A South African rapper, out of the heart of Johannesburg.  Transcending the face of African Hip Hop, and moulding into a sound that is imperfect, a sound that is ambiguous, ground breaking and earth shattering, a sound that is breath-taking, an extraordinary sound, the sound of a new generation.

Priddy Ugly is pioneering a sound and style that will take South African and African Hip Hop to international platforms.

"Words are my pencil, beats are my paper, music is my art, and style.. Well that's in my genes, and the fit is so comfortable."

Chuma Mhlawuli best known as CSWALO / SWALO, is a song writer, young independent rapper from South African, Cape Town.

 

Personal Life

I'm the last born from my mother and the first born from my father, I grew up in a Township called Gugulethu, that's where I began with the music career. I started playing soccer in a very young age then i ended up quitting it for music, I met friends that were groupies, then started to become a problem at school, Peer-pressure was taking over my life. I started smoking, drinking and Bullying other children at Primary school because I was their senior.
In 2005 I fond with music, Listening to another group of music that is still Inspiring me even today, called DRIEMANSKAP, that used to perform in Sports Complex back then.

I was so Inspired and Motivated by them because they were Encouraging young people to focus on a healthy lifestyle and more about living right.

 

Music Career 

I started rapping in 2005 by freestyling do acapella beats that we used to make it by our hands and mouth, I was too serious about rap games a lot then started to attend free gigs and shows for battles and competitions. In 2007 I recorded my songs by a cell phone and downloaded beats so that people can hear what I was all about.

It was the struggle to find studio and  record an mp3 because I was young and my Family couldn't accommodate for me. I focused on this career because I taught myself not to give up.

I took music as my Ambition, In 2015 I met DAT Click (Dominate Assassinate Takeover) That's where I started recording my first good quality song called KNOW WHO WE ARE. Those friends really helped me with recording and supporting my brand. Back then again, I recorded another Debut song of love and Joy titled THELI MALI , that's when I reached a fan base around Cape town.

Radio Stations and Television Programmes interviewed me the my Brand was glowing around the Townships.

 I released various mixtapes and EP's titled I AM SWALO, Life of a Hustler, EGO MY PRIDE. I marketed the brands, selling the Discs around the Townships, performances and schools then People tend to know me.

In 2017 on the 19th of August I made a very huge event known as Fill Up Guga Sthebe, I also gained exposure from it. Now I am working on my 2018 Extended Play Project titled The Last Supper and I already dropped  three singles titled FOREAL , Tshepang Mohale and Chill Bro.
