SWINNIE AKA DAPPER THA DON

Straight out of New York, East River Projects home to DJ Kay Slay; whom he cities as one of his many inspirations behind wanting to enter such a competitive game. Kareem Swinne a.k.a Dapper the Don born April 29, 1986 is a force to be reckoned with. His love for music began early but his desire to be a rapper begin around the age of fifteen. He compares himself to the likes of TI, Lil Wayne and Kayne West three of the best in the game so you know he’s no joke. Swinnie is looking not only to be a rapper but a household name saying that he wants to reach all audiences of music lovers. However, there is more to Swinnie than just music. He spends a lot of his time playing basketball often helping coach children aged twelve to seventeen years old when time permits. In addition to hitting the courts faithfully fashion has played an important part in who Swinnie is as a person. He’s known for going against the grain wearing styles that you would not otherwise see on guys who grew up in East Harlem. He style is like no other he is willing to try anything at least once and always looks good doing it. These attributes are what sets him apart from the rest. “When my father passed I knew more than ever that rapping was my destiny explains Swinnie. His passing caused me to take what I otherwise viewed as a hobby and turn it in to a career.” It was at this point in Swinnie’s life that he made it a point to go as hard as he could in order to make rapping his life. He is the hottest thing hitting the streets so watch out he’s more that just a rapper he’s a musician.
