Always challenging the idea of what hip-hop is, and testing that notion any chance he can get, on his new album ‘The Architect’, Rob Swift takes hip-hop and effortlessly blends it with Classical music to create an album that acts as the soundtrack to his vision of where hip-hop can head, rather than where it is right now.
‘The Architect’ also marks Rob Swift’s debut release on Mike Patton’s Ipecac Recordings label, a perfect fit as both men have been challenging the traditional notions of music for years. They have previously toured together promoting Patton’s Peeping Tom project and their collaborative effort General Patton Vs. The X-excutioners.
