Buzzin' is the perfect word to describe Shwayze. Being the protege of prominent musician Cisco Adler, the rapper makes his name through two successful singles at relatively the same time. By August 2008, two tracks from his upcoming and self-titled debut album have graced the Billboard Hot 200 chart, building pavement to a promising career start.
Shwayze first introduced himself and his distinct style of music through the single "Buzzin'" in May. The single surprisingly generated lots of good response from fans, mainly due to its unique combination of rap and melodic verse, the latter which is supplied by Adler. The alternative hip-hop sound soon became popular among music lovers, especially with the addition of "Corona and Lime".
A 22-year-old rapper coming from Malibu, Shwayze self-proclaimed to be the only black kid in the rich community although he literally lived in a trailer park. Out from the view, he relied on sheer chance while watching a Whitestarr concert and took the stage to show who he got. From a trailer park to a recording deal, he showed that determination can bring someone to a better life.
Not only his first album is coming out on August 12, Shwayze has also garnered a deal with MTV for a reality show aptly titled "Buzzin'". Together with Adler, hi tour manager Warren Gumpel and Suretone Records head Jordan Schur, Shwayze provide an inside look to his journey to stardom. "Buzzin'" has been premiered on MTV on July 23.
Shwayze's story of success is considerably short, taking in mind that gut was all he needed to achieve his dream. The rapper who shows his face in the rap scene with his tracks "Buzzin'" as well as "Corona and Lime" did have a personal struggle early in his life that brought him a greater courage in taking his life direction to a better future. He was born Aaron Smith in 1986 in Malibu, California. While the region he grew up in is closely attached to the high lifestyle and the luxury it's drenched with, Shwayze settled on the less prosperous side of the town. He lived in a trailer park, juggling his time to work at several jobs while helping his grandfather as a handyman. "Everyone else pretty-much got sick of me," he said, "and the only choice I really had was working for my grandfather, a handyman, as his assistant installing doors and windows, and fixing light bulbs for old ladies..." It was before he did the unthinkable. » more
