But it was the heat Stud was tossing off the field that was raising eyebrows and bobbing heads. It wasnโt until the end of his Junior year that Stud would hone his hidden hip-hop skills. After two strong seasons at Duke, including an All-American Freshman year, Tommy John Surgery put Stud on the sidelines. Suddenly rhyming became an outlet to pass the time. But his flow was too impressive to be overlooked. Studโs knack for clever rhymes and witty punches caught the attention of his peers and earned the respect of local artists. One in particular, Gerven, quickly noticed Studโs swagger. One trip to Boston, four tracks and a photo shoot later, the duo launched Mike Stud as we know him. Now a graduate student at Georgetown University, Studโs taking it day by dayโa tough task when your hit single โClub Fantasyโ is bumping non-stop on the radio in Providence and soon to be in Boston and D.C.
Bottom line, the kidโs just what his name suggestsโ-a Stud. Clearly the accomplishments heโs achieved in his life are a testament to his passions. Whether itโs baseball or his academics, Mike Stud has consistently found a way to do things bigger and better than most. With very little musical background, heโs already causing a stir in the industry. Armed with fresh beats and his signature flow, Studโs bringing a smarter type of fresh to the hip-hop scene. The kidโs got it. Now itโs just a matter of time before everyone knows it.

What up dog? I'm the alpha
So you better watch out, bruh
And that goes for anyone around us
Planted the money tree with my only fuckin' seed
Now it's sproutin'
Never had a fuck to give, so I see
No fuckin' point in countin'
Only thing the crib don't got is a fuckin' fountain
So I need a fountain
Tuey so high up that I feel like I live on a mountain
And I'm so high right now I feel like I'm on a mountain
I'm ridin' 'round in a brand new town
With the same old crew that I started with
Yeah the same dudes that I started with
I'm talkin' way back from the start of it
That's the come-up starter kit
Yeah you gotta get it who you want it with
And I'm Mike Trout cause I don't strike out
I switched up, now I'm pitchin' hits
I switched up, now I flip the script
Now my agent send me scripts
And everybody say I need a deal soon
I ain't really gonna make a deal soon
'Cause the TV show 'bout to pop off so
I ain't really gotta make a deal soon, nah
I went lookin' for trouble
Found nothin' I didn't like
I went lookin' for trouble

The size of the checks, you would think that I was still playin' some ball
That's a lot of money
Baby that's a stretch
Shit, maybe I should stretch cause you know I'm 'bout to run it
And if I ever said it then you know I prolly done it
And I'm still your favorite pitcher cause I'm keepin' it a hundred like yeah
I'm not a douche, I just do shit
This is more to me than music
You can only run the game if the shoe fits
And the pen to the page is the blueprint
And when the game's on the line, I'm the stencil
Left my prints on the field like I'm Cecil
Just touched down in Beantown like a lentil
Smokin' out the window in the rental, yeah
And I'm wingin' it, you'd think I had a few Red Bulls, yeah
And my schedule's hectic so that shit's essential, yeah
And I throw back so many drinks I'm feelin' retro, yeah
But it's a new era, no Mitchell & Ness though
I went lookin' for trouble
Found nothin' I didn't like
I went lookin' for trouble
So that's what I'm 'bout to get tonight
Got damn
Who you know got it like this?

I've been goin' up quite a few flights
Nah I ain't fallin' off but you might
True life and I finally got the tunes right
Better cop that shit, red and blue lights
Takin' bottles to the face like I'm Shoenice
Yeah that's that shit that I do like
Nah I ain't gonna puke but Blue might, you right, uh yu
You good? (Yeah)
Turned my life into a lifestyle
That's my life now
Got people tattin' up their skin with every word I write down
Got me like, "Wow"
I guess I'm the one to keep your eye on
In my top five, I'm Dylan
And Dylan and Dylan and Dylan
If my girl Giselle then I'm Tom
And now I'm on your TV screen like, "Hi mom"
Got Gerry up on TMZ like, "Hi mom" (Hi mom)
Swear to God I'm not high, mom
Wait, okay, sorry I lied, mom
Man I told my father I'd be goin' farther
'Cause my flows are harder than a throw from Rowengarter
Broke both my arms and now they both are stronger
Then I dip like Copenhagen, oh my God and
I went lookin' for trouble
Found nothin' I didn't like
I went lookin' for trouble
So that's what I'm 'bout to get tonight
Got damn
Who you know got it like this?
Who you know party like this?
Takin' shots at the bar like swish
Damn

Who you know party like this?
Takin' shots at the bar like swish

In Mike Stud's song Swish, he boasts about his success and how he's come a long way with his friends from the beginning. The first verse of the song talks about his luxurious lifestyle, the money tree he's planted with his only seed, and how he doesn't care about counting his money since that's what his accountant is for. He also mentions how he's high on life and living on a mountain emotionally, which could be a metaphor for the metaphorical peak he's reached in his career. In the chorus, Mike Stud asks who parties and takes shots at the bar like he does, emphasizing how he's living his best life.
In the second verse, Mike Stud delves into his success in the music industry, signing deals without requiring a label involved. He references his past career in baseball, claiming that his checks from music are larger than what he made as a professional athlete. He then crowns himself the "favorite pitcher" because he keeps it real in his rhymes. Mike Stud acknowledges how hectic his schedule can become but maintains a positive attitude about it all. He concludes this verse by stating how he's not living in the past and is instead focused on this new era of his life.
The final verse includes a reference to MTV's show "Making The Band," where the underlying phrase is "Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan" as one of the characters proclaims that he's the best rapper alive. Mike Stud uses this phrase to proclaim his dominance as a rapper and incorporate humor into his lyrics. He also mentions how his father didn't believe in his music career at first, but he kept pushing to achieve success. The song ends with a simple reminder to speak your truth, whether or not anyone else is willing to listen.
