His debut solo album, “You Couldn’t Be Me,” is out now (listen on Spotify or wherever you stream music). Swerve talks about all the work and killer collabs that went into the record, including songs with Flash Garments, Anthony King, Benny The Butcher, Jewice, and Monteasy. He even has a track by Kanye West! Swerve discusses his biggest influences, how he developed his own flow and style, and what he learned from artists like Musiq Soulchild and Tyler The Creator.
