If you've been following Milwaukee rapper Pizzle recently, you've probably noticed that he seems to grow by leaps and bounds with each project or single that he releases.

From his verse on the "Green and Yellow" remix that also featured Prophetic, to his album "Fame In Vain," to his recent single featuring Rico Love, Pizzle is showing himself to no longer be a dark horse in the Milwaukee's race to stardom.

Later today Pizzle is releasing a new mixtape called "Insomnia" through website FLYERadio.com, and earlier today he released a video of him absolutely slaughtering a beat with his on-again-off-again chopping style of rapping.

Check out the video and grab the mixtape when it drops and also go back and get "Fame In Vain" online here.
