Man, it’s been a minute since I’ve heard a track that actually delivers what it promises on the tin. But here comes DZOL with “Go Out and Get It,” a 3-minute-and-change banger that’s got me reaching for the rewind button like it’s 1994 and I’m wearing out my cassette deck.
Let’s cut to the chase – this joint is sitting pretty at #3 on the DJ Digital Chart, rubbing shoulders with big dogs like Drake and Cardi B. Not bad for a dude most folks hadn’t heard of until recently, right?
So who is DZOL anyway? Turns out he’s been grinding away since the early 2000s, when Sharon Ford (the head honcho at We Rollin’ Records) spotted him while working at some manufacturing factory in Maryland. Back then, he was rolling with the handle “Pimp Dzol” – yeah, I know, but hey, the 2000s were a different time, kids.
First time I cranked up “Go Out and Get It,” that bass hit me like a brick to the chest. Produced by Sam Peezy (one of those behind-the-scenes dudes who’s worked with everybody but your mama), the beat gives DZOL plenty of room to flex that deep-ass baritone of his. Sounds like he gargled with gravel and whiskey before hitting the booth, but in the best way possible.
What struck me wasn’t just how hard the track bangs (though it does), but how the dude means every damn word he spits. “I’ve experienced so many road blocks; but stayed the course and maneuvered every curve and slippery slope,” he said in a recent interview. No kidding, brother. This ain’t some trust fund kid playing dress-up – DZOL’s been in the trenches.
The Baltimore native paid his dues opening for Migos on their DAB Tour back in 2016, then warmed up crowds for Ja Rule and Ashanti. That’s the kind of apprenticeship that seems almost quaint in today’s “blow up overnight on TikTok” scene.
Y’all remember when artists actually had to, you know, perform? When they had to win over hostile crowds one show at a time? That old-school path is exactly what DZOL’s been walking. And it shows in every bar on “Go Out and Get It.” There’s weight behind his words that you just can’t fake.
The production is tight as hell, too. Recorded at Tony’s Factory Studio in Atlanta, the track has that crisp, professional sound that used to be the exclusive domain of major labels. Credit Sam Peezy and the CSP Music Group crew founded by Christopher Starr for that. These cats have worked with everyone from Beyoncé to Ed Sheeran, so they know their way around a mixing board.
But don’t get it twisted – this ain’t no sanitized, focus-grouped corporate product. DZOL’s previous tracks (“Turnt Up,” “Own That,” and “I Rocks”) had that raw club energy, and while “Go Out and Get It” shows growth, it doesn’t sacrifice that hungry edge that made him interesting in the first place.
You’ve gotta respect We Rollin’ Records’ hustle, too. Founded in the late ’90s and officially incorporated in 2013, they’ve been building brick by brick in an industry that’s seen more changes than Madonna’s hairstyles. Sharon Ford hooked DZOL up with Don Vito (Future’s producer) for his early stuff, then later connected with CSP Music Group. That’s the kind of networking and relationship-building that used to be the backbone of the music biz before algorithms took over.
Word is DZOL‘s got a whole EP in the can, just waiting to drop. If “Go Out and Get It” is any indication, it’s gonna be worth the wait. In his Q&A with Dirty South Radio, the man cited Tupac as his main influence, and I can hear echoes of that – not in trying to sound like ‘Pac, but in that same blend of street wisdom and aspirational fire.
The track’s been blowing up on socials too – nearly 200K Spotify playlist followers ain’t nothing to sneeze at. But what’s dope is that DZOL didn’t chase virality. No dance challenges, no beefs manufactured for clicks. Just a solid track that connects because it’s real.
“Go Out and Get It” stands tall by sticking to fundamentals: dope beat, authentic lyrics, and delivery that makes you believe every word. Bottom line? In a world full of microwave meals, DZOL’s serves up slow-cooked soul food. And damn, does it taste good.
