Wizz Havinn: It's all about embracing fame and fam in the 'Life's A Gamble' music video

There’s no slowing down what hip-hop artist Wizz Havinn is serving up these days. The rap artist isn’t just dropping new songs, it’s about getting the cameras rolling too as the new ‘Life’s A Gamble’ visual proves.

There’s no slowing down what hip-hop artist Wizz Havinn is serving up these days. The rap artist isn’t just dropping new songs, it’s about getting the cameras rolling too as the new ‘Life’s A Gamble’ visual proves.

It’s all eyes on Wizz going on shopping sprees and hitting the block with a two-wheeler. Get caught up with the cinematic glow up.

Staying cool, calm, and collected as he navigates the rap game, Wizz Havinn always knows when to hold 'em. Confidently rolling the dice on his ability to make it out of his hood, Wizz explores his mindset in "Life's A Gamble," his new music video. Built on an aqueous flute riff and gently rollicking drums, "Life's A Gamble" is a sterling example of Wizz's laid-back, yet motivational style, as he makes clear what sets him apart from an average joe: "They're like, damn Wizz your motherf*ckin' wrist crazy/I took a lot of L's but these n****s think that sh*t gravy/I'm really havin' sauce, n****, too wavy/That lil' n**** ain't winnin' cause he's too lazy." In the video, directed by DayDream Visuals and with animation by Phillip Timothy, Wizz hosts his squad in the Tallahassee swamp, as the visuals reflect the comic book aesthetic he cultivated on his new mixtape Super Wizz.

A kinetic collection of hustle-hard hood anthems, the 18-track Super Wizz is a sterling example of the new Tallahassee sound ("Tallahassee has made a major stamp on the world," says Wizz. "We came out with a sound that nobody's ever heard."). Wizz is known for his laid back flow, which helped define the sound of the rising Tallahassee scene, but his blasé demeanor belies his superhuman focus on stacking paper. In his own words, Wizz makes music that "makes you want to get your own money"–he learned to rhyme to escape his circumstances, and he hopes to be a shining example for others in his community. The new mixtape is home to singles like "Eminem," a collaboration with the similarly soft-spoken Detroit rapper Veeze, "Real Drip" ft. YTB Fatt, and the Ddot Freezing-produced "Check Me." Featuring additional appearances from Jeezy, Wizz's fellow master motivator, and Lil Double 0, Super Wizz is available everywhere via Open Shift Distribution.

With his new project under his belt and much more to come, Wizz Havinn's hood heroics are just beginning.
