Amazon.co.uk Review
Though hes been coming up on the battle circuit for years, it was Sways highly-regarded mixtape
This Is My Promo Vol. 1 that got him established as a prominent figure on the UK urban scene. Having recently recorded with The Streets and toured with Dizzee Rascal, Sway now brings his debut album.
This Is My Demo smacks of class. The production--all put together by the man himself--is sophisticated and varied, shape-shifting between hip hop, two-step, r & b and rap and infused with subtle Afro-Caribbean touches and a great deal of humour.
Sways storytelling is sharp and he is more than capable of switching personas (one minute the English gent, next the streetwise rudeboy) and even his rhyming speeds but better than that--his gags are genuinely funny. Whether satirising fashion, poking fun at Kofi Annan or imagining embarrassing sexual moments with his girlfriend, he brings a lightness of touch to the game thats eternally refreshing.--Paul Sullivan
