you get yo’ own money.’ The soul may be old, but the mood is timeless.”Pitchfork

“Wizz’s Havinn’s adlibs sound like they were recorded in a cave to maximize the amount of echo he gets. It rules, and it’s probably the reason why my own inner thoughts have started to come with a little bit of echo…It’s a good snapshot of what makes Florida’s rap scene so exciting right now: They’re pulling in influences from all over the country and from eras of rap without losing any of their homegrown identity.” The FADER

“Wizz Havinn’s Mr. Too Sticky dropped a few days before Christmas, but I’ll call it the first good rap tape of 2023. On ‘C Class,’ the Tallahassee rapper sounds like he’s having a conversation with his seat leaned all the way back.” – The FADER

 

The Video:

Known for his laid-back flow and effortless money moves, Wizz Havinn is a fixture in the Florida rap scene. The Tallahassee rapper continues to make hustling look easy in “Young N Turnt,” the latest video from his deluxe project Super Wizz: The Sequel. Casually flexing atop bouncy production, Wizz explains how a life of luxury has become the norm for him: “Young ‘n turnt for real, that’s just how I live.” In the video, directed by SuaveFilms, Wizz enjoys the fruits of his success performing onstage to adoring fans, pulling up to the club surrounded by baddies, and skirting around town in a sleek red Corvette.

“Young N Turnt” is a highlight track from Super Wizz: The Sequel, the expansion of his November 2023 project. Like any superhero sequel, the new version of Super Wizz is bigger and badder than the original, adding seven new laid back, yet motivational anthems to the proceedings. A kinetic collection of hustle-hard hood anthems, the Super Wizz is a sterling example of the new Tallahassee sound (“Tallahassee has made a major stamp on the world,” says Wizz. “We came out with a sound that nobody’s ever heard.”). Wizz is known for his laid back flow, which helped define the sound of the rising Tallahassee scene, but his blasé demeanor belies his superhuman focus on stacking paper. In his own words, Wizz makes music that “makes you want to get your own money”–he learned to rhyme to escape his circumstances, and he hopes to be a shining example for others in his community.

The mixtape is home to singles like Eminem,” a collaboration with the similarly soft-spoken Detroit rapper Veeze, “Real Drip” ft. YTB Fatt, and the Ddot Freezing-produced Check Me.” Featuring additional appearances from Jeezy, Wizz’s fellow master motivator, and Lil Double 0, Super Wizz: The Sequel is available everywhere via Open Shift Distribution.

With his new project under his belt, praise from Pitchfork and The FADER for his music, and much more to come, Wizz Havinn’s hood heroics are just beginning. Stay tuned for much more from Super Wizz in 2024.

The Background:

First emerging in 2022 with songs like the Pitchfork-praised “Water Running,” Tallahassee native Wizz Havinn immediately made an impact with his flow, which sits slightly behind the beat, ending each line with an upward inflection that makes him sound surprised by his own high-quality flexes. His flow inspired the sound of fellow Tallahassee breakout Luh Tyler, who has credited Wizz as a direct influence. In December 2022, Wizz garnered critical acclaim for his debut project Mr. Too Sticky, earning praise from Pitchfork and The FADER, who called Mr. Too Sticky, “the first good rap tape of 2023.”  The tape gave a permanent home to street hits like Mode,” which generated over 1.8 million views on YouTube, Not Worthy,” and the FADER-acclaimed C-Class.” When not rhyming, the young father enjoys fishing in the Panhandle’s abundant swamps and cooking up meals in his kitchen. The rapper just shared his new album Super Wizz, with guest appearances from Jeezy, YTB Fatt, and more.
