Moodswingaz

Moodswingaz has been played on NTS shows including Ted Draws, with The Blessin' (Boom Bodya Da) (Clean Mix) first played on 2 July 2019.

Established in 1996 they came up with the name Mood Swingaz, because of each persons radically different style and personality. In between then to now theyve gone through enough trials and tribulations for two episodes of Behind the Music and got a quick education in Music Business 101. This would have discouraged most people but they harnessed their frustration and flipped it into determination to create a stunning debut album. The production force that swings Mood Swingaz, A.T.M.R. explains despite their hiatus there is a huge audience for the new album. When we all startedit was never a joke. We all wanted to do something because we are all cousins and brothers. We sold 20,000 copies of The Blessing and that was huge! Ive just seen them progress and grow..I know cats will feel them because this is how they really areactual. Theres no pretension involved with them. Another producer and the Swingaz resident engineer, Baadaaw adds, Were all doing what we feel in our hearts is right to do and thats the music.

Similar to a vintage cabernet, Swingaz musical style has developed into a complex blend of bluesy soul, unexpected samples and extra tight rhymes. The Swingaz cut their lyrical teeth battling MCs and joining ciphers wherever and whenever they could. T-HAZE elaborates on how the group has developed from hip hop fans into hungry, rhyme veterans. We didnt realize how big The Blessing was until we went on the road and started doing shows. Then we came with the Mood Swingaz Anthem and now we have the EP. Weve been gradually making it happen. We grew as people so out flow had to change of coursenot just the rap thing but I have to go harder at everything in life. Its time to do this now.
