Remix: Swagger Rite – “In Love With The K” ft. BlocBoy JB
The Toronto Trapper and the Memphis Rising Star Connect to Pledge Allegiance To Their Favorite Toy
The Video:
With an animated flow and a preference for heavy and hypnotic production, Swagger Rite is Toronto’s next top trapper. Updating a raucous single from earlier this year with a new verse, Swagger Rite shares “In Love With The K” (Remix). Combining fluttering synth stabs with heaping doses of distorted low-end, “In Love With The K” (Remix) boasts an animated new verse from BlocBoy JB, whose colorful ad-libs and rude punchlines provide a perfect counterpoint to Swagger Rite’s soft-loud dynamics. The follow-up to the video for “Drop Top,” which boasted appearances from Yella Beezy and Flipp Dinero, “In Love With The K” (Remix) is the latest release on the road to Swagger Rite’s upcoming EP, due in November 2019.
Growing up on the West Side of Toronto, Swagger Rite started rapping at the age of 13, finding equal inspiration in technical, old-school rappers like Big Daddy Kane as aggressive trapsters like Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane. In recent years, Swagger Rite began to find his voice, and his fans, on SoundCloud, sharing anthems as diverse as the Caribbean-flavored “Friends” and the mournful “Judah,” which samples XXXTentacion‘s “Jocelyn Flores.” Just as his hometown team reached their first-ever NBA Championship, Swagger Rite gained traction with the Toronto Raptors anthem “Finals,” which earned over 200k plays on SoundCloud. With the upcoming EP, Swagger Rite looks to change the narrative of Toronto hip-hop, proving that the North can trap just as hard as the South.

The Background:
Growing up near Toronto’s Weston Road (noted on Drake’s “Weston Road Flows”), rapper Swagger Rite has seen a life full of dualities; success and heartbreak, hustling and blue-collar work, fame and dead ends. But it’s these same dualities that envelop his music so strongly and allows him to share the complexities of his community. With collaborations with Flipp Dinero, Yella Beezy, and BlocBoy JB on the books, Swagger Rite is preparing to blow up in a big way in 2019.
