In the game perspective is everything, and today Akron, OH MC, Swoope, delivers us an homage to small beginnings and purpose in juxtaposed endings. In the video, Swoope keeps it too real with this everybody ain’t balling track as he runs down his daily struggles like his mom battling cancer to working just trying to survive as he spits, “Money can’t buy happiness, but I wouldn’t mind crying in a lambo…”
Handling the smoothed-out production on the track as well, Swoope explains his motivation, stating,
“I’m from a small little city that they fly through but never fly to. I’ve played the keys since I could walk, soproducing music was a natural progression… I just want to make art that gives people hope in this crazy world.”
Hoping to inspire and motivate others, he also hit up IG stating,
Didn’t want this record to see the light of day. Transparency can be embarrassing. Glad I changed my mind. #Lambo https://t.co/FYx76LQTnU
