With the gimmicky and outlandish facades penetrating the rap game, Swag has risen to the occasion to carry the streets on his back and answer the call to arms by prominent rap artist like T.I. and Young Jeezy to represent the folks grinding day to day, by any means necessary. With his urban bravado and authentic style, Swag has created nothing short of a following in his native West Covina, and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Now the time has come to present the world with his guide to the good, the bad and the ugly in the lifestyle of a true street soldier, with his Warner Music Group debut, “The Blueprint of a Hustler”. To say Swag created his own diagram is a serious understatement: he’s been rapping since the age of 13, signed a record deal at the age of 19 and released one major-label album (The Afterparty, Sony, 1999) with his own Paper Route Records imprint. Under the name Goldberg Slim, he generated an underground buzz with mixtape “D-Boy Music: The Mixtape”. The streets responded by snatching his album and mixtapes out of the mom and pop record stores and car trunks in loads. With a solid fan base along the entire West Coast, Swag is ready to reel in the rest in slow with his latest project. Skillful at not only his lyrical deliverance but in overcoming his discouraging adolescent and young adult years, Swag made the transition from nothing to something look relatively easy. However, the journey was anything but troublesome. Raised in the heart of South Central Los Angeles and later West Covina, California, Swag gravitated towards rap’s late 80’s era. Legends such as Big Daddy Kane and Easy-E were some of his early inspirations. Actually, Swag’s most nostalgic memory was listening to K-Day. Unfortunately for Swag, the golden era of rap coexisted with the crack epidemic in America’s urban communities. Music was unable to guard him from the effects of the plague. Barely a teenager, Swag was forced to fend for himself after the death of his mother, a single parent. By the early 90’s Swag found himself completely immersed in the gang life and what came along with it. Able to overcome a daunting jail sentence, Swag relocated to the Pacific Northwest where he had relatives, with an even greater appreciation for hip hop. “Hip hop is what kept me alive while I was locked up. I would be in the hole for twenty three hours a day. I was rapping constantly as something to do.” It was in the Pacific Northwest that Swag channeled his pure hustler’s ambition and garnered a swell of attention via live performances in the Seattle and Portland areas. Unfortunately, however, that wasn’t enough at the time to get recognized as a rap artist on the West Coast with southern artists dominating the rap game. But with a drive as aggressive as his music and a vital ally in childhood friend and producer, Khrys Hollywood, Swag quickly inked a deal with Warner Music Group. “Sony Music was on-the-job training,” says Swag. “I appreciated the opportunity, being signed at a young age, but now that I’m older and wiser and appreciate what I have, I feel I’m on a whole different level right now. I experienced a lot since I first started rapping and it’s reflected in “The Blueprint of a Hustler”. Before Swag gets the opportunity to ascend to hip hop’s elite echelon, “The Blueprint of a Hustler” is going to have to acquaint him with the masses that might not be familiar with the hard work he put in under the radar. And he’s begun the process with the hustler’s street anthem, “I’m Up.” Not an official single, the Khrys Hollywood produced track is a fitting introduction to the self-made hustler. “I’m not trying to stunt on anyone,” says Swag. “But I’m not about to shy away from how I get it in”. You can expect more of the same unadulterated candor throughout “The Blueprint of a Hustler”. It doesn’t get any more straightforward than southern-tinged “I Don’t Care”. Toying with the Chop-and Screw rap style, Swag makes everyone aware that he’s not concerned about what anyone thinks or says about him. As unruly as it make sound, one listens to the vibrant club banger “Get In & Get Right” and you’ll want to take the journey with Swag though the life of a bonafide hustler. Giving an unfiltered perspective of a man that made something from nothing, that wasn’t afraid to take chances along the way, “The Blueprint of a Hustler” is a compilation of classic journal entries in the form of a broad spectrum of bangers. From the R&B infused, for-the-ladies track “Do You Mind”, produced and featuring Jon B, to the introspective “U Ain’t Met Real”, Swag piques your intrigue on some many levels. “Nothin’ can compare to what I’ve been through,” says Swag. “I’ve always been a go-getter, by all means. It’s been good thing and it’s been a bad thing. I’m sharing my story by doing what I love. I hope that by doing so, what we hear on the radio won’t be more of the same. It’ll be real talk that we all can relate to.”
