'2 be the man , u gotta beat the man!' Well, when it comes 2 the R&B/HipHop hybrid called Rhythm and Rhyme, Swift is just that, THE MAN. There might be better singers, there might be better MC'S. But when it comes 2 blending the 2, there can be only 1 champion, and that's THE MAN, himself, "The Nature Boy" Marc Swift. Roll wit me.....as we get 2 know the man otherwise known as Gordon G. Trump.Marc Swift considers himself 2 be what u call a lyricologist. "A beat can only go so far. "It's the soundtrack but it can't tell u what the movie is about." Growing up listening 2 his father's old school vinyl records, which included everything from Otis Redding 2 RUN-DMC, helped him develop his love 4 music as well as his passion & knack 4 writing lyrics. He penned his 1st song, 'Personality', at the age of 10 and recorded it the same year when he joined a kid group called 4 Your Pleasure. 4YP would be just one of many groups that he would be in from grammar school to high school on his way 2 a solo career.In 1999, Swift signed with small independent label, Big Boyz Records. During his stint with the label, he recorded a cover of George Michael's classic pop ballad 'Careless Whisper'. His version of the song won 10-1 in a head to head tri-state (Arkansas,Tennessee,Missouri) poll, beating out Montell Jordan/Dave Coz's version, with the winner being put into regular rotation on 93.9 KJMM FM. Though he never released an album with Big Boyz, Swift's time at the label gave him many opportunities. He's opened up for some major artists between 2000-06, including Kinfolk Kia Shine and Lil Jon & The Eastside Boyz in Memphis.After contract disputes and publishing issues with the label, Swift, went his own his way. He met a talented prodicer named Kenny "Naplalmz" Fuller and with his friend Tyrone" Vossi" Cain they decided 2 start a movement called TRUMP LIFE, which means '2 HOLD THE WINNING HAND IN THIS GAME CALLED LIFE.' Swift explains, "Trump Life isn't something u put on in the day and take off at night. It's a lifestyle and a way of thinking that exudes excellence." With his forthcoming album Roll Wit Me.........coming soon, Swift hopes 2 take his brand of Rhythm & Rhyme and the Trump Life brand 2 Roc-a-fella-like proportions. As it's been said before, '2 be the man u gotta beat the man!' It looks like Swift plans on the being the man 4 a long, long time. "Learn 2 live with ,learn 2 love it. Cause it's the greatest thing goin 2day WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!-THE NATURE BOY
