Born in the heart of hip-hop culture in the Bronx, New York, Tatted Swerve is one of the country’s top hip-hop talents. He has grown up with a deep passion for the music industry, learning how to make music at a young age. Tatted Swerve was also born to musical parents who were passionate music lovers, with his mother being strongly pulled to the sound of jazz. His father was a passionate hip-hop enthusiast, with almost all the hottest mixtapes of their times. Such an environment influenced Tatted Swerve’s career path, and it’s no surprise that he’s ended up in the hip-hop scene.
The sensational rapper has been on a musical rampage since debuting his “Come Home” single back in 2018. He has since released other tracks, including “Make A Name” and “Bizzy Free.” His innate rap skills and sound versatility have also seenhim collaborate with the famous singer/rapper Coi Leray. Tatted Swerve continues to show great potential in his musical abilities, and he’s definitely on his way to becoming a top rapper in the game.
Before launching his music career, Tatted Swerve had been working as a tattoo artist and painter. Music had always been his desired path, but he had to find an alternative source of income to make ends meet. Unbeknown to many, Tatted Swerve was born and raised in a low-income family with lots of social upheaval. Crime was normal in the area, and he often found himself surrounded by people with a crabs in a barrel mentality.
The environment was tough enough to limit his music ambitions, but the determined Tatted Swerve remained focused on the big picture and his dreams. Launching a music career straightaway was not practical as he could barely find the money for food. He had to diversify into his painting and tattooing passions, which has kept him going all the years.
When financially secure, Tatted Swerve opted to return to his initial passion as that’s where he feels he belongs. And there is absolutely no doubt about it, judging from his success in this highly competitive industry. It’s also amazing how he has remained true to his roots, occasionally visiting where he grew up to give back. He is also using the power of music to impact change in the area and possibly motivate others to find their purpose in life.
His advice to other artists is to stay true to themselves and never forget who they are and where they come from. He thinks it’s important to own your truth while being the best version of yourself. Tatted Swerve has a solid connection with his Bronx roots and regularly visits the area. He believes in the power and importance of staying true to your roots at all times. He is a strong believer in Marcus Garvey’s words, “A people without the knowledge of their history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots.” To him, that sums it all up and points out the importance of closely checking up on people who matter the most to you in life.
Tatted Swerve’s goal is to scale his music brand and hopefully grow to become one of the most significant artists of this current generation. Rap has always been part of his life, and he believes he has big shoes to fill in New York rap culture.
