La'Reonte Wright (born November 26, 1990) is an American rapper better known by his stage name Dizzy Wright. In December 2011, Wright signed to rapper Hopsin's independent record label Funk Volume. After signing he released his debut studio album SmokeOut Conversations in April 2012. He followed that with The First Agreement in December of that year, and then a mixtape The Golden Age in August 2013. Following touring with Hopsin in early 2014, Dizzy Wright released State of Mind, an EP that would peak at number 54 on the Billboard 200. On May 22, 2015, he released his second full-length studio album The Growing Process which peaked at number 47 on the Billboard 200.

Early life

Wright looked up to Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, of which his uncles Layzie Bone and Flesh-N-Bone are members.[1][2] At the age of four he moved with his mom and siblings to Las Vegas, Nevada.[3] He began rapping at just 8 years old with the group DaFuture which included his brother and a very close friend. His mother wrote his raps at the time and was a concert promoter so he was exposed to the music industry early even doing youth reporting at major awards shows like the BET Awards and interviewing Tyrese, St. Lunatics and Boyz II Men. He credits this for being the reason he wants to stay away from major record labels and stick to independent labels.[4] In seventh grade Wright lived in a homeless shelter with his family for five months.[5] Throughout the rest of high school Dizzy lived in Georgia and California before moving back to Las Vegas when he was in twelfth grade.[6] In 2010, Wright took part in and won the Sheikh Music Rip the Mic competition, which impressed record label Funk Volume.[7] In 2010, he also appeared on 106 & Park's Wild Out Wednesday, as Dizzy D Flashy.[8]

Musical career

2010–2012: Signing to Funk Volume and Smokeout Conversations

In 2011, Dizzy Wright released his mixtape, titled Soul Searchin' Next Level, which would be a final release under the Bluestar Records.[9] In 2012, Wright signed to rapper Hopsin's independent record label Funk Volume.[10] Wright's debut album, titled Smokeout Conversations was released on April 20, 2012, in honor of the annual marijuana type-of "holiday" under Funk Volume label. The album features a sole guest appearance from SwizZz and includes the single "Can't Trust Em".[11][12] The album peaked at number 42 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number eight on the US Heatseekers Albums charts.[13] Months later, Wright released a reloaded version of a mixtape, titled Free SmokeOut Conversations, which has been downloaded over 170,000 times.[7] This mixtape features guest appearances from a fellow rapper and his label-mate Hopsin, and SwizZz. It also contains his single "Independent Living". Not withstanding the original plan to release the mixtape prior to the album, but then instead Dizzy released the album.[1] The album's success allowed him to perform on a national 30-day headlining tour following its release.[7]

He capped off the year performing on the Funk Volume Tour 2012 with Hopsin, Swizz and Jarren Benton. On December 3, 2012, Dizzy released his debut extended play, titled The First Agreement EP.[7] The EP is named after Don Miguel Ruiz's book The Four Agreements.[4] Its lead single from the EP was released for "Fly High" and contains a guest appearances from Jarren Benton, Irv Da Phenom and Man-Like-Devin.[14] The EP debuted at number 41 on the US R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and number 25 on the US Top Rap Albums charts.[13] Dizzy has hinted at the releases of more chapters in the series.[4]

Guest appearances on the mixtape included Wyclef Jean, Hopsin, Joey Bada$$, Jarren Benton, SwizZz, Logic, Kid Ink and Honey Cocaine among others. Along with production from DJ Hoppa, Rikio, Kato, 6ix, and Cardo.[21][22] The mixtape was released for free, and for purchase on iTunes on August 19, 2013.[23][24] Due to its retail release, the mixtape debuted on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart at number 39 becoming his highest charting project at the time.[25]

Wright announced plans to drop The Second Agreement EP, and then his second studio album after the release of the mixtape.[26] On December 18, 2013, he was named a runner-up for "Rising Star of the Year" by HipHopDX.[27] Starting 2014, Wright begun touring with Hopsin on the Knock Madness world tour.[28] He was also featured on Knock Madness, on the song "Who's There?" also featuring label mate Jarren Benton.
