Artist Lookout- Dizzy Wright

Dizzy Wright, the new cat signed to Funk Volume. Its no big secret that I am a huge fan of Funk Volume, I saw Hopsin and SwizZz live on my birthday, and got to meet them. Dizzy Wright is the newest member signed to FV, and it was definitely a good call on Hopsin and SwizZz's part. Dizzy Wright is like a cross-breed of Tupac and Wiz Khalifa. He resembles Wiz Khalifa, but his lyrical content is very similar to Tupac, and he even raps over the beat for "Changes." His songs are on the inspirational side, but raps on a range of topics. Dizzy does not have much music out right now, but I am sure that because he is signed to FV now, he will produce much more and better music.

My Review of Hopsin- Raw

     First things first, if you like Eminem from the Slim Shady era then you should buy this album. If there was one word to describe the album, then it would have to be "raw." When Hopsin was asked his opinion of the word raw, he gave this answer.I think raw is always just, raw. The definition will never change. It means raw talent. You’re not scared to say what you feel. A lot of rappers today aren’t raw. The ones that are don’t get the proper shine. Raw is shredding emcees up, how Canibus was back in the day. The old Slim Shady, that’s raw. DMX. That raw aggression, the I-don’t-give-a-fuck style. Tupac had it. A lot of rappers had it. In their opinion a new definition of raw has evolved but it’s not really raw though. I don’t really know anybody in the commercial world that’s raw anymore.” That is exactly what this album is, and it is very refreshing.
   
     A lot of people say he sounds like a black Eminem, and a lot of people say he doesn't, that he sounds like Hopsin. Well I agree with both sides of the story, he has a undeniable Eminem-like flow that just stands out. He disses rappers in a similar manner, and likes to clown just like Slim Shady. But he also has his own style that sticks out from Eminem. On this album he very much resembles Eminem, but he also has his own style that is also very evident on this very well-crafted album. Hopsin dropped this little underground gem of an album in November of 2010, but unfortunately, it did not receive any mainstream success. It really is a great album, and Hopsin really could do what he says, bring rap out of its slump (everything on the radio.)
