My Interests

Take some time and check out the artist signed with Swindle Productions. Fat Mac, a young man deep from the backwoods of Chatham, Louisiana, had felt for a long time his day would come. At age 17, he moved to Monroe, Louisiana all on his own. Now in a semi- suburban area, Mac, known as a rhythmic tornado, knew there was going to be trouble. Mac was turned on to the game at an early age. Hustling and slick talk was a way of life. Mac was an only child and was raised by his Momma and Grandparents. According to Mac, he got the game from his Momma and the hustle from his Grandpa. Like many others that are hardheaded and hustle where they lay, the spot got hot and Mac had to bounce and leave everything behind. Mac now dwells in the city of Angeles, Los Angeles, CA. Pimping is well known in the underground hip hop scene, and Mac plans to make all M.C's that are in the game (on a fluke), duck because verbals are flying. Mac gives all praise to God and says everything he does is dedicated to his Momma, Grandparents, and Aunt, all of who are resting in peace. So now all my padna, pimp playas, check out how it's really going down Mack'ing is back and its here to stay! TL-FURY was born in Marianna, Arkansas in 1980. Raised in Little Rock Arkansas, TL came to California in 2002 to pursue his music at a higher level. "I'm a country boy coming to the city to make it happen" states TL. “I want to reach my goal of blessing you all with my talents and music.” When asked what artist TL is most like; “I’m most like Mystical and Fiend of No Limit,” replies TL. In 5 years he’d like to be the #1 Artist out there and to be known for his music, which is a brand new style. His style is born of the Heart and Soul of the South- it’s a low-down, dirty vibe that you can bounce too. It’s a style that’s all purely his own. TL put in work opening shows for Industry known artists like Juve, Trick Daddy, Too Short, Slick Rick and many more. TL is not new to the game and 2007 is the year Of TL-FURY! He is a hard working artist that won’t stop till he reaches the top. TL would like you to take a moment and check out his music. If you like his music, tell your friends, better yet, tell TL! Unit- While growing up running the streets and picking up on choices that can give you a 3 to 5 year bid, Unit, born Mark Martinez, stayed ahead of the game never getting caught up in his endeavors. While born and raised in paramount, Unit moved to Anaheim, Ca when he was about 11 years old. Even though he was young, he was always in Santa Ana making money on the streets, discovering there was much more value on the streets then in books. While in Santa Ana, he met a rapper named Mr. Vic. Unit always said "Game recognize Game", so instantly Unit and Mr, Vic became homies. Soon after, Mr. Vic asked Unit to join his rap group "Stainless Steel". Unit was always interested in making music but it seemed to him that on the streets was where the money was. SO Unit decided that he would make music that people on the street can relate to. Then after a year, Unit started working with another artist by the name Mal Hablado. Working with Mal Hablado was a great learning experiance to Unit because he had to step his rap game up with a top artist in Southern California. Unit has shown that he can hustle his way on the streets, now he is ready for the next hustle...the rap game. Already with singles "Bounce" and "It Wouldnt Be LA", Unit is going to be a dominating force in the hip hop community. D.C. SO Look! This ya boy DC. I know I know most people get on this “About Me” and tell they're life story and how they got to where they are now but I won't cuz it doesn’t matter how I got here as long as I’m here right? And yes I’m proud to say the boy is doin’ the damn thing I honestly didn't imagine I would be in this position cuz I can make words rhyme but everything happens for a reason. So I guess now I can say sky's the limit... B4 I get out of here I just want to thank everybody the supports me without you there is no me remember that!

I'd like to meet:

I started out working for various independent record stores in the 90s, such as Blue Records and Frontline, where I was the buyer for the R&B, Hip Hop and Reggae. This proved to be invaluable experience, where I gained an insight into which tracks would work in the clubs as well as building relationships with DJs and knowing which tracks would sell********** I moved on to work for Big Tyme Productions and Recording Studios as the marketing and promotions assistant - home of producer and recording artist Baby Boy, and artists such as Scandalez, where the down south sound was created.********** From here I moved to working in club promotions. I have been involved in helping to break new talent from the street level up and have worked with many high profile US acts. ********** Below are just some of the record labels and artists I have been involved with promoting over the years: ********** Record Labels: Aftermath, Def Jam,EMI, Geffen, Interscope, Island, Jive, K7, Mercury, , Universal, Urbanstar, and Virgin . ********** Artists from the U.S - 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, D12, Dr.Dre, Eminem, Eve, G-Unit, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Nelly, Talib Kweli, LL Cool J, Mos Def, Slum Village, ********** The name of the game is gettting specialists DJs behind the music and gaining crucial support from the streets amongst the lovely pirate radio crew.
