Fresh off of his breakthrough performance on BET's 106&Park where he captured the nations attention with "Top Knotch Steez" 19 year old Dizzy D Flashy is a lyrical phenomenon and one of the hottest up and coming HipHop talents to anticipate. Based in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, Dizzy has managed to use the city as a platform to launch his career and has already been stirring up all sorts of action.
No stranger to entertainment, Dizzy began his career at the age of ten as a youth reporter interviewing major celebrities such as Nelly, Jessica Simpson, Magic Johnson, & Boys II Men with his younger brother K.J. The young brothers began recording songs and before they knew it were asked to perform at high profile events such as Magic Johnson's Mid Summer Nights Mardi Gras where they made their first performance on the same stage as B2K. Not long after, R & B singer turned actor, Tyrese called them up on the stage during a photo OP at the 3rd Annual BET Awards in Los Angeles and introduced them to the media as DaFuture. The brothers really liked that name and decided that’s what they would be called from that point on.
Under the direction and guidance of their Uncle Layzie Bone, of the multi-platinum rap group Bone thugs-n-harmony the two brothers recorded many songs including one featuring Cassidy while working in the studio with Swizz Beatz. However, reality was beginning to set in as their mom simply could not afford to put anymore money into their young careers. As a result of Dizzy’s family financial problems, the teenagers of a single mom were forced to focus on school and give music a temporary rest. Dizzy calls this his inspiration for the song “Dreams on Hold”. In total DaFuture won three awards in three years (2005, 2006 & 2007) at the annual Las Vegas Music Awards including "Best Hip-Hop Group".
Now, almost two years later Dizzy has stepped out on his own as a solo performer. He’s been grinding in the studio almost everyday after school working on songs for his debut album. While in pursuit of the right major situation he plans to spread positive energy through his music. Hopefully allowing people to not only groove to his songs but be able to understand his young perception of life through his eyes with his dynamic and crystal clear ability to flow in a variety of styles to a variety of speaker bumping beats. “I’ve learned the hard way that you can be the coolest kid on the block and still have a good head on your shoulders; education is the key to the future, it’s important no matter what career you are pursuing,” exclaims the young entertainer.
Over the years Dizzy has been in the studio with many major recording artist and producers and has had the pleasure to work with many. Even though he is a hip-hop artist, he’s worked with R & B producers that have produced hit records for Missy Elliott, Alicia Keys, Destiny's Child, Mario and many, many more. Dizzy is sure to be right there among some of today’s hottest young entertainers that go straight for the top. He has his own swag and he prolifically displays this on his debut single "Swagg It Out" which is beginning to create a major buzz in his hometown of Las Vegas.
State Of Mind
Dizzy Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He the hottest, well I debate that, cause I know you ain't bumping my tape yet (don't lie)
Getting high, where the vape at? A little something to ease my mental
Four Agreements on my Kindle, yiggity yuh, my design reminder
Going ham in the line to fire, never not working until I'm an expert
Success is a state of mind, and in due time, you gon hear my best work (what)
I'm strictly about my business, too many niggas is with that "let's work"
Tryna swim with the sharks without catching yo breath first (nigga wait a minute)
When you learn how much you worth you will stop giving out discounts
Gotta quiet all of these critics, the most devoted in my division
They do it for the mentions, but I never trade respect for attention
Y'all don't hear me, demons near me, yes I'm on my own
A hundred songs that sound alike, you better get out yo comfort zone
Run along until I'm gone from an unsolved crime
Don't act surprised, yo state of mind gon change when I get a trial, that's why I
Picked up the yoga, put down the soda
My healthy mind, that's what's gon help me over
Life of a stoner, if you still concerned
I never lose, I only win or learn
It's all about your state of mind
Picked up the yoga, put down the soda
My healthy mind, that's what's gon help me over
Life of a stoner, if you still concerned
I never lose, I only win or learn
It's all about your state of mind
I told em it's hard to be the man that never gives up
Lightweights and so, but ain't nobody made it but us
See dedications a must, I'm up after you and before you
Whether you popping in this moment, or before me, I'm coming for you
Ignore the hate, you niggas ain't qualified to even be occupied
Don't fake the funk, we blaze the blunt, we never compromise
Focus, I'm bringing this funky shit in doses
With a ashtray full of roaches, ripping that real shit with emotion
My city say I'm the closest, so I'm open for new suggestions
My mind found all the answers, my heart switched up all the questions
Yo shit getting ejected while I'm out painting my reflection
The secret weapon respected from all the topics I be addressing (uh-oh)
From time to time it's hard to advise these niggas that's tryna rhyme
'Cause money ain't everything but yo state of mind become them dollar signs
Poison the planet, y'all feeding off all kinda lies
And these new slaves is mentally traumatized, y'all don't hear me though
We got on my shoulders, my purpose shows I deserve it
I ain't saying it's finna be easy, I'm telling y'all it's finna be worth it (preach)
When my time come I'm just tryna have my season like Mr. Yeezus
This my state of mind before The Second Agreement, better believe it, so I
Picked up the yoga, put down the soda
My healthy mind, that's what's gon help me over
Life of a stoner, if you still concerned
I never lose, I only win or learn
It's all about your state of mind
