I think sway is the best of the best when it comes to laying verses. Hes wordplay is out of this world!! And his flow style is very rare becus he raps really fast sometimes but you can hear and understand every word of it. Go on sway!

Sway is definitly the artist of 2008 for me. Waited a week to get the Signature LP to my country but it was worth it.

Sway is great, although I was disappointed with The Signature LP after the brilliant This is My Demo. The American-pop-hip-hop influence has effected him in the wrong way I felt, with 'Silver and Gold' and 'Saturday night Hustle' sounding nothing like his older stuf, and most of the other tracks are poor love songs. There are three decent tracks:Fit 4 a KingSay it TwiceJason WasteDo better next time Sway! You've got the talent!

richard gibbons
sway is a great rapper and he is getting better and better
mike
Sways definately dope. Ive bought both his albums and i think the seconds an improvement which is quite rare in the music industry. He reps the UK to the fullest and hopefully he can break through in the US whilst being himself.
John Wright
No! His not, he alright but I have to give it the Hardest Giggs. He done alot without the UK rap game.
kieran

Sway Should definitely be named artist of the year. Rising from strength to strength, from the early days of "This is my Promo", to "This is my Demo" to the hit "The signature LP". A great representative for the UK, he has done what many have UK acts have failed to do, stand their own in the US. Beating 50 Cent to the MOBO in 2005 was the first of many awards, there is clearly a lot more to come from this exciting act.
