Lyrics:
He got the whole world, in his hands
Going on a world tour with the key to the land
I get it in got drive like a key to sedan 
Never say you can't do that's the key to the plan
My brother my brother my brother you know who you are?
You a king at least if you fall you are star
No bitch that's queen our son be prince 
If there's rap up in heaven it must sound this 

If there's a god walking earth he would sound like Swiss
With some thorn covered handcuffs around my wrists
Cuz I fit the description of a worst nightmare 
But don't let it take a toll cuz life ain't fair
Get it toll and fare I'm in the beat like the snare
Providing hits through the kicks of which I'm fully aware
Tryna knock me out my chair kick me out the throne
But I came well prepared with my base strong
 
Like it's Charles Mingus in my ankles I'm well anchored
A pharaoh for the whole race I'm well favored 
You can't follow suit my man it's well tailored
Get your own outfit your style ain't out yet
I had love in the game since the outset
None match what I serve that's with out net 
I take my life offline and get live 
Take a toke of my own damn breath to get high 
Why lie 

It's tough how many is getting by 
Having they whole life living just to survive
Me don't wanna just stay afloat I gotta strive 
Have the east coast rockin all down 95
Have the world wit it three sixty degrees
And have all the women's dreams be visions of me 
But no really, most important part of the plan
Is to be there for the fam and support who I can

But the real ones say Swiss do it for you
Don't put me on the list cuz I'll still come thru
It's love, ain't no boulder in life I can't move
Support skill and drive dawg I really can't lose

"Sunshine To Rain" is the debut single from JSWISS' "No Music" EP, which is out NOW. The song is a feel good track and a blend of hip hop, soul and funk produced by bassist/producer Brady Watt and featuring soul singer Maya Azucena. Also features Atsushi Ouchi on saxophone and Matt Giella on trumpet.

Lyrics: 
How's the fam how's life how you feel 
Been spitting for this long but still get chills 
On the record, even though I come to expect it 
Das effect been the same every time I mic check it 
1,2 mic check am I coming through clear 
Yo this ain't no 9 to 5 dawg this a career 
So busy and all empty, never at all tipsy 
I'm off life when I had enough then come get me 
I'm alright me the fam is all tight, 
And we gon live it up til it's light that's all night, 
An audience wit the ambience of Mardi Gras 
That's worldwide wit admission to party far 
Forever conscious I'm well aware it's a good time 
Work then women, two times the good grind, 
I'm just tryna balance it out 
You and me kings and queens we all got clout 
Now let's bounce 

(Maya Azucena) 
Sunshine to rain, don't bring me the pain/ 
The peace I feel, it comes from within 
(Repeat) 

This be the jam if you wanted hip hop (man) 
This be the jam if wanted that funk (man) 
This be the jam you could play for yo kids (man) 
This the jam you could bump if you grown (it's whatever you want) 
And with that, this bout as hard it gets 
To be resisting the rhythm and not respond to the track 
Party packed to the back door 
Your heals is mad sore no buggin the DJ this just what you asked for 
It's love I clap for, any and everybody 
Who did what they mind set and made it impactful 
Thoughts go to those that we lost in them battles 
External, internal we celebrate wit a glass full 
This for the people who just wanted a shot 
To build a life from a passion because they love it a lot 
I breathe I spit and hence I flow 
This life no music this I know 
There it is my mind stimulated, my rep's decorated 
My skills venerated, my doubts never made it 
My claims demonstrated, your mood elevated 
Beats got celebrated marinated decimated 
I got the itch to go create and never hesitated 
Me and the music every minute never separated 
Spontaneous a vibe never needs warning 
I rhyme you move go and do your thing on it 

(Maya Azucena) 
Sunshine to rain, don't bring me the pain/ 
The peace I feel, it comes from within 
(Repeat)

One of the most beautiful, worst, rewarding and stressful things in life is completely surrendering to love. That could be love for a person, or in the case of "Dedicate.LoveSomethin'," the love of a passion.

Lyrics: 
F a dream that's a lifestyle 
No future that's a right now 
A couple voices in my head had to pipe down 
Hit life with a hook til it's lights out 
That's why I'm a fight now, Me and myself coming to blows 
Sanity come and goes reality poke its nose 
Break down the comfort zone just to live comfortable, I tell ya 
Phone gets turned off, girl gets blown off 
Life's get thrown off, guard gets caught off 
Got all the drive think your hand's on the wheel 
Til you realize you just shotgun like a sawed off 
And it's like I'd take a bullet for this 
Already killin myself Russian roulette with the risk 
Fallin back from a cliff with no safe net behind you 
That's what it's like when you really take the time to 

Chorus: 
"Dedicate. Love Somethin" (x8) 

It hit hard to let go of my first 
We had a love that we never did need to rehearse 
I gave her all knowin if she did leave it would hurt 
And likely break my heart like I didn't deserve 
Cuz everybody want her and everybody do her 
And like an idiot I know and still choose to pursue 
I know that's a stupid move 
But every dream achiever need some crazy and some stupid too 
So I was kicking game knowing how the odds stacked 
Putting up numbers, just tryna get her contact 
Flirted with her, think about her every night 
To this day she took more than the half of my life 
And she was good to me, was with her every day 
But never really with her, we went our separate ways 
Bye hoop dreams, I gotta rhyme boo 
I'm still happy that with you I took the time to 

Chorus: 
"Dedicate. Love Somethin" (x8) 

I wish the pain on my best friend 
I wish the stress on my close fam 
Anxiety that never ends 
Cuz that's a dream turned to plan 
When logic says otherwise 
And it's nonsense to go do it 
And your pray you never wanted it 
Well I pray that you go through it, go 

(Guitar solo) 

Chorus: 
"Dedicate. Love Somethin" (x8)

Lyrics: 
So much on my mind I don't how to stop it
Don't even know the topic, just pick a flow to rock it
You know them kids can't touch it like an open socket
They words never be the future like a phony prophet,
I give you future in the present past lessons
Influence what I'm putting in my paragraphs
Blessings coming every time I open up my eyes
In it for more than just to survive until I die,
They built me different like the Fords in the 1900s
You dead wrong you think I might be blunted
To each his own me though I'm never on that
You know I cut it and chop it so I had to bring that back 
Back wit a vengeance, since adolescence
I had the keys to success, I made core progressions
In a flash I'm on the scene to restore the message
I push it forward though I never could ignore the essence
Tip Phife Kane Thought Big Pac more
NYPD how I'm gunning for the top floor
Also be the person bleeding asking what you shot for
While the co-workers see it turn and get lockjaw
That's just reality that ain't even a verse
When you dead in a Mercedes before you get in a hearse
And I'm pissed too like yo you should do your occupation
But I also know we need some conversation, catch 22
We gon have to live together regardless
I try to play my part and paint the picture I am an artist
I put my hands up and stay quiet I am a target
He die and you put him on trial I beg your pardon
There's bullets from both sides, it seems like they not ending
This is for the young black lives that's not trending
This is for the strange fruit on hung ropes
O'Reilly's dumb quotes
We gave you enough blood
I gave you enough flows, gone

"I Wish" is a collaboration between emcee JSWISS and hip-hop/jazz band Temple5 that comes right on time at the end of the year as the perfect medicine for a world that has been through a rough 2016.

Lyrics:

I wish the Giants win the Super Bowl
I wish a crystal ball could show me what the future holds
Scratch that lets just keep it a surprise for the time now
I wish I live long enough to find out
Wish we could do away with murder
Or at least never had guns so if you wanna kill someone you had to earn it
I wish, if there was one murder in a week it would be world news and not a hundred everyday occurrence
I wish I could have half the women all around the city
I wish that when I go somebody miss me
I wish to own something can't nobody evict me
I look back I wish to know more about my history
I wish I knew the country where my family had started
For a brother like me figuring it out'll be the hardest
I wish I could be ignorant to industry like when I was a novice
I wish there was no industry wit it if I be honest
I wish, I could go to every major label take they publishing and give it right back to the artists
I think I'm doing good thus far but 'fore I'm done
I wish to be a better friend and a son
You know what

(Chorus)

I wish the world had more love,
I wish had the world had more peace,
I wish the day had more time,
I wish the year had more weeks,
I...wish
I...wish
(Repeat)

Give me success without sacrifice, wishful thinking
Give me a vacation, give me weekends,
I want the lesson without consequences
Impossible I just wish I could be the exception
I wish change did come with a new election
I highly doubt it got no reason for a new perception
Sometimes I wish I was militant,
All us together go and take what we should really get, but it's whatever
Post about it get some retweets, make it clever
I ain't here to just cast stones, I should do better,
I look myself in the mirror and wish nothing
The one thing under my control
My own action and soul,
And I know what you wish
That every single record could sound like this
That every single record could sound like this
But they could never sound like this Swiss

(Chorus)

Lyrics:
This what they mean when they say everybody ain't built for this
When the fan gets dirty are still for this
When everybody around you is like you real for this
Pressure mounts you like still with this
But the things I gotta be thankful for is piling up
The lessons that I made from mistakes is adding up
Pretty soon imma cash those in and level up,
Cuz learning the hard way just sucks
At this point I realize this dream ain't mine it's for the world now,
Cuz even I think of wanting a girl now
Put in the effort something always goes wrong
Like God's like go write you song
You ain't got time for that
You need time to write you need time to read
And oh yea if you get lucky time to sleep
It seems too hard the way it sounds
Plan every single hour and write it down so I did that
Check the notes in my phone this is real rap
Thinkin they real is your real that's the real trap,
Get used to feeling free then they steal that
Cuz something always happen to remind you that you still black,
This one got killed then this one got off
"Nigger" painted on a house now they scrubbing it off
This a right damn now not a way back when
Even tomorrow bet someone gone do it again
And we so far gone know it's so damn wrong
But feel foolish even thinking that it ever would end,
We kinda do suck as a species
Half of us would probably kill a man for a retweet,
Push an old lady over for a follow
Walk around with a cold heart and head hollow,
You could always see death on the Internet
As easy as you could get a gun or cigarette,
Obsessed with our own destruction
Swallow ourselves in our own consumption
We lie so much all I do is spit the obvious truth they like SWISS yo you onto something,
Man, I'm just living out my purpose
Dig a little deeper than the surface in these verses
Being selfless and a little selfish
Like spell my name right so it show up in the searches,
Put out another song then work it
Radio won't play it gotta reach every person
Believe half what I see none of what I hear
Not two sides, every story has 3 versions
What each party says and the headline reads
Don't pay attention what these rap songs say y'all need,
You know what brings you joy
Don't get tricked tryna fill up a void

JSWISS & producer M.Drix (a.k.a. Marcus Machado) join up for a 5-song collaborative EP that is one continuous exhibition on the fundamentals of hip-hop music: beats and rhymes. 

From the first note til the last JSWISS is in beast mode, showing off raw lyricism and wordplay, while Machado, also known as a prolific guitar player in addition to producer and solo artist, shows off his skills as a straight up hip-hop producer, providing the perfect platform for SWISS to go in with the BARS. Think Dwyane Wade and LeBron James hitting up a basketball game at Rucker Park, but in musical form.

I. They Don't Know
II. Black Summer
III. All Day
IV. The March
V. Success

Additional Production- Vicky Casis & JSWISS

Lyrics: 

Verse 1:
Understand if I step to the mic to say it you gon' listen
If you knew that it's called wisdom
Back on my 1, 2 bull like Jordan and Pippen
Blacking out on the track like John Howard Griffin
Mashing on the piston like Jordan and Pippen again
Or like the spark in an all chrome engine
I know I need to serve my purpose
A Native Son Bigger Thomas a track and throw it in the furnace
A book nerd I know
I go Ishmael on a library and ape in the booth as well
Stay with the bars I'm like screw the bell
Fighting the good fight went tooth and nail
It ain't sweet this kings reign ain't candy
But the fact remains that his soul is too for real
You could never dream of what I think of my love
My soul fits you like OJ's glove
A born sinner and born winner, a go-getter
Cool cat with no litter, watch me liber-
-ate thoughts that been simmering assemble 'em in symphony
Like Sanford tell Elizabeth they sent for me
This the big one crash the cymbals and start the roll on the timpani
Open up the curtains anticipate what the end could be
Rub your hands together I think i's 'bout to get interesting
Put your hands together I think we're 'bout to make history
And don't forget the dubious smile
As I flow like river like Danube or the Nile
If you say I'm not the illest well then you in denial
Couldn't resist, go ahead call it predictable, foul
It don't bother me, sprinkle some playfulness in the artistry
That John Legend I give you more than a part of me, all of me
Enemies quiver like it was archery
Turn tables for art hip-hop is pottery, what

Chorus:
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the man who came to wreck all
Just another rapper with swag who can't spit
Uh uh this ain't something to miss
Man he got The Gift

Verse 2:
When I'm determined you better betting on double zero
Might save the game but make no mistake I'm no hero 
I don't come when I'm called I come when I'm ready 
I'm undefeated in regular season so hold the confetti 
Record of wrecking on record's nothing til title time 
Flow increase the number on any one of your vital signs,
Even the dead'll awaken Jesus I'm good
God made me and did better than he thought that he could 
A masterpiece, a cake walk how I batter beats
Cooking for the bacon while the pigs headed after me
Rhyme or prose I school em I'm using all of my faculties
Articles to albums I crank em out like a factory
Wordsmith in its truest form and application 
Doing it til perfection be my form of education 
Don't let a conversation or book any experience go by without finding a sliver of inspiration,
Look me in my eyes and say you don't see greatness 
I'm in the mirror every day patiently waiting 
Like Fif and Em back in the day, I was in middle school
This quiet shy kid as a rapper I didn't fit the rule 
Still not a rapper I grew to an emcee 
Put in 10K hours just to burn 10 Gs,
I'm the outlier Gladwell was outlining 
You can't fail or succeed if you not trying
If you show and don't tell then you not lying 
Otherwise I'll straighten it out like a hot iron
Or like Pete Rock and CL Smooth 
They can't anticipate I'm quiet I don't detail moves 
Don't telegraph I was a point guard use my peripheral
Word is traveling but how I paint wit words pivotal 
Same way I tell it is the same way I spit It
Is the same as I remember is the same way I lived it, consistent

Chorus:
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the man who came to wreck all
Just another rapper with swag who can't spit
Uh uh this ain't something to miss
Man he got The Gift
(Repeat)

Lyrics: 

They painted me a thug and a crook 
Wanna hide something from em then put it in a book 
If you really wanna kill em put the poison in the album 
Cops kill wit a badge they'll do it without one... 
That's what you think huh? 
We'll all kill each other you put the guns within reach huh? 
The same things we need the same things they don't teach huh 
You think it'll be better if a president's impeached huh? 
That's the tip of the tip of the tip of iceberg 
Never been aggressive instead what I do is write words 
My rhymes mean more than all I did as a scholar 
How my thoughts two cents when every word is a dollar 
You still think this should be free how dare you 
Demand I give you every piece of me how dare you 
You know how much artists put all into what they write 
A ninety nine cent song could change your life you don't hear me though 
I failed again and again and again and again, 
And that's the only reason I be destined to win, 
If they support and/or inspire I call em a friend 
I been getting eh on religion sorry if I offend, 
I go to church just to see my fam these days 
Lord forgive me I took Jesus out my prayers these days 
Don't get me wrong I still know I'm blessed beyond imagination 
I believe in God no affiliation 
If the Bible's God's word but it's been rewritten over time 
Several times they word is as good as mine 
Every book is a Bible, every life is a gem 
Every day is a blessing, every woman's a ten 
Every fall is a lesson, no effort's a waste 
Every heartbreak is inspiration ev-er-y case 
Every distraction let's you not do whatever it takes 
Every reason you should quit is every reason to stay 
Every conversation every single story is power 
You need to pay more attention cuz every word is a dollar

JSWISS- Players (J Dilla Tribute)

An ode to all the things in life apart from money that make us "rich".

Lyrics: 

Verse 1: 
My happiness is certified, secure stamped and fortified 
They tell you it's determined by circumstance it's all a lie, 
The most ridiculous precedent since 45, 
How you see it is what's there it's all in eye 
I see my fam still there on a rainy day 
It's way too many to in one day take away 
24 hours of showers is nothin 
My bank account low buss it I'll ball on a budget 
Offer a mill to ditch my inner circle wouldn't touch it 
Bet it all on myself and my people ain't even bluffing 
All in with the hand I was I dealt I play bold 
Got more aces than there are in a deck I can't fold 
Know what I'm holding I'm cocky having chips like this 
Could rob Buffet and Gates and still not be rich like this, 
Move more mountains with network than net worth 
It's not all about dough but who you know 
But when my wallet catch up oooo you got problems 
I got love period wail til I got commas 
I always had a roof and had a plate 
Not a mansion but a home, chicken instead of steak 
Never my own car but always my own room 
When I left 2 parents saying see you home soon 
Shoot I'll call it luxury, recognize I also had some luck with me 
My parents even bumping me musically still loving me 

Chorus (Amma Whatt): 
Money ain't everything cuz I got mad love to bring 
I tell you the truth, I'm rich 
I ain't got diamond rings, still they love me like a king 
I know my truth, I'm rich 


Verse 2: 
Yo I dig my life until my gold is at an overflow 
Carry all my blessings then collapsing from an overload 
I see the value of my words and my ambition 
And stop tripping cause something ain't go how it was supposed to go, 
Making a mountain out of molehill that's us, 
But a little perspective switches up just how you feel 
I ain't had to go to too many funerals in my life 
Every person still with me worth at least a couple mill 
I ain't tryna cash out no time soon, I got more wealth than cash 
Feel like securing my happiness like securing my bag 
I paid not a damn thing for my most coveted gifts 
So yes I'm tryna get this money but already I'm rich 

(Chorus x2) 

Amma: 
Stuntin high or slumming low 
The physical comes and goes 
What you need is spiritual 
Rich is within your soul 

JSWISS: 
Every book is a Bible, every life is a gem 
Every day is a blessing, every woman's a ten 
Every fall is a lesson, no effort's a waste 
Every heartbreak is inspiration ev-er-y case 
Every distraction let's you not do whatever it takes 
Every reason you should quit is every reason to stay 
Every conversation every single story is power 
You need to pay more attention cuz every word is a dollar

JSWISS - Rich ft. Amma Whatt

Lyricist JSWISS teams up with dexterous, Grammy Award-winning trumpeter/composer virtuoso Nicholas Payton and longtime collaborator, producer U'Nique Music, for an aspirational record about the payoff of a journey faced head on with confidence and vision throughout the inevitable struggle that comes with lofty goals. 

Verse 1: 
I always knew the work would pay off guess I was right 
It ain’t a gamble when you loading the dice 
Always knew they’d think it happened overnight cuz they don’t know what it’s like 
Always knew it would be worth it to fight 
And I, always knew I wouldn’t do it alone although I’ve always been a self starter, 
Always knew with more success it would get harder 
I went to UNC I thought I would be Vince Carter 
I’m lower to the ground dawg I had to think smarter 
Always knew I’d get the money regardless if I just focused on being an artist, 
I always knew that I was sitting on wealth 
Cuz the biggest stock I own is myself 
And it’s always appreciating so when you in the presence you better appreciate it 
Always knew I looked different I was seeing greatness 
Knew I would buzz but would never be inebriated, how you think I made it 
Always knew I’d make the right decisions 
And if enough people heard it they’d know they gotta listen, 
Always knew them jobs temporary 
Couldn’t be sitting at a desk until I’m dead and buried, 
I always knew this song would write itself, 
Cuz the main ingredient is just life itself, 
I always knew what I would think but rarely say would come true 
Even with all the bull that I been through man I always knew 

Verse 2: 
Always knew I had a global message 
It makes sense I bless the earth with this global presence 
I always knew I’d have fans I couldn’t understand out in foreign lands 
And knew I’d not just be a great artist but great man 
I always knew I had the best parents 
That’s a trend in my fam being the best at it, 
I always knew I’d hit my friends and my family 
Like I only get two tickets but let’s party in the city for the Grammys 
Or the BET Awards should that mean more 
I always knew I’d represent my people well 
Knew I’d live a life that have mad stories to tell 
And read more books than Malcolm X in the cell 
Always knew I’d write my own too 
I always knew that I was dope but that was old news, 
I always knew what I would think but rarely say would come true 
Even with all the bull that I been through man I always knew
