Chrysalis EP by BENNY BIZZIE
Chrysalis feels evolutionary, vulnerable, authentic, and packed with emotion. We are getting a unique perspective on Benny Bizzie’s musical growth and his embodiment of life experiences and musical gifts. He is choosing to merge many art forms to create a unique serving of rap, melodic songwriting, lyricism, vocal agility, and intricate production. He says
about the creation of the EP: “I did not imagine any of this when I started making music back in Tottenham, writing bars in my Science and Maths exercise books. I had no clue what I was doing and where it would lead. All I knew was I had to keep moving forward, I had to do the one thing I knew how to do, which was to create music and help people where I could. Chrysalis is my 10th EP and saying that is mind-blowing. It literally has been a journey of self and artistic discovery and the best part about it all, is there is still more to discover and become.”
Chrysalis is the breaking free from the caterpillar stage to chrysalis to the adult Butterfly where we spread our wings and fly. The EP represents growth over the years as a musician as well as a person. The subject matter and maturity of Benny Bizzie is evident and a sure sign of evolution. Chrysalis was created to let others see that they are not alone in the early stages of self discovery. We all have to start somewhere as it's the nature of life.
The EP features the singles ‘Drunk N Naked’, ‘Forever’ and ‘Window Frame’ already released with over 500k TikTok views, support from CMU, FAC, Sentric, and Trickstar Radios DJ KXVU. Leading up to the EP, was the elegant music video accompanying ‘Drunk N Naked’ and the punchy 8 bars of Grime on ‘Window Frame’.
