In a musical era where authenticity has been elusive and trendsetters have been on a wave train, one lyricist and performer, Andre Swish, has chosen to stay true to himself. Priding himself on his realness, Andre is not just any other hip-hop artist. With a lifelong passion for hip-hop and rap that has manifested itself since he was young and has been thoroughly honed, he embodies strength forged through the hottest fires. His artistry has been forged through inestimable adversities, which has contributed to his becoming more powerful and flexible to withstand any battle. Taking inspiration from hip-hop legends such as 2Pac, Dr. Dre, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Andre has been able to carve out his unique sound that honors the very foundation hip-hop was built on while still being creative and explorative.
“Know About Me” is the latest addition to Andre Swish’s impressive discography, and this time, he collaborated with another celebrated emcee, BirdBoy.
This track tickles your fancy from the get-go thanks to its hauntingly nostalgic beat that evokes strong memories. With this exquisite scenery set for him, Andre showcases his lyrical awareness and adaptability, delivering some intricate bars, real-life inspired verses, and intelligent rhymes with his distinct vocals that steal the spotlight.
The lyrics vividly explore the harsh realities of our society, facing judgement from other people who don’t really know our stories and what we’ve been through. Delivered from his own perspective, André gives this tune such relatable life, as his thought-provoking words are an ode to the behind-the-scenes hard work, relentless drive, discipline, sacrifice, frustration, and resilience that people don’t get to see. This is also a subtle message to all the critics.
The tune has also been injected with a captivating R&B touch thanks to the enchanting female vocals that deliver that infectious and catchy chorus that lingers with you long after the track ends. The guest emcee BirdBoy stays on topic with his own relevant bars, his raw and honest lyrics underscoring the emotional depth of the track.
“Know About Me” represents the best of hip-hop, blending far-reaching appeal with its R&B sensibilities and real-life inspired bars.
