Just Musica + Skope = Swamp Lake. 

While both artists have been making music together for a number of years, Bombay marks the first official release for Swamp Lake. This 10 track album is full of playful lyrics, insightful reflections and banging beats. From the 802 to the 510 Swamp Lake brings it back to the basics.

Born in Massachusetts, raised in Vermont and migrated to California where San Francisco is home, I have consumed all things Hip-Hop since I was old enough to listen to cassettes. 

I started writing rhymes in high school, and got somewhat serious once I linked up with Shape. We recorded countless songs on a Tascam 4-track and performed at all the local Vermont spots; Nectars, Higher Ground, 242 Main, & Metronome to name a few.

I recorded a few songs after moving to San Francisco, but effectively retired in 2006 while focusing on other pursuits; filming skateboarding and post production/video editing. 

The move to Oakland in 2010 proved the inspiration needed to get back with the pen and paper. The official release of the first Swamp Lake (Just Musica & Skope) album, "Bombay' was May 11, 2011.
