‘Malibu cruising music’ is one of the best descriptions of Cali’s latest Hip Hop sensation Shwayze. Shwayze brings a new feel to West Coast Rap, with his indie/alternative vibe and laid back lyrics. Accompanied by the vocals and acoustic guitar of Whitestarr front man Cisco Adler, Shwayze brings a chill “summertime in the life of a stoner” edge to a sound that could be reminiscent of Gym Class Heroes.

The self-proclaimed “only Black kid in Malibu” uses his self-titled debut album to discuss the good life in his hometown, which proves to be a nonstop party. Filled with hot girls, dope lyrics and an acoustic guitar, Shwayze gets the point across that he’s in it to have fun.

Shwayze first met up with Cisco during a Whitestarr performance in ’05 at Malibu Inn. He jumped on stage and started freestyling while Alex Orbison played drums in the background, and since then he and Cisco have been working together to produce something fresh for the Hip Hop scene. Shwayze gained much attention with his live performances and will be appearing in this summer’s Warped Tour, which kicks off on June 20th in Pomona, California.

In the meantime, catch Shwayze tonight at Crash Mansion in L.A.
