Dizzy Wright is bringing 1960s youth and beat-culture back to the future and hip-hop

With each new album, invigorated hip-hop soul Dizzy Wright proves he is a man of integrity, something not common in showbiz rap and thus harder to find than your average celebrity-rapper. Still, it’s not difficult to tell him apart from the field, and his message is also not hard to relate to. In fact it’s quite easy to feel. In The Golden Age 2, the sequel to his 2013 mixtape and his third official LP, Wright emphasizes a long spread of honorable values and noble personality traits—generosity and a providing nature, peace and love, mental liberation, positive attitude, gratitude, maturity and the importance of family.
Additionally, he’s gravely troubled by the racial and economic problems in America, the culture of fakeness, and diminishing rapper qualifications in the industry. Later in he shows some city-love to his hometown Las Vegas and describes what life was like for him as a child. While T.G.A.2 is not perfect in that some arguably unnecessary skits get in the way of the album’s procession and though the general structure of the project is nothing new, Dizzy Wright makes it his first priority to send out words that are deeply motivational and deeply inspirational, to help him and us get our mentalities and lives on the right track.
