Hey, Mum! Turn Graham Kenrick off for a moment and hear this. "Pass me a dose of the formula/What I need most is the formula/Better get with the Holy Ghost n'em." Gran, put Daniel O'Donnell down and kick it with the A-1 Swift: "One morning, I took some clothes to unfold/I started noticing strongholds/To my surprise I found the demonic forces sitting on my counter/Do I get the roach spray (naw) it won't work/I drop the bomb." And for you Bro', "And when the walls are closing in don't get nervous/'Cause you can be strong and of good courage/But there's only one logical move - throw up your hands, praise God and get loose." Hay Sis, "You know the deal (Hey)/Don't you wanna know the Lord is real (haaa)./Now that you know that the word is coming at ya/This ain't no music to mack ta/You know the deal." Great stuff from this California-based, husband and wife team of gospel hip-hoppers. 11 tracks filled with hard hitting lyrical truths. Turn the system right up and let the 'Tales From The Swift' come right at ya.
