The subject of our forthcoming digital cover and the man behind the highly hyped The Growing Process, Dizzy Wright, is an ideal ambassador for hip-hop's next generation. At the ripe age of 24, Wright has managed to develop a diverse sound for stoners and chillers ever since signing with Funk Volume.
Since summer is upon us and it's time to party, vacate, and relax, and, since Wright is our coverboy this week, we look to Layzie Bone's little nephew from Las Vegas' discography for the best songs to soundtrack the summer.
Crank up the air conditioner and/or whip out the sun tan lotion - let's do this.

Brodee Bro featuring Capo
Brodee Bro's guitar samples are a perfect score for any late night summer blunt cruise. Even though The Golden Age was alleged to have a '90s influence, the sample on Brodee Bro sounds straight from the '70s, so much so that can practically smell the weed smoke and freshly tie dyed white tees. You and your boys can listen to this Bros Before Hoes anthem while your respective cell phones get blown up.
The heavy trap bass on "Bout That Life" is so hypnotic that it stands out as one of the hottest tracks off of The Golden Age mixtape. The song reeks of Bone Thug influence, Dizzy even shouts out his uncle Layzie Bone's fellow Thug-N-Harmony Bizzy Bone saying:
"Hippy nigga drunk and trippy ain't tripping off niggas, I'm 50-50 with the bone Busy nigga listen to Bizzy Bone, little Dizzy had to do it his own"
It's a great presentation of Wright's diverse sound - hugging the line between his old school lineage and modern rap - while also supplying something worth cranking up the bass and the volume in your car and start rattling the concrete.

Reunite for the Night
This pseudo-slow jam is the perfect summer break pregame anthem. Hit up your old school crew while they're in town for the summer, hit play on this bad boy and "this is about to be a party." Even the music video is the perfect portrait of the party atmosphere we all look for during the summer.

Sit back, relax, open a window and let the sensational call-and-response of the keys and strings samples send you away on this eponymous track. It's a track about the power of the spoken word, and Dizzy drops some dope and inspirational bars like:
"They dumbing us down, one by one hunting us down I try not to sound like a preacher But if our daughters and sons are kings and queens they have to be prepped to be leaders."
With Nikkiya supplies serenity singing on the hook, this is the perfect chiller track with some substance to boot.

They say spring is when love is in the air, but the summer heat can bring out the dog inside all of us. On those days where it's one hundred and ten degrees in the shade, this ode to getting it in is the song to turn to. Enjoy the hook, which implores it's female listeners to "bounce some titties for a ni**a," while you can fellas, because catcalling is going out of style fast.

The summer can feel tangential - they don't call it the dog days for nothing. Between down time and lounging in AC to save yourself from summer scorchers, time can seemingly disappear. What better way to fill up some of your extraneous day with a 7 minute cypher with Dizzy and company?
Tell Em My Name

The flutes being sampled and the gang vocal being utilized on the chorus make this track a dead ringer of '90s hip hop anthems of old. The song, which sounds like a halfway marriage between a Blackstar and Tribe Called Quest - except Dizzy's all on his own. It's the perfect titular anthem for the rapper and suitable for summer jamming.
