Swordz, (from the group One Blood) who is currently signed with the up and coming independent label Hoodlife Records is releasing his much anticipated debut album “The Heart of a Solider” In Feb 2005. “The Heart of a Solider”, is a concept album that relates the thoughts, theories and struggles of the artist, as a result of his experiences in life. Swordz embodies the voice of the streets telling with raw uncut conviction the situations that surround and impact an undying culture. With a hard hitting single like “Lay ‘em Down” (featuring Life) and an overall combination of forceful lyrics, dope production and a untouchable level of energy this album will become a staple for others to follow. “Lay ‘em Down” is currently getting spins on specialty shows all over the country. Over 9,000 copies of the single have been distributed across the U.S. creating a much-warranted buzz for the album. While watching Swordz and One Blood perform on stage, it becomes evident that they are here to mark their territory within the hip-hop culture. Swordz brings a much-needed energetic change to today’s quickly fading, very boring hip-hop show. In Fact, his live show is reminiscent of a rock show. He keeps the heart of the crowd enthralled with the extreme energy he displays during every stage shattering measure. It is very understandable why he has played with the likes of (The Yin-Yang Twins, Jadakiss, Mobb Deep, Blood Raw, Young Buc and Lloyd Banks from G-unit, Lil Flip, Juvenille, Petey Pablo, Gin, Granddaddy Souf, T.I , Trick Daddy, Lil Wayne, & Mannie Fresh just to name a few). Swordz hails from Jacksonville Florida, a city known for changing the face of music, so listener beware their about to do it one mo gen.
