Meezy Fettachinni Dakaprio, a name that’s as unique as his sound, is a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop scene. With roots that trace back to a family deeply involved in music, it’s clear that Meezy’s passion runs through his veins. He recalls the influence of his two aunties and their singing group, “Elegance” and his cousin’s and uncle’s group called “Chillie Base Crew”, as the spark that ignited his journey into music. But Meezy is quick to remind us: “It’s not where you’re from, it’s how you come.”
With a string of impressive features in major publications like Tha Source, The Hype Magazine, GENZHIPHOP, Prove Magazine, MaxedHipHop, and Hiphop Paradise Magazine, 2024 has been a year of major milestones for the Oklahoma-based artist. He even got the nod of recognition from The Shade Room, a feat that speaks volumes about his rising star. Meezy’s music is more than just beats and bars; it’s real, heartfelt, and full of energy. “Energy doesn’t lie,” he says, and that authenticity is something his fans can feel in every track.
His style? It’s not about trends. “Never much for the dab, I’m stuck in this SWAG,” Meezy declares. This attitude is mirrored in his approach to collaboration. He keeps things simple and real, preferring to work independently and avoiding the complexities of many collaborations. After all, he’s been through enough in his life to know what’s important — and that’s staying true to himself.
His journey hasn’t been without its struggles. Meezy served 8 years in penitentiary — a period that temporarily derailed his music career. Before his sentence, he was opening for major acts like B Hamp and H-Town. His past choices led him down a dark road of selling drugs and gangbanging, which caught up to him in 2013. But adversity didn’t break him. As he says, it was just “a minor setback for a major comeback.” After his release, Meezy has been hustling harder than ever to make up for lost time.
One of his biggest achievements to date? His song was licensed for the movie Tazmanian Devil, a recognition that stands as a testament to his resilience and growing influence in the industry. And while he doesn’t take his father’s advice lightly — “Never get stuck doing something you don’t love” — Meezy is committed to his craft for life, no matter what.
As for the future? Meezy’s eyes are set on his upcoming single, “SNAPSHOT,” which promises to capture his journey and energy in a whole new light. So, be sure to check out his latest tracks and keep up with his rise in the industry.
