Madwiz has been appeared to be a bit dormant on the Youtube sphere if you haven’t been to any of his recent shows but he’s back with vengeance with the premiere of his newest visual, “Dramatic“. The brand new video, directed/edited by Brooklyn based director AiP and ChimP, showcases the MC in his Clinton Hill home spittin’ from the heart aggressively and passionately, perfectly in sync with the vibe of the visual. The record itself boasts a high level of lyricism mixed with personality, bouncing over the upbeat instrumental that eventually soothes itself into the nostalgic NY sound in the second half. We caught up with Madwiz to express why he believes this video should be watched and his answer was, well, short and straight to the point:

This shit right here is the return of rap from the heart, to the heart. Just to show that Brooklyn is still the Mecca of this whole genre.

Representing the NY collective Mogul Club, Madwiz makes sure to jam pack every aesthetic necessary in an upcoming Brooklyn MC. The clip also shows Wiz performing the record live while headlining at venues such as SOB’s and Palisades. This record will also appear on his upcoming project “Madwizdom” that has no official release date but can be expected this year. Check out the visual down below and be sure to keep up to date by following him on Twitter here.
