Video: Dizzy Wright Interview w/ Hard Knock TV (Part 1)


 In part 1 Dizzy talks to Nick Huff Barili about being inspired to rhyme by
 Krayzie Bone and Bone Thugs N Harmony. Dizzy recalls that at first his Mother,
 who worked in the music industry, would write his raps but at one point he felt
 that it didn't fully represent him so he started writing his own rhymes. Dizzy
 goes on to share the time him, his Mother and his four brothers and sisters lived
in a homeless shelter when he was in 7th grade. Like Asap Rocky whom Nick also
 interviewed about living in a homeless shelter, Dizzy says that the experience gave
 him a perspective which he still carries today about being grateful for what he has.

 "I don't really want for anything. I don't expect anything. When you don't have
 nothing, anything is cool. Like I said in one of my songs "We was strong when
 we was weak, thats why I pray before I eat." As the interview progresses Dizzy
 talks about how the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ángel Ruiz
inspired Dizzy's EP The First Agreement. Dizzy calls the book "Life Bars"
 and says it helps create "Heaven on Earth". Part 1 end with Dizzy
 addressingpeople comparing him to Wiz Khalifa. Dizzy says "Wiz is the
new Snoop Dogg....So anybody who comes up with tattoos and smokes
 weed is going to have to go through thats just another want to be
Wiz Khalifa until he creates something for himself.
