Dick Swift
Hello sober people of whiskeyworld....
I am D.Swift (RIchard Swift,Dick Swift,Nathaniel Guest)I have been raping for almost 11 years now and stil have yet to reach the surface..But to be honest I am really not to interested with a surface that is filled and oveflowing with people who got "spits"
I dropped out of rapping or at least writting "rap" style for awhile due to lack of beats but I have maintained enough to perform shows at least once every month in the bay...
currently starting a east bay under ground hip hop collective to bring us back where we belong(on the top)
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
honestly just a bunh of college radio freestyles and co-hosting appearances and live shows..
no album "released" as of yet
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
