Official Jizzle Perspective on Infinite
I come from a place where we learned to mind our business and put family first and share our wealth. Over time, the number of qualified family just seems to decrease as residual effects of societal change and yes, even global events, continue to grow. I want to be an agent of change in my family so in this song I kind of chronicle my struggles and the mind state that I was able to achieve in overcoming obstacles such as placing trust with the wrong people, and shrinking or downplaying your talent to appear level with people you stand out from, or lastly, removing that sense of having to please everyone and gaining control of your life.
I'm Official Jizzle and I write and produce music for Big Boyz Music, a black owned music production and publishing company.
Listening to Aretha Franklin or James Brown at my grandmother and grandfather's home, and maybe some Anita Baker, Michael Jackson or Prince, funk bands like Parliament, Bar Kays, Roger Troutman, and rappers like Kool and the Gang, LL, Slick Rick. In the 90s it was all about gangster rap that's what hit home for me because that's what I remember seeing after living a pretty good childhood for a kid with no father in the 90s.
Truth be told I heard a song by Tupac entitled "I Wonder If Heaven Gotta Ghetto." I related so much to this song because not only was I coming to understand how politics affect our every day lives, but I felt as passionate as his voice had carried about being an agent of true change and I wanted the fighting and killings of our own by our own to cease. So I decided that would be the message in my lyrics, basically we don't have to go there, he'll we don't even have to position ourselves that way, it could be so much better for us.
Plays to the conscious. It's lyrical but not bar-heavy. It has a fun but for real flow, so maybe along the lines of A$AP Rocky, or J. Cole.
Man I used to be uncomfortable with my rhymes. Like how a song my start really good but then have this anticlimactic ending. So this time around, I focused on my pockets and emotions, matching mood with the music. Also I did some songs on my album that I wanted to still tell my story on but it be fun to learn the words and rap back to yourself like "Insist. " I have so much room to grow and still much to learn but what can I say, this is my story.
I will list a few:
Friends turned enemies
Estranged family
Accountability
Overcoming adversity
Self Love
Bone Thugs N Harmony
Jay-Z
Wiz Khalifa
T.I.
Jeezy
Future
Kaytranada
Curren$y
Smart, for the people, an empathizer and sympathizer, great delivery, well-rounded.
Smart, for the people, calming, motivating.
2 Pac, I could learn so much on stage presence and there is just a certain level of education in his showmanship that can't be duplicated, the Michael Jackson of rap.
Tupac
Michael Jackson
Bone Thugs and Harmony
Their respective bodies of work are impeccable, each influenced an entire decade or more of musicians and artists, that range covers nearly every genre I'm interested in.
Eye Foreign Eye,
Its the second song I've made that made me cry as I wrote it, as it marks a dark time in my life and that was all the strength i could muster at the time to do a song despite the troubles I'd faced at the time, it saved me.
I'm not sure, but it would be scenic and outdoors!
Kodak Black
Wiz Khalifa
Jay Z
Rick Ross
Future
Key Glock
J. Cole
