Editorial Reviews

There's a new Hip-Hop savior on the UK's streets, and his name is Derek Safo, that's Sway to you and me. The first person to win a MOBO Hip-Hop award without having an official release (those mix tapes beat most of the competition hands down), this man most definitely deserves the hype. Boldly waving his British flag, Sway draws lyrical inspiration from the world around him, studying domestic violence in 'Pretty Ugly Husband', unnecessary credit card debt in 'Flo' Fashion' and the nature of his own success on 'Little Derek'. His merging of different musical sources blend beautifully with his off-beat wit and irony. All City. 2006.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Modern Touch on British Urban Music, July 23, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: This Is My Demo (Audio CD)

On the underground music labels of the UK, Sway proves his talent as not only a rapper, but an icon for British urban music, going out of his way to produce uplifting bright songs such as Little Derek, and keep to pop-cultured yet meaningful genres on garage-styled beats such as on the hit Flo' Fashion. With the mentioned songs and Products, Up Your Speed and On My Own as mentionables, and many good and decent songs to fill, this is truly worth the money you're spending. If you like this, please look-in to the diverse British urban scene, as there are many young artists with much talent.

right right.

1 of the best of 2006, & not even an official album, a demo. sway uk's new hot boy, so hot even mtv you hear it first had to rep when he won the mobo award over 50 cent & the game with a demo, dame you know then dis is bangin. he also has 2 other albums called this is my promo I & II with some songs from demo but some new ones, but very hard to find, not as good as demo but still amazing & has to be heard. i thought every song was bangin no skipable tracks but little derek was 3stars. if your familiar with uk hip hop this is no different, from the country that has always pushed the envelope, the beats are very electronic like rap beats not sample backpack style. he's not as prolific as roots manuva, rodney p or loteck but deffinetelly in the ranks, give him a few years, but any fans of dem will love this just da same. rep uk fa life
