T-Pain invited Tay to appear on both of his albums, Rappa Ternt Sanga (2005) and Epiphany (2007), and when it came time to pick his first artist to represent his brand new venture Nappy Boy Digital, Pain chose Dizm. Tay was also handpicked to appear on a number of hard hitting tracks including "She Got It" with 2 Pistols, "Who Da Heck is Dat" with Dolla and "G-5" with Huey. With a web wide release for Tay's own first single "Beam Me Up" as well as a strong push at nationwide radio mix shows, Dizm's sound is starting to take the entire country by storm. "I'm just myself, I'm not really trying to be nobody," explains Tay. "I talk about real stuff, stuff that I've been through, when I was coming up as a child. I ain't on that dope boy stuff 'cause the dope game fucked my whole family up so I really can't support it."
With a rhythmic mixture of hip-hop, R&B and soul, Tay strives to make uplifting music that touches on his personal journey and aims to empower his listeners. "I'm out here to let people know there really is hope and anything that you stick your mind to can happen," he says. "I feel like if I can do it, anybody can do it. Nobody gave me nothing so for real man, anything is possible."
Tay's debut album, Welcome to the New World, will be released through Nappy Boy Digital early next year and boasts an array of high level collaborators such as Chris Brown, Jim Jonsin, Bangladesh and off course T-Pain. With an amazing team around him and a superstar behind him, Tay Dizm is destined to be a driving force in pop music. Oooohwee!
