For so many artists, it’s impossible to make a big impact in the entertainment business. With an excess of aspirants and a shortage of quality talent, it’s harder for an artist to obtain the listeners’ undivided attention. Real hip-hop enthusiasts look for much more. They want to be a part of something special; just look at the success of 50cent’s G-Unit, Camron’s Dipset, Puffy’s Bad Boy and Jay-Z & Dame Dash’s Roc-A-Fella Records. Those labels provided much more than just music. People admired the way they spoke, the way they dressed, in short, their lifestyles were emulated across the world. There’s no question they made a major impact but their secret was the right timing. Their timing was perfect, flawless even. When listeners needed something more, more was provided.
With those “Gravy Train” days gone and the current state of hip-hop, something more is not wanted but it’s definitely needed. To duplicate past icon’s successes might be nearly impossible, some think. To have that type of movement you would need an artist of high magnitude and that’s Buffalo’s own, Stizz. With his artistry, the Buffalo native brings together authenticity mixed with intense fiery themes of strength, resilience, remorse and sculpts them into melodic pieces that are guided by the original King’s of Hip Hop. Stizz’s music can easily be described as hood tales but if you listen closely, there’s stories that provide hope which takes one’s mind through a journey. A journey through his lyrics are laced with infectious beats and hooks that’ll definitely keep new listeners coming back for more.
Stizz is a student of the game, which serves as his journal of all the interactions he’s had in his life. He’s absorbed all things associated with his experiences that life has thrown his way. He may be branded cocky at first glance, but his humbleness and respect for the game are equally refreshing as he looks to extend his legacy by providing aspiring music to his generation, but just doing it Stizz’s way. While growing up in a neighborhood labeled as a place where youth have no real aspirations in life, Stizz being born an entrepreneur, he chose to go against that grain. Positioning himself as Long Money Entertainment’s premiere artist, only time will tell the type of impact Stizz will have on the music industry. With CEO Jay Long backing this King, there is no telling where they’re both going. With experience and past success of launching careers such as Benny the Butcher and Conway, it seems Stizz is in excellent hands. This play was put together by Shakezdaghetto, CEO of PR’s With No Egos LLC and Jay Long.
