This was a dream I had when I was eight years old. It\u2019s this far out goal for every musician at the start of their journey. We don\u2019t even know how we\u2019re gonna get there. It feels impossible, but it keeps us in pursuit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rather than slowing him down, the whirlwind only sharpened his focus. \u201cI left the arena inspired,\u201d Bizzy says. \u201cExcited to get back home and into the studio and put all this inspo to work. I\u2019m still processing it all though. Like, did I just win a Grammy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That urgency is embedded in \u201cWDYL,\u201d a late night R&amp;B record that captures Bizzy at a creative peak. The track blends emotional transparency, melodic confidence, and a conversational intimacy that feels effortless yet intentional. Anchored by Bizzy\u2019s reflective delivery and elevated by Ty Dolla $ign\u2019s unmistakable vocals, \u201cWDYL\u201d explores desire, communication, and connection through a modern R&amp;B lens that feels both personal and polished.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration itself reflects the kind of artist Bizzy has aligned with during this new era. \u201cTy is the greatest artist to be signed to because he\u2019s so selfless,\u201d Bizzy says. \u201cHe takes pride in watching his artists shine. His energy is always like, \u2018What do y\u2019all need me to do?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Released via EZMNY Records, the label founded by Shawn Barron and Ty Dolla $ign, \u201cWDYL\u201d follows Bizzy\u2019s recent single \u201c100%\u201d and continues a run that underscores his evolution from elite behind the scenes songwriter to fully realized recording artist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The single also serves as a key preview of Underdogs Win Eventually, Bizzy\u2019s upcoming major label debut project. In an exclusive shared with New Times, he reveals the album will feature Ty Dolla $ign, Leon Thomas, Rick Ross, C Stunna, Benny The Butcher, and Leven Kali, a lineup that mirrors both his Miami roots and his growing national reach.<\/p>\n<p>Still, for Bizzy, the moment isn\u2019t just about accolades or validation. It\u2019s about endurance. After more than a decade of grinding, he sees this chapter as proof that persistence pays off and as motivation for artists still battling self doubt. \u201cGod gave you this dream for a reason. It wasn\u2019t a coincidence,\u201d he says. \u201cYour contribution to humanity is through music. Do not stray off the path. It\u2019s going to get hard. You\u2019re going to be tested time and time again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His advice is blunt and hard earned. \u201cGet away from anyone who doesn\u2019t believe in you. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re friends or family. Lock in,\u201d Bizzy adds. \u201cIf you pass all the tests, your dream will come true and it\u2019ll be greater than you ever imagined. It\u2019s never over. Please never give up on that dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Grammy wins in hand and \u201cWDYL\u201d signaling a confident new era, Bizzy Crook keeps proving that underdogs really do win eventually.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bizzy brought home a Grammy as a credited writer on Leon Thomas\u2019 Best R&amp;B Album, Mutt.
