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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blessed him with a doobie and a 40 oz
Funny I used to know me
As that nigga running 'round
And now I'm getting it and
I ain't even holding out (You feel me)
I'm showing love until it kills me
And I'm sure that's what it will be
Me get too powerful (true)
But they gonna fuck with me
See me in the making
Giving life to the hands that I'm
Shaking as I'm controlling crowds
Rapping my facts ecstatic for that
They tried to hold you down
We happy you back
Taking advantage of the freedom we was given
If you get it you will listen
Before you ever have to live it
If your niggas got you fucking up
(Them ain't your niggas)
I could sense the little fakes when
I came into the picture
But yo, here go this phone
Get used to it then put it away
No time for play time to get in the zone
My nigga welcome home
That's the way love goes
That's the way that love goes baby
Since you been gone we been coming strong
I'm finna put you on, my nigga welcome home
That's the way love goes
That's the way that love goes
Since you been gone we been coming strong
I'm finna put you on, my nigga welcome home
I just met my father for the first time
Him being missing made me embrace mine
Well now this Funk Volume shit is just
A little more than rapping and collabing
Cause it got me to finally meet my Daddy
(it's cool) i wonder what the nigga be like
Is he focused, is he hustling
Can he hang in a discussion
Got off the plane
Seen him and shook his hand
Like it was nothing nigga why you fronting
You was happy as shit (Ahhh)
Smile on my face learned how to be great
Be better than me just try every day
Words of wisdom i ain't rapping the same
This shit I tat on my skin
Yeah, that's the shit he had on his brain
So now you battle with chains
They rattle your name
20 years is too long to be acting the same
But since you
Back in the game and back on the streets
What would I want if it happen to me
Pops welcome home
That's the way love goes
That's the way that love goes baby
Since you been gone we been coming strong
I'm finna put you on, Pops welcome home
That's the way love goes
That's the way that love goes baby
Since you been gone we been coming strong
I'm finna put you on, Pops welcome home
