Dizzy Wright is on a serious roll. Early last week, Dizzy was named as part of XXL Magazine's 2013 Freshmen 10 class, winning the fan-voted "People's Champ" spot. He followed that honor by launching his "Still Movin'" campaign, with slick merch and a new video. And today, Dizzy is releasing yet another new video, for the song "Killem Wit Kindness," which will be featured on Dizzy's soon-to-be-titled upcoming mixtape.
The track, produced by AF $upreme, is built around a laid back guitar loop, a somber vibe that Dizzy uses to open up and give fans a stream-of-consciousness look into his career, what it means for him to be a father and a rapper, and wanting to do better for his family. The video, directed and edited by Geeezy Productions, offers a fitting day-in-the-life look, as Dizzy spends time with his daughter, kicks it with friends, and much more.

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 which he followed 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. Dizzy is showing no signs of slowing down as 2013 looks to be his biggest year yet
Funk Volume Background:
Funk Volume is a record label, marketing and production company founded to give hip hop artists a home to freely express themselves without feeling controlled or pressured by any other outside forces. Currently home to Hopsin, SwizZz, Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton and DJ Hoppa, Funk Volume's plan is to represent only the sickest, most talented, and most creative artists that we can find. The label's objective is to produce music that it feel competes with any other artists or labels in the industry. Funk Volume is not a "movement", not a "gang", not a "squad." Funk Volume is a commitment – to protect the integrity of the music and conduct our business properly. It is a commitment to hip-hop, to its fans, and to each other.
