He is best known for significantly collaborating with childhood friend Hopsin, and being signed to their record label Funk Volume, which was co-founded by Hopsin, himself and his older brother Damien “Dame” Ritter.

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. He has released various mixtapes including Haywire with Hopsin, and Good Morning SwizZzle. He is currently working on his untitled debut studio album.

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.

SwizZz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I'mma do something a little different
You want swag? Well, here it is, stop trippin'
I gotta keep it real, non-fiction
I'm here to get loose, let the goose start drippin'
It's about to go the opposite of up
While you get it Yung Joc, it's about to go down
I want to see you back it up like re
Clock in, go to work, clock out and hit the ground

Maybe I'm a fool like that
I throw you dick like a pitcher throw a baseball
I sound rude but you know I don't really mean it
I'm a nice guy, cavalier, [?]
Now get your shovel on if you dig me
Take a couple shots, spin around, get dizzy
Put your camera on flash like titties
Take a picture now, cause we're 'bout to get busy

I'mma let the dog go, I'mma let the cat loose, We about to get wild
I'mma show you how to rock it right here, make it crack with a brand new sound

Blow a cloud and toss it back like yeah

Blackberry, black hat, black tee
Black [?], black rag, black jeans
Black Dunks so yes, I'm mean
I'm ballin' on a budget but fuck, I'm clean
My swag's on a hundred, billion,
Thousand, million, damn I lost count
Somebody hit the lights right now
It's about to get wild, I'mma turn this bitch out
Maybe I'mma rock it like [?]
Rock it like cowboy, rocket like ship
Fuck around and get thrown like a fit
Don't got a lot of cream, but your girl's still whipped
My name's just a little too sharp
I get her naked like juice, then beat it like a heart
(Beat it like a what?) beat it like a heart
When the sun rise to the sun set like [?]

It's 3 o'clock, but you know we don't stop
I won't sleep, but I'll take a double shot
There you go, grim hop to the top
This might put me over but fuck it I'mma rock
I gotta get it [?]
You say you do this all the time, let's see if you can handle it
Now put your hand on my trigger
I can shift back then shoot and clean it up like a swiffer
See [I'ma ride her/I'm a rider] like flow
And I rolls like royce, nigga tell me what it do
See I'm a captain on the track like Mo'
Dippin' in slow mo', pretty lady get a clue
I know I'm a little off the wall
But I'm flyer than a zipper don't let your pants fall

I'm headed to the house so you know just where to meet me at
SwizZzle it's official I'm a natural afrodisiac
