Youssef, known as DizzyTooSkinny, was recognized early on as someone to watch. He found mentors among Alexandria stalwarts such as Batistuta and Afroto, as well as Ahmed G, the founder of the studio and production company that Dizzy considers his second home, Into My Mind.

Dizzy’s raps, infused with unapologetic Auto-Tune, reveal him as something of a rap futurist, using technology in music as a tool to create his sound and leave his own mark. He represents a new breed of rapper and is just getting started.
