The Many Lyrical Faces of TwiZza
As I've said before I'm from the South and, being the musical lover that I am, I enjoy hearing sounds that embody our region and its musical landscape. Without a doubt TwiZza's "U-Haul" is definitely one of those songs that does just that.
The beat is a minimal concoction of snare hits, a BOOMING bass line and, strangely enough, bird chirps (Love it!). It's the perfect musical backdrop for TwiZza's wickedly brash and funny lines as he raps lyrics like, "Thug muhfuckinlicious/You know I'm so delicious/Don't front I see you looking/Wanna bite of these chocolate cookies?"
If that doesn't catch your attention then the infectious chorus will as TwiZza confidently chants, "He like the way I back it up like a U-Haul truck/He like the way I back it up like a U-Haul truck..."
While it's clear that TwiZza has a sense of humor this ATL (originally NC) emcee can also be thought-provoking as is apparent on the reflective track "That's Why." With fellow artist, Cadence, to back him up and a reggae flavored beat TwiZza lays bare his reasons for escaping reality with lines like", "So it's vultures in my cup with Vodka/To avoid the prescriptions by these fucked up doctors...It's the fact that I'm losing my religion unless I close my eyes/Unless the Hennessy is fueling the spaceship that I'mma ride."
TwiZza is definitely an artist to look out for and if you like what you hear then check out "That's Why" and "Bang Bang" on his MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/twizzamusic
