Many independent recording artists are anxious to get picked up by a big label, but Las Vegas MC Dizzy Wright is not in a rush to sign away his artistic control to a major.

Dizzy recently stopped by the Yahoo! offices for an interview with The Aftermath, the best music discussion on the 'net. He discussed his latest mixtape, Smokeout Conversations, why he is happy to be independent, how he manages to make positive music without being corny and being one of the first Vegas rappers to generate a buzz outside of the city.
