  • Bio

    A fruity cocktail mix of Hip Hop and Ska based in Notting Hill, SWAGGA is the lovechild of Essex rapper/songwriter Ray Gudge. Fusing 2 of his favourite styles of music hip-hop and ska, Ray with the support of the Swagga boys have created a unique sound that sounds equally classic and contemporary, mining a rich vein of musical heritage and mixing it in a modern day style. Lyrically Ray follows in a long line of witty and thought provoking wordsmiths such as Ray Davies, Madness and The Streets. Whilst each song tells a story with bittersweet narratives on such subjects as teenage pregnancies, the murky underbelly of gangsters, the Americanization of British culture and the quizzical question of where did it all go wrong? Swagga are the future of British Ska hip hop and have supported some of the best Ska bands in the world Such as the Selecter, The Beat, Bad manners, The Aggrolites, Don Letts and most recently King Hammond. So sit back, buckle up and let the boys take you on a unique musical journey. Who's got the Swagga then?
