Sway

 

Sway
Despite still being unsigned to a label, not having released an album and being up against global rap heavyweights 50 Cent and The Game, in 2005 Sway walked away with Best Newcomer at the Urban Music Awards; Best of British from the Channel U Awards and Best Hip-Hop Artist at the MOBOs.

In 2006, Sway kept the momentum going when his release, This Is My Demo. A truly British cross-pollination of influences.

It received further mainstream endorsement when it was selected as one of the Mercury Music Prize?s 'Albums of the Year' ? one of the most respected accolades in UK music which honours only 12 albums a year.

2007 saw Sway collaborate with Craig David, rising US hip-hop star Lupe Fiasco, RnB princess Jamelia and rising US star Chamillionaire.

He has also shared the stage with The Streets and Hard Fi on their recent tours.
