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.
World Peace

If you don't know why then it's time to watch me
A young papi with the confidence of Rocky in a boxing match
Early mornings, practicing my rhymes, 13 rocking a stocking cap
Skinny nigga, I told my reflection I'll never settle
Said if I gain some weight then I would one day try to wrestle
Wanted to play ball and be a UNLV rebel
When I let my talent go to waste cause I couldn't keep up my grades
Now I'm living out my second dream, grown into some shit you've never seen
Now I'm onto better things
It just goes to show when you travel a lot and you be on the road
We all striving to be comfortable and happy
But in life we go the distance
A major part in life is building the life you wanna live with
I know we lack patience, but you gotta stay consistent
Only you can slow you down, turn your dreams into commitments
Making sense with a sentence, Golden Age and I'm vintage
1990 to now, what we doin', they did it
You could be fooled in a minute
I'm just tryna talk that shit until I'm finished
The lost soul that's protected by my religion
I represent World Peace
Lately I've been feeling a certain way
Peace signs in every picture that I take
I represent World Peace
Smoking weed until the feeling goes away
Spreading love until I'm in and out my day
I represent World Peace
I'm extremely excited, without it hidin'
Niggas see me smilin'
But y'all niggas don't know the half of it
I'm talking bout a kid that grew up without havin' shit
And sorted out a plan, and then turned into a man
Y'all understand the fans, and how fans follow the artist
But what if one man give em something other than trends?
What you recommend, what you steppin' in?
Who you follow, what you represent, nigga what set you in?
Now we all started from the bottom
Started with a problem, before I was ever crawlin'
I was born into my miseries
Came out with my hidden talents, now the rest is history
Riding, but if you ain't providing, that don't mean shit to me
You could be the hardest nigga walkin'
But the hardest niggas working is the bosses
Keep it authentic, cause the image got you confused
Anybody would tell you it's a lose lose
Nigga do you
Lately I've been feeling a certain way
Peace signs in every picture that I take
I represent World Peace
Smoking weed until the feeling goes away
Spreading love until I'm in and out my day
I represent World Peace
I just wanna give you something you can keep in mind
Be strong, don't let nothing disturb yo peace of mind
Read between the lines, teaching men to rhyme
You can't change overnight, we all need some time
Homie act like I ain't out here on my ones and twos
Yo fundamentals was rented, and it's a bunch of you
Me, I been the same since my momma was buying lunchables
Grew through some functions, respected cause I'm lovable
Think good thoughts, speak good words
Take good actions, yeah that's what the world deserves
A man in power, that's gon' empower the people first
And Howard College, they listen, came all the way from the dirt
Agree to disagree, judge me cause I'd rather have them legalize
A plant, then feed the people nicotine
Sell the devil's juice, and they gon' support it by any means
On they TV screens, nigga please
I represent World Peace
Lately I've been feeling a certain way
Peace signs in every picture that I take
I represent World Peace
Smoking weed until the feeling goes away
Spreading love until I'm in and out my day
I represent World Peace
In the song "World Peace," Dizzy Wright reflects on his life journey and the values that he holds most dear, especially the pursuit of peace. He starts by recalling a fan from Australia who idolizes him, but whose idolization he wants to justify by showing the passion and dedication that he puts into his art. He reminisces about how hard he worked to hone his skills as a rapper, even when he was just a skinny 13-year-old wearing a stocking cap. He explains that he always felt like he had something to prove and that he would never settle for less than his best. However, he admits that there were times in his life when he lost sight of his goals, such as when his grades slipped in high school and he had to give up his dream of playing basketball for UNLV. These setbacks, he suggests, are an inevitable part of life, but what matters most is that you stay the course and never give up on your dreams.
As the song progresses, Dizzy Wright becomes increasingly assertive, making it clear that he represents a particular set of values, with "World Peace" being foremost among them. He expresses his anger with the way that many rappers in the industry have sold out to corporate interests, peddling products like cigarettes and alcohol that harm people's health and well-being. Instead, Dizzy Wright advocates for a more conscious and ethical approach to music, one that prioritizes values like authenticity, compassion, and service to others. He urges his listeners to think about the impact that their words and actions have on others and to strive always to spread love and positivity. In this way, "World Peace" is a statement of purpose, a manifesto for a new kind of hip-hop culture that prioritizes social justice, nonviolence, and community building.

Dizzy the only dude who can make some positive and peaceful hip-hop without it sounding corny. This dude is amazing bro
@Vilnislv13
E,yo,when Kendrick be droppin some positive shit it`s the same.
@0mniG0D
Esmu Āksts Dont ever compare Kendrick to Dizzy ever again lol. Kendrick is great. But he's not Dizzy. Not even close.
@Vilnislv13
Andres Ruiz Wasn`t meant as a comparison.
Was just sayin that both of em can come out with some positivity.
They are way too different to compare them.
Both great,both in their unique way.
@OneShotOfficial.
Esmu Āksts Kendrick used to be sick but hes gone to main stream, im not saying main stream is bad but its the main stream that gets people that don't understand the power of music, like little kids. Kids that like that artist because one song has the word 'bitch' or something.That's how i feel about Kendrick now
@Vilnislv13
I feel you man,but i dessagree.
In my opinion he`s taking a break.
He stopmed the industry big time with good kid mad city.
Now he`s stepping back to see what others got up their sleeve,by doing some shitt with imagine dragons and stuff.
I`d say another big drop from him could be comming on this fall or next spring,you just wait.
@DoufWag1000
This is how rap should really be.
