“It’s not just music, it’s about the culture,” says Brooklyn rapper, Darrell Wheeler AKA SCUM (Society Can’t Understand Me) Lord D!zzy.
What’s the state of Brooklyn Hip-Hop? Watered down, currently nonexistent, some might say and others have expressed rappers Fabolous and Jay ZÂ keep Brooklyn rap music relevant. While rap culture has changed and evolved, there are still the young lyrical masterminds that have stuck to providing the industry with the true essence of Hip-Hop – the Art.
“My mom and (step) dad were heavily into a different lifestyle. My (step) dad was a big time drug dealer” D!zzy said. “It was something I was always around. I got everything I ever wanted yet I knew I wanted something different.”
Different is one word to describe this young talent. At the age of 8 D!zzy realized the gift he possessed. In second grade at Cathedral School of Brooklyn in Park Slope, he inspired the school to start an all boys choir because he and a friend were constantly singing in class. The choir allowed him and other students to positively express themselves through song. By the age of 11, he was recording his own music.
“I was always a hustler and an artist. It all came hand-in-hand. I drew characters like Dragonball Z and Sonic and sold them in class or traded them for snacks,” D!zzy went on. The original Brooklyn is far different than what it is now. While music was always there, art gave D!zzy the opportunity to express what words couldn’t say in the time that he was raised.
Currently the rapper has over 300 songs recorded and 3 albums stored ready to drop at the time he sees fit. D!zzy has written and recorded songs with Red Cafe, Uncle Murda and R. Kelly and performed on the same stage with Fabolous, Maino and Meek Mill. He is supported by artist like Keyshia Cole and provided beats from producers like Boola, Bink and Grammy-nominated production team founder, Wiz Buchanan.
D!zzy released his first ever full album; a double disc phenomenon, “The P!ll” compiled of The Lo’z and The H!’z of his life back in April of this year. “The P!ll” is personal; D!zzy’s story told in his own words. From the cover art of both records hand drawn by the rapper to the prescription written, inspired by the musical doctor.
