Dizzy Wright's XXL Bio/Interview Profile

It was crazy because I was going kind of hard to get the fans to vote because I wasn’t sure. I hadn’t got the call yet. Last year, my boy Hop was on it. We found out kind of early for him.

I am definitely in Hop’s corner, 100 percent. My success is going to be official to everybody in our label... Continued at source-> http://www.xxlmag.com/2013-freshmen/dizzy-wright/
