Vanguard Oddities

Vanguard Oddities was formed around May 2006, consisting of male emcee, Swift1 (20) and lady rapper, Miskz eFa (19). They were first in Frontal Vanguard Oddities, a now-defunct crew, which separated due to music differences and the remaining duo paired up together as Vanguard (Miskz eFa) Oddities (Swift1).
They represent the Lion City, both residing in the West. They have participated in Da Sho Case II in 2006, performed on Speakeasy 2007 by Beats Society on several occasions and was one of the 15 finalists of Platform 7 despite being new to the scene – which is an accomplishment for the both of them, for now. It is the beginning of more to come from the duo, so be ready to sit up and listen to their flows.
”Get ready, this prowess gangstress about to rupture/
With words, and don’t you even think about calling it/
Absurd, ‘cos imma burn you immensely/
I stand like a mainmast whatever the weather be” – Miskz eFa
Miskz eFa started out experimenting with the different styles of writing rhymes around 2002, which she learnt through tutorials on Divine-aura.com . After 4 solid years packed with self-confidence, she learnt how to flow and eventually became hungry to produce songs to make herself heard. Her rhymes are mostly based on topicals, where imageries, personification and metaphorical words are being used. Her first influences are Mike Shinoda, Linkin Park and Jean Grae.
“When you see me, don’t be too quick to judge me/
I may be real quiet but don’t try to test me/
When I erupt, I’ll spit lyrical lava on you/
Hot molten disses made, specially to burn you” – Swift1
Swift1 writes his rhymes in a more direct manner, lines with mad punches. He was part of the known now-defunct Zerofam which he joined in 2003 and has been polishing his rap freestyling skills ever since, which explains why he’s the one with the mad direct ’punches’. Known for his quiet nature most of the time, he shows in his rhymes that there is more than meets the eye. As they say, ‘Never judge a book by its cover’. His first influence is D12.
