Chattanooga’s own T. Rizer joins Gino D on The Proximity Playlist for an in-depth conversation about the journey behind the music.
From early days experimenting with production to building his own labels and carving out a lane in Southern hip-hop, T. Rizer has taken a hands-on approach to every chapter of his career. He’s not just focused on making records — he’s focused on ownership, growth, and doing things on his own terms.
In this extended sit-down, we talk about the evolution of his sound, what fuels his creativity, performing for live crowds, navigating the realities of social media, and the mindset it takes to stay independent in today’s industry.
We also dive into his upcoming project, Can’t Please Everybody, a release that promises a more personal look into his life and perspective.
It’s an honest conversation about ambition, lessons learned, and what it means to build something where you’re from — and for the people around you. Listen now to the full interview with T. Rizer on The Proximity Playlist.
