SwizZz

Born and raised in Southern California, SwizZz is not your stereotypical MC. Through his music, SwizZz reveals a wide range of experiences, much of which he credits to his biracial background. He is not, nor does he claim to be, a “thug” or a “gangsta”, but prides himself on being able to reach the masses by being honest about his confrontations with life’s challenges. It is not always glamorous or positive, but you can count on SwizZz being true to himself.

After high school SwizZz got accepted into the University of California at Irvine, but after two years he has decided put his education on hold in order to pursue a career in music. He was having a hard time figuring out what he wanted to major in, and because he couldn’t find anything he was passionate about in school, he didn’t want to continue down a path in which he was not going to put forth 100% of his effort. SwizZz strives for perfection, and quite frankly, mediocrity is not an option.

Since dropping out of college SwizZz has been in the studio, grinding away at his music. While working on all elements of his craft from songwriting and storytelling, to his physical fitness and image, he still finds time to bless the mic with a freestyle session. And SwizZz’s freestyles are always off the top, never written, never rehearsed. Some folks have described his style as “real”, “raw”, “loony”, “creative”, “insightful”, and “authentic”. But however you want to describe him the man is a unique talent.

SwizZz is inspired by all type of music, from hip-hop and alternative rock, to trance and R&B. If you got a hold of his iPod, then you would find Jay-Z, Canibus, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, 2pac, Eminem, DMX, NaS, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, and Circa Survive just to name a few of the many artists that he is a fan of.

A pivotal player in the Funk Volume movement, he plans to help us usher in a whole new era of music and develop up-and-coming artists.

If you need to find SwizZz, he is the basement, writing, producing, working out, and honing the various skills needed to perfect his craft.

Single: Good Morning SwizZzle!

Das Racist

"Das Racist, who took the music world by storm this past March with their debut mixtape Shut up, Dude, is back with a Mishka, Diplo, Mad Decent and Greedhead Entertainment-presented sophomore release titled Sit Down, Man.

Das Racist has enlisted superproducers Diplo, Boi-1da, Scoop Deville, Devo Springsteen and Dame Grease as well as collaborations with El-P, Despot, Roc Marciano, Keepaway, Teen Girl Fantasy, Chairlift and Vijay Iyer to make this one of the hottest projects of the year by one of the most sought after unsigned acts in recent years."

These guys are known for their less-than-serious rhymes, pretty much just havin fun on a beat. I mean, that's what a lot of people like to hear, especially in older times, just people geekin on beats, nothin' wrong with that. The single I posted up is pretty smooth, you're not gonna flip outta your chair from any of the lines, but its definitely a fun track, definitely worth peepin.
