J-Sw!ft’s “I’ll Do Mine” Drops September 14th!

Time to get pumped, peeps!  A new single is coming from J-Sw!ft, former Pharcyde producer and star of the upcoming documentary 1 More Hit.  The ambitious and resilient rapper/producer’s fresh track “I’ll Do Mine” has an amended release date of September 14th.  That’s only a few weeks away.  If you can’t wait, click over to Amazon.com to get a tiny taste of his amazing new track.

It’s been a solid five years since J-Sw!ft’s latest release.  Wonder what’s been going on with him during that time?  Catch the documentary 1 More Hit coming February 1, 2001.  This film chronicles J-Sw!ft’s perilous plunge into the depths of drug addiction, jail and homelessness.  Lucky for him and us alike, J manages to summon his unstoppable spirit and courage in order to pull himself out of this deadly abyss.

It was out of these terrifying times that “I’ll Do Mine” was born.  J strives to “unite all the drug users” with relatable lyrics such as, “You do your drug, and I’ll do mine”.  “I’ll Do Mine” features hip-hop stars St. Imey (formerly of The Wascals) and L.A.’s Black Geenie.  “I’ll Do Mine” also features an autobiographical B-side called “Off My Chest”.

What’s next for J-Sw!ft?  An alter ego, of course.  J will be busting out his brainchild Negro Kanevo! sometime next year.  You’re not gonna want to miss that!
