About Swift

Widening the scope of alternative metal, Swift delivers thick pushing rhythms, mostly relying on strong bass and drum sections. Coming from Salem, NC, Swift relies on a four-piece, team consistent lineup. Vocalist Gary Forsyth, guitarist Mikey Gentle, bassist Billy Deal, and Jamie King (drums) have guaranteed Swift's better creations since they first got together in 1998. After rehearsing and performing regular gigs locally for more than a year, the quartet delivered their first album, Thoughts Are Thoughts, in 1999. Enjoying respectable acclaim, the unit also started gathering a loyal fan base. During the two years that followed, the group continued to gather a considerable following, also preparing what turned out to be their second full-length. Waging War hit record stores in 2001, continuing to proclaim Swift's intrepid and disturbing metal-style themes. ~ Mario Mesquita Borges, All Music Guide

T.I. & Jay-Z Feat. KanYe West & Lil' Wayne
If the 80s saw New York rappers rule the roost in the USA and the 90s saw the rise of East Coast rappers such as Dr Dre. and Snoop Dogg, its safe to say that the 00s have seen the South come to be the major force in commercial Hip Hop. Enter Atlanta born rapper T.I. whose latest album, Paper Trail, looks set to storm into the number one slot in the US album charts and help solidify a real shift in power that has been bubbling in the last 10 years with rappers such as Ludacris, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy. On Swagger Like Us T.I. uses a sample from British artist M.I.A., one of the few artists who is as hot as T.I. himself right now in the States, and then assembles a dream team of rappers including Jay-Z. Lil Wayne and KanYe West to create a track that is predictably going down a storm for hip hop fans. Also predictably, Swagger Like Us treads the familiar lyrical territory of women, cash, clothes, guns and rhyming ability. But hey, when the beats are this banging and the rappers are this profile who cares? To paraphrase Tim Westwood, THIS IS BIG IN THE GAME!
