After a few listens to Izza Kizza‘s Connect the Dots, I’m beginning to think the mixtape cut’s title was meant as a challenge; delivering a relentless stream of deadpan punchlines peppered with whacked-out tangents like “Astronauts never knew gravity like this/ My appetizer sits upon a satellite dish/ My entrée—bombs away!” the emcee seems dead set on defying interpretation.  In any case, the ATL native can toss a mean word salad, and his monotone delivery meshes well with the spacey feel of frequent collaborator Koolaide‘s lurching, synth-heavy instrumental.  Complete with a catchy hook by Booth-acclaimed singer-songwriter Colin Munroe, this record will be music to the ears of listeners willing to go with its free-association flow; if you fall into that camp, simply follow the yellow brick road—I mean, grab a copy of Kizza’s The Wizard of Iz mixtape, which is set to deliver plenty more left-of-center bangers when it hits the ‘net this Wednesday.

Kizza's flow is not for everyone, but I like its windy ways. You never know what direction he is headed or what he is going to say (as opposed to all the wack emcees who ALWAYS rap the words "Bub" and "Club")... which is what makes him fun.

PS. Munroe could make a killin off hooks if he chose that path. Nate Dogg he is not, though.

Izza Kizza's lyrics are crazy enough to always keep me interested throughout the track, and his delivery is nice and laid-back but kinda funny at the same time. I feel like he has the personality to become the next big goofball in the rap game (Missy, Busta). Maybe I'm just sayin that because of the Timbo affiliation, but I can se similarities. Anyway the quirky production def fits his style and the hook is aight to go wit the vibe on the track. The real winner here, tho, is Kizza's delivery and punch lines.

I'm with you Z, Munroe killed that chorus! Kizza also does have a distinct flow, but I can definitely dig it once you get used to him.

I love the new techonology spaceship vibe of this song. Izza Kizza has a nice flow and Colin Monroe is dope on the hook! In my rotation for sure

Like Z said, Kizza's flow is not for everyone. If you have good ears, though, you can tell how illy his style is. Colin's hook and in-house producer Koolaide's beat help enhance the out-of-this-world feeling here. REALLY looking forward to his debut album! (since he's signed to Interscope, it shouldn't be long now)

(On a side note, I don't know why he's not getting more Booth acclaim though-one of my favorite styles out there, but for some reason he's last place on the Booth Freestyle Chart).

Izza was good with the track.
Kinda disappointed in Munroe, thought he'd throw a little more flair into the hook.
Good enough for rotation, as both are my boys

Izza Kizza is the most creative MC of all the new generation rappers. He is carving out his own lane and has the courage to make records that don't sound like everyone elses. The track rocks on this, and his voice goes perfect on it. Im also a fan of Colin Munroe, so this is all day everyday two thumbs up heavy rotation for me. Lyrics and all....

Everytime Izza is in the booth his picture just puts me off. But the song is actually better than I anticipated. Colin Munroe added that flavour (English spelling).
@ DJ Nick - true he is, and something that we need because it is missing.

I quote Smokeup, I'm banging my head, too. It's the perfect club song! I'm not mad for Izza's flow, but Munroe sounds great in the hook!

Am I the only one who recognizes how awesome this production is from Koolaide? It goes hard!! I love this song. Probably won't be a fan of Izza though. This is probably that rare song that you love from an artist that you couldn't stand in anything else. But, this one at least goes hard. I'm callin it Banger, cuz it just ain't at classic status yet.
