17 BONUS - HYPER - Swami Baracus Vs Kami K (Clique Remix)

Taken from the same name as his weekly running podcast, The Native Immigrants sees the Baracuda challenge racism head-on, as well as deliver an impactful message to the South Asian community as a whole. 

With production provided by long-time collaborator Nutty P, SB provides super-charged and potentially controversial bars with a passionate delivery and without filters!

SB had this to say, ‘The Native Immigrants is a rallying call, not just against racism, but also our own community. We stood side by side fighting the Far Right in the 70s, and now even when there’s social injustice so prevalent in UK society, we’ve segregated ourselves from each other, rather than being a collective community once again. Strength in numbers is how we overcome prejudice, so let’s stand united once again.

The official music video is out now, and was shot in Swami’s old home town of Southall, and features content from the history of the town itself, including images of first-generation immigrants and footage of the Southall riots of 1979. The single is also available to purchase and stream now across all online platforms.

After a prolonged hiatus, West London rapper Swami Baracus is back in his element, bringing you bars on beats and bass with 'RETURN OF THE DRAGON!' Baracus showcases his stellar wordplay and clever metaphors over a bassy boom-bap beat, with charismatic aplomb. The tongue-in-cheek video also highlights the Baracuda's comedic side, as displayed in his previous incarnation with the Caravan Crookz. 

  'Return Of The Dragon' is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD! So grab a piece of the Dragon, and let the fire burn through your speakers!

Having recently stirred controversy with the politically-charged BARAXIT, London rapper Swami Baracus returns with a monstrous musical offering, working together with renowned DJ and producer JC Sona (Sona Family) to create ‘I DON’T REALLY KNOW YA’! The Baracuda delivers his lyrical prowess and stellar flow over JC’s pulsating Trap production, resulting in a colossal collaboration that’s been years in the making!

SB had this to say, ‘JC and myself have spoken so many times over the past few years about working on music together, but for whatever reason, our paths have been in different directions. I’m glad we finally made it happen! It’s a track that’s taken both of us out of our comfort zone, but also brought out the best in us. It was a pleasure to work on, and a great deal of fun too!’

The official music video was shot in New York City, USA, being the Baracuda’s first ever international shoot! The single will be available to purchase as a digital download across all online platforms on Wednesday 21st September, with the simultaneous release of the music video. So turn up your speakers, and find yourself chanting along with the anthemic chorus... ‘I Don’t Really Know Ya!’

I Don't Really Know Ya

Swami Baracus x Panjabi Scratch Addicts - Underground Freestyle

West London-based rapper Swami Baracus has been rapping from a very early age, crafting his style and flow, whilst developing his lyrical content. Having been influenced by a diverse range of urban rap acts, he wrote from the perspective of a British-born Asian representing on the microphone and detailed reflective accounts on society, current affairs and issues. 

Eventually, dedication prevailed, culminating in a meeting with legendary Asian DJ/producer, the Xzecutive San-J Sanj. His first break was being featured on San-J Sanjs Club Bomb-Bass show on the pioneering BBA Radio. Though initially only commissioned for a one-off appearance, he became a regular during Sanjs 4 week slot, with freestyles and verses over top Hip-Hop beats. Having continued to do gigs with Sanj and Ameet Chana and appearing alongside top DJ acts, Sanj and Swami eventually got together in the studio to record the hit track Where U @ Bro, which received substantial airplay from BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, Kiss 100, Galaxy FM and BBC Asian Network.

Through the success of the tune, Baracus performed at the UK Asian Music Awards press launch event and was the first Asian rapper to be featured on the UK Dubstate segment on DJ Excalibah's legendary 'Tales From The Legend' Hip-Hop show on BBC 1Xtra. 

Having won the 2006 Asian 8-Mile MC Battle contest at Radio 1 DJ Nihal's monthly clubnight 'Bombay Bronx', Baracus has since featured on hit tracks 'One Blood UK', 'My Shoes', 'Brown Boys', 'This DJ' and 'United We Stand', as well as performing at numerous events across the country.

After a brief hiatus, SB released a comeback single, 'Break This Game', which received huge critical and commercial acclaim. The video was Number 1 on the BritAsia TV Chart Show, and the subsequent Hindi version has been playlisted on BBC Radio 1 and radio stations abroad. Currently recording his forthcoming solo mixtape featuring the top artists and producers of the scene, check out more from SB in the coming weeks and months!
