About the Artist

Meet MTV's newest comedic ensemble as the channel premieres "Buzzin'," a new reality series starring music artist Shwayze, his best pal and producer Cisco Adler, their partner in crime, tour manager Warren Gumpel and their manager head of Suretone Records, Jordan Schur. Beginning Wednesday, July 23 at 10:30PM ET/PT, fans can catch the misadventures of Shwayze, his wingman and music partner Cisco, best buddy Warren and manager Jordan as they define a whole new California sound. And rounding out the Wednesday night line-up, "Run's House" returns with new episodes premiering July 16 at 10pm ET/PT.

Showcasing the long road from the trailer park to the top of the charts, "Buzzin'" follows the unlikely pair - Shwayze, the self-described "only black kid in Malibu" and Cisco, the seasoned singer/producer and regular tabloid bad boy - and their crew as their path to stardom hits all the twists, turns and bumps along the way. The music and madness get underway as the boys and their fresh Cali sound get ready to debut their self-titled album on August 19 and as their first single, "Buzzin'" continues to climb the charts. Trying to keep them on track is their tough manager and label honcho, Jordan Schur who has taken artists like Ashlee Simpson and Limp Bizkit all the way to the top. Also along for the ride is their resident right-hand man, tour manager and comrade, Warren. When they guys are in a jam, count on him to be the man with the plan - even if the plan causes more problems than it solves.

Product Description

A melting-pot of laid-back melodies, hip-hop rhythms and acoustic guitars, Shwayze's self-titled debut [Suretone/Geffen Records] pays homage to an all-day-and-into-the-night party lifestyle colored by the rolling tides of his hometown beaches, and the rolling papers that flavor the proceedings. Collaborating with Shwayze, Adler co-wrote all of the songs on the album, producing and providing backing vocals along the way.

The first single, "Buzzin'" splashes Cisco's roots-rock acoustic-guitar and vocal tapestry with Shwayze's cooler-than-a-sea-breeze hip-hop delivery. Says the rapper, "It's a new West Coast sound, it's California chill, West Coast stoner music." Case in point? "Don't Be Shy." "It's about Malibu being like an endless summer. Cisco came up with the hook and the `da-don-don, da-don-don-don't be shy' part. I came up with the verses about a couple of chicks I was into. It's about wanting summer to come back, waiting for the sun and kicking it on the beach."

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Beats, some lyrics a bit immature but fun, December 11, 2008

By	Jill Sealy "Jelizua" (Georgia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like this CD more than my husband. I like listening to it while driving. The lyrics are fun but sometimes immature, the beats are really good. They kind of remind me of a modern day Eazy-E. We have a convertible and it makes me want to drop the top and cruise around the beach...haha, just not too loudly, I am afraid of all the looks I will get if people around here all the references to smoking pot. Definitely a good choice if you want some "mellow" rap-type music.
