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 ↴
I popped out like titties in a catfight
It's time to get acquainted to the fast life
Dumb niggas get left like a voicemail
So I could give a fuck what your cash like
That's right, I'm so different I might Act right
Rolling like the wheels on a halfpipe
Headed to shoot up your school campus
Don't get your panties in a bunch - Brady
Lately I've been having a hunch
My nigga is talking about me behind my back (Damn)
How you gon' do me like that? (Look)
I learned that loyalty is rare
And most niggas can't afford it (Yep)
You attained a little success and assumed your best friend wants a portion (No)
See I don't need a handout when I standout all by myself
And when I do help, I expect nothing in return
Motherfucker, it's just how I'm built
No shame on the shelf is left
I'mma feed these niggas
My mouth is a chopper, boy, and I'mma squeeze that trigger
Anybody can get it
I ain't talking to anybody specific
Your mom and dad, or the team that's with ya
Motivated by the love, inspired by the hate
Gossiping is feudal cause it doesn't change a thing
Addicted to the feel, attracted to the chase
I'm rushing to the top, I'll meet you at the block (Yep)
Say it louder
Flow so sweet, make a nigga turn sour
Patch kids, we active and we on it
It took a little while, but I'm commin'
Open wide and I'mma feed you
When you talk that shit, don't be surprised what it leads to
Nobody's here to compromise or please you and truth be told, dumb niggas, we don't need to
I'm in the lane by my lone, still movin'
Not affected by the phonies, still movin'
Making it right with my homies, still movin'
Zoom in, nigga, come and take a look at it
Now zoom in and take a look at it
It's been a minute since I left, but I'm still at it
Still a savage, just had to kick a couple habits
Now niggas straight-jacket
Insane with the flow, bitch
On the grind, working both shifts
I'm the one, yeah, no shit
"I heard FV was in my city and I'm staring at the flier
And all I see is Hop and Dizzy, I wonder why no SwizZz"
Well, I've been dwelling on the same thing
Contemplating my motive and what the fame brings
Family drama made it difficult to maintain
Tired of my dad tripping, urging me to change lanes (Fuck)
He's telling me I shouldn't have left school
I ain't cut out to be a rapper (Yep)
Plus I only have a year and a half left, I should go back and get my Bachelor's
Now thanks for the input, but I been put here to carry out a motherfucking vision
I know you're concerned and you're worried created doubt
I hear you but I refuse to listen
LISTEN! I'm itchin' to get involved, overlooked and underrated, ready to kill'em all
Obligated to the fans who waited, anticipating, remain impatient for me to get my shit together and release a damn song
Wrong, I'm right were I belong (Where's that?)
Heavenly pot, whose kush inside the bong
Trouble on my mind, got the world in my palm
Ink spilling on the page, lettin' life correspond
I'm still moving, I'm still romping (Yep)
I'm still the loony nigga, shit talking (Yep)
I still got three Z's on the name ho
And still reppin' the West, in case you ain't know
The first verse of SwizZz's Zoom In talks about his unique and different style of living life, how he doesn't care about money or material possessions. He then goes on to speak on loyalty and how rare it is to find loyal friends. He tells how he has learned not to depend on anyone for success and when he helps someone, he expects nothing in return. SwizZz is saying he's self-made and doesn't need any help from anyone. The second verse is where he reflects on his past and what he's been through, including family drama and being overlooked in the rap game. He talks about his determination to succeed and how he's still working hard despite what anyone says.
