Izza Kizza drops new track, KizzaLand mixtape to follow

You may have forgotten that Valdosta, Ga. existed since watching that one episode of Mr. Show back in the '90s, but Izza Kizza is out to remind you that the epicenter of the hip-hop world right now is the South. And it's not like he's asking for much. All the up-and-coming acolyte of Mosley Studios wants to do is redefine the southern hip-hop game entirely with his upcoming KizzaLand mixtape, which features collaborations with Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Keri Hilson, Nelly Furtado and 88 Keys. The newest track Kizza dropped is "11even 12elve," a thumping club banger that cops a chorus line from a particularly memorable Sesame Street cartoon (hint: think pinball.)

The music video for "11even 12elve" does just that too, taking you for a stroll down memory lane vis-à-vis everyone's favorite junky '80s cartoons:



The KizzaLand mixtape, meanwhile, drops July 29 on Izza's MySpace, for free (FREE NINETY NINE?!?), so steel yourself for a blast of hip-hop-induced nostalgia.
