06.04.2014

Critical Praise for Dizzy Wright:

Selected by fans to XXL’s Freshmen Class of 2013

“Amazing.” – MTV News

“Dizzy Wright is captivating the moment you hear him“ – Complex

The Song:

Hollering the lifestyle catchphrase of the year, Dizzy Wright posits “Turn down for what?!” on the chorus of his latest loosie, the trap-inspired party anthem “Spark Up The Flame.” With twerk-ready bass lines and flashy rhymes, the Las Vegas rapper pushes the sentimental lyrics aside for a moment to suggest having a good time. Coming from such a glitzy city known for a vibrant and unforgettable night life experience, Dizzy promotes the ideas of letting loose, lighting a spliff, and partying like there’s no tomorrow.

Perceived as a stoner rapper with a penchant for embracing golden era-level elite lyricism, Dizzy continues to display a large amount of versatility in his music. Following the success of his State of Mind EP, which XXL calls a “quality offering from an MC that has tasted success and wants more,” Dizzy continues to invite the audience into his thoughts and inhibitions, welcoming fans and followers to get an understanding of who he really is.

On Thursday, June 5th, LRG Clothing will be presenting their brILLiant youth EP, which is a collaborative project between Dizzy, Bishop Nehru, and 9th Wonder. In the first leg of a 20-city State of Mind tour, Dizzy shows no signs of slowing down, and will be sparking up flames and turning up throughout the West Coast and Southeast this summer!
