Biografía
What were you doing when you were 9 years old? Chances are, it wasn’t what La’Reonte Wright was doing, since by that tender age he was already starting a rap career with his mum as his manager and his lyricist. I suppose it was only a matter of time, considering that most pop stars today are in the late teens and very early twenties at the oldest, if anything it’s a surprise that he didn’t get a number one single before middle school. He probably could have as well if he wanted to but even then, Wright was cut of a different cloth. From the very beginning of his career he made a conscious effort to eschew the machinations of major labels in favour of the creative freedom one gets from independents.
A smart kid, undoubtedly, and it all comes from his upbringing. Wright was born in Michigan but his family upped sticks to Las Vegas, Nevada when he was four. Even at that age he was taken by hip-hop, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Nas were his favourites and remain so to this day. Fitting really, since his uncle is Layzie Bone, a member of the former group. By the age of eight he’d formed DaFuture, a group with his brother and his best friend, which his mother was writing the raps for. This is nowhere near as lame as it sounds, since Wright’s mother was a respected concert promoter, and it was her dealing with the inner workings of the music industry that convinced Wright to stay away from major labels and carve out a path of his own.
Not that this meant that life was plain sailing for Wright and his family, for five months they lived in a homeless shelter when Dizzy was in seventh grade and by the time he was 17, he was kicked out of their home. However, Wright had the perfect mix of self-confidence, self-reliance and talent both natural and earned to flourish on his own. In 2010 he won the Sheikh Music Rip The Mic competition and by 2012 he was signed to Funk Volume Records. He had some success with the release of his first album “Smokeout Conversations”, however, it’s on the internet where Wright has really shined.
His first mixtape on Funk Volume, “Free SmokeOut Conversations” was downloaded 170,000 times, and its success led to a huge 30 date tour of his home country, sealing his reputation as one of the most exciting new rappers alive. Since then he’s worked with everyone from Joey Bada$$ to Wyclef Jean to his childhood heroes Bone Thugs-n-Harmony on his follow up work. It looks like this is only the beginning of a legendary career in hip-hop, the kind you can only get with a decade’s worth of preparation behind it. This is the beginning of a major talent, and he comes highly recommended.

When people once again bring up the subject of the internet's effect on the music industry, it may be worth directing them to the music of Dizzy Wright. With many arguing that the internet over-saturates the music industry with a thousand voices speaking at once, some simply speak louder or with more purpose similar to the way of Michigan rapper La'Reonte Wright. After beginning to rap at the age of just 8, it would seem Dizzy demonstrated a deep routed passion for the genre and should platforms such as YouTube and Soundcloud not have existed, he could have struggled to get his sounds heard.
Also through starting online and proving to be a hit, as he steps out onto the live circuit he has a pre-existing following for his music and sound. It is always refreshing when you see a new artist practically bound onto stage and the whole room goes wild instantly as opposed to just a select few. This energy fuels the performance as Wright tears through material from early mix-tapes and teases tracks from the debut studio album. It would seem assured this rapper will become a hit and elevate through the ranks fast so check him out whilst you can.

Le’Reonte Wright, aka Dizzy Wright, has been trying to take the hip-hop world by storm. Coming out of Las Vegas, Nevada, he has been expressing himself through rap for a long time, and in 2010, caught the attention of the label Funk Volume with his performance and win in the Sheikh Music Rip the Mic competition.
While watching his live sets you can see the passion that he is filled with. He gets more and more intense as he hits the highlight of his song, and you can see in his eyes how much the song means to him. He commands your attention, despite there being so many distractions like the DJ running his tracks, or the people who know all of the words to his songs and are rapping them at the top of their lungs. Your eyes are drawn to him, and stick with him as he moves along the stage. Between songs, he thanks the people, and also introduces the next song, as well as talks to everyone in the audience. He gives everyone a show, and makes sure that when they leave, they will be talking about how great of a performer he is to see live.

This man is the realest rapper in the game today. He epitomizes a great social movement promoting peace, love, and equality. Dizzy knows how to have fun, but also how to draw the line when the crowd gets a little too rowdy. Although I've already seen him twice, I could still go back and see him perform again and again.

Great fucking show! Just what me and my boyfriend needed. We had the meet and greet tickets that were definitely worth it. Dizzy is dope, and I'm glad he gave us fans the chance to meet him! Can't wait for the next tour.

Audio Push was on the lineUP but, did not perform! Would not bought tickets knowing they were not apart of the Oakland show. Your App said otherwise, please do better to update people on set/lineUP changes
