Toronto hip-hop R&B enigma Swavy unleashes his much-anticipated debut mixtape, Different Breed, via Reps Up Records/Columbia Records.
The project arrives alongside a captivating new mini-documentary detailing his journey and rise so far.
Across thirteen dynamic tracks, Swavy consistently affirms himself as a Different Breed. He sets the tone with the mesmerizing “This Lyfe (Intro).” He delivers rhymes with aggression and introspection in equal measure as he reflects on his come up. It culminates on the confession, “I know this life…I wouldn’t change for nothing.” The head-nodding “Backstreets” layers ethereal synths over 808s as his energetic cadence takes hold. It builds towards the chantable chorus, “I be running out the backstreets, pull out the coupe like oh!” Then, there’s “Take Advice.” He opens up about a toxic relationship through woozy and emotionally charged melodies. Coming full circle, the mixtape concludes with “Outro.” Gripping strings and heavenly piano uplift a heartfelt plea, “My blessings is coming, take me from the moment,” as he urges, “Keep going.” In order to bring this vision to life, he collaborated with top-flight producers such as LIOHN [Lady Gage, Elton John, Drake] and Klahr [Swedish House Mafia, Bree Runway, Drake] as well as TheBoyKam [Yung Bleu, Nicki Minaj, G-Eazy] and Adrian Allahverdi [Gunna, Roddy Ricch, Ali Gatie].
Right now, Swavy is crisscrossing the continent, traveling with Drake and 21 Savage on the It’s All A Blur Tour.
Stay tuned for much more from Swavy coming soon including the official video for “Fallback Queen”. It’s the year of the “lone wolf”…
