For his debut single as NIZZY GET GOOD, the Chicago hip-hop artist chose “Wipe It Down” because it gets at a few themes close to his heart.
It is also — with an upbeat tempo and a seesaw melody in electronic strings and horns — fun to listen to. When the bass line and the rap kick in, the ear is hooked.
He wanted a track in which he could talk about things like manifestation and visualization.
“At the same time, you don’t want it too complex,” he said. “You want the debut to instantly catch on so they can play it in the studio, you can play it in the club, you can play it anywhere — at a party, in all walks of life. Then you can do all the complex stuff later.”
He says the Chicago in it is the difference, and he and his brother — his producer, who created the beat — make music from how they are feeling in the moment but with the themes he wants to emphasize.
The result is what he calls “manifestation rap.” In his music he is manifesting the success he wants to achieve. The lyrics visualize the success he wants. He is serious about that. He is also serious about creating listenable music.
“Even though it’s hip hop and it’s rap and it’s the genre, the music is more, I would say, like a Beethoven type of thing or Mozart, where you could just listen to the beat and it raises your energy.”
Or, as he says, “It’s music that raises your vibration. When you listen to it, it makes you happy.”
In Chicago, “wipe it down” means taking care of business, handling business, making money, “doing what you said you was gonna do, keeping it going and keeping it flowing.”
NIZZY is creating music that shows people how to be happy and, by being happy and positive, how to “manifest what they want” — to see it and get it.
NIZZY has been here before. He put out a lot of music under the name Don Nizzy. He is planning on putting out a lot more under the name NIZZY GET GOOD.
“The main thing is shooting videos and dropping singles,” he said. One in the works will be called “Rush Hour.” An album he is working on will be called The Art of Finesse. It will have 13 tracks “because 13 is my lucky number.”
“Finesse,” another Chicagoism, is one more theme he wants to develop It means deal making. It means getting the deal done, but with “delicacy.”
“No one walked away feeling like somebody made a move on them,” he said.
Get the deal done and connect to NIZZY GET GOOD on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.
