Hustle The Struggle

I'm Tom Swifty - shifty and shady / Liftin ya lady when your back's turned, burn spliffs daily / You can find me at the bus stop wearin a tie / A glare in my eye, sportin a grin at the same time / Blame my heat for the hole in the ozone / But I don't rhyme for frozen water and provolone. 

Born out of the ashes of Twin Cities Hip-Hop crew Death Ray Scientific, a collective that featured members of Wide Eyes, Bottom Feeders and former members of Dialogue Elevaters, among others. 

Over the years, I have rocked shows with the likes of Eyedea (R.I.P.), Kristoff Krane, Carnage, Desdamona, Ill Chemistry, Kanser, Guante, Background Noise Crew, Wide Eyes, Spy MC, DisputeOne, Phillip Morris, Sage Francis, Heiruspecs, Rheteric Ramirez, Madd Illz, and many more. 

I currently reside in NYC and believe/fear my latest album may be the best thing I'll ever do with my life.

Whether rapping, producing, performing, teaching kids to beatbox or working the former job of a youth counselor, it’s clear Carnage The Executioner was born to do two things: instruct and entertain. Musicians, dancers, DJ's, poets and television hosts who have worked with Carnage recognize his dedication to his craft and would confirm that he doesn’t disappoint. Ask emcees about Carnage’s skill level and you’ll find out that the phrase, "he’s your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper,” actually fits.

A music fan since childhood, Carnage has filled his memory bank with thousands of references from all genres to draw from. Carnage’s start as a human beat boxer has taken on a life of its own. He now uses technology like looping and effects pedals commonly used by guitarists. He enhances the experience of a live Hip-Hop show by providing his audiences the opportunity to hear original Carnage material, as well as unique improvisations and spot-on recreations of popular songs. Carnage uses this same musical knowledge and technology to create custom, studio human beat box tracks. His audio vision via mouth music can be heard on albums by Hip-Hop heavyweights Aesop Rock and R.A. The Rugged Man. Carnage is also a self-trained song writer who’s skilled enough to compose a heart-felt story as easily as he can craft an intricate battle rap.

Carnage gained national fame from his past guest appearances with Eyedea & Abilities. It’s his own original songs, however, that allow his fans to connect with him the most. Songs like Addict, Save My People and The MTW Story give fans a glimpse into the real-life experiences of Carnage the human being. 

Always moving forward, Carnage continues to expand his art and build the Hecatomb crew - a slew of like-minded artists who share his passion to create honest, raw Hip-Hop music. A student and fan in his humble beginnings, Carnage stays true to the culture that both helped to change and save his life.

PRESS MENTIONS:
In reference to Carnage’s beat boxing abilities, Chris Riemenschneider from Minneapolis Star Tribune said, “his mouth might be the best drummer in town” in 2011. Carnage was named one of the “Top 20 MC’s in Minnesota” by City Pages in 2012, ranking #8.
