Putting food on his family's table off the strength of his rhymes, Wizz Havinn always brings extra sauce. The Tallahassee rapper takes a laid back look at his success in "Make It Work," the latest music video from his new mixtape Super Wizz. Tiptoeing atop dissonant strings and skittering hi-hats, Wizz drops a series of casual flexes and lays out his further ambitions, confident in his ability to spin straw into gold: "I'm on a perc in front of the mic, just sayin' sh*t/But whatever I said, I guess it made says, they play that sh*t." In the video, Wizz rocks BBC Ice Cream and plenty of gold jewelry as he kicks back in Tally with his crew and some locals and friends–including YTB Fatt, who makes a cameo. The video for "Make It Work" follows up "Life's A Gamble," released last week.
A kinetic collection of hustle-hard hood anthems, the 18-track Super Wizz is a sterling example of the new Tallahassee sound ("Tallahassee has made a major stamp on the world," says Wizz. "We came out with a sound that nobody's ever heard."). Wizz is known for his laid back flow, which helped define the sound of the rising Tallahassee scene, but his blasé demeanor belies his superhuman focus on stacking paper. In his own words, Wizz makes music that "makes you want to get your own money"–he learned to rhyme to escape his circumstances, and he hopes to be a shining example for others in his community. The new mixtape is home to singles like "Eminem," a collaboration with the similarly soft-spoken Detroit rapper Veeze, "Real Drip" ft. YTB Fatt, and the Ddot Freezing-produced "Check Me." Featuring additional appearances from Jeezy, Wizz's fellow master motivator, and Lil Double 0,Super Wizz is available everywhere via Open Shift Distribution.
With his new project under his belt and much more to come, Wizz Havinn's hood heroics are just beginning.
