Over the past two years, Stizee has been establishing his name in the Coventry rap scene, taking part in shows, and releasing freestyling tracks. He toured in 2019 with TULU (The Underground Link Up) and his own collective, WTO. Inspired by Famous Dex, and DigDat, he&#8217;s also appeared on\u00a0rapper Pa Salieu&#8217;s debut mixtape, &#8216;Send Them to Coventry&#8217;.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for Sizee&#8217;s new track, &#8216;Wave&#8217; takes us behind the scenes of a photoshoot. A natural in front of the camera, he flaunts his clothes, and flashes his cash; along with a range of beautiful women. On &#8216;Wave&#8217; he flexes &#8211; subtly of course &#8211; to make it obvious to his competition that they can&#8217;t keep up with him, and his vibe. The track was produced by Blakseed, three artists from Zimbabwe and The Congo, who in their production take African elements and fuse them with UK influences. Stizee, who&#8217;s lit up under a neon light, invites you to find out what he&#8217;s all about.
