Swag Toof
May 2014
Who are you?
Swag Toof.
Where do you live?
Harlem, New York.
What do you do?
Work hard and argue about art.
When did you start?
Ever since the baby teef came in.
How was your first show/performance?
Like we were finally good at something legal.
What would you like to gain from your work?
The liberty to create our music and visuals comfortably—and without limitation—or maybe just giant golden statues of our dicks beside the Washington Monument.
What would you like your audience to gain from your work?
Something different.
Who or what are your biggest influences?
Outkast, Mobb Deep, Clipse, Robert Rauschenberg, Sweet Toof, Sole, Beavis & Butt-head, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Lewis & Clark, Harmony Korine, CCR, Hype Williams, Director X, Wooje Kim, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Salvador Dalí, Three 6 Mafia, Dre and Snoop, Jason Goldwatch, J. D. Salinger, Jeff Koons, Spike Lee, Spike Jonze, Steely Dan, 8Ball & MJG, Wright brothers, Simon and Garfunkel, Kris Kross, ICP, Brooks & Dunn, Twiztid, Beastie Boys, Birdman and Slim, Public Enemy, Bill & Ted and, of course, our moms. We really could do this all day…
What keeps you up at night?
George Vlahakis.
What’s next?
Harlem’s Adopted Children (Side B)’s right around the corner—and some really strong visuals will come along with that. We have quite a few dope projects percolating. First up’s the Evans Gate EP, fully produced by a true legend in the making, Ryan Evans. We’re also working on a murderous debut tape for D.G.A.F. Boyz (which is a rap-supergroup that consists of Swag Toof, Supa Sortahuman, Kevorkian, Noah 23 and Bolo Nef). We’re also cooking up another fully self-produced album—can’t disclose the title yet, but it is, without a doubt, unlike anything you’ve ever heard before.
