Sitting down with MTV, Dizzy Wright speaks on his early days in rhyming, his time in Las Vegas and California and his thoughts on being picked as the “10 Spot People’s Champion Winner” for the 2013 XXL Freshmen cover.
It’s a blessing. They pick nine people, and they allow one person to get voted on, and my fans [came] through for me. I built a cool fanbase inside of Las Vegas before I went out into the world, but being on the road definitely played in my favor. The fans are really the most important people and the ones who really support you. You do meet-and-greets, you shake hands, you take pictures, you sign autographs, and they remember that.
