Line 15:
With his own “Fat House Productions” acts [[Jazzyfatnastees]] and Quinton, J-Swift signed an ill-fated million dollar deal with [[Tommy Boy Records]] in 1993. Another of his groups, The Wascals, dropped several singles including “Class Clown” and “The Dips” in ’94, but broke up before releasing their debut. (Wascals’ Greatest Hits, completely produced by J-Swift, was finally released by Delicious Vinyl in 2007.) In the mid-‘90s, J-Swift lent his signature style to a string of remixes, including Prince’s “Letitgo (Sherm Stick Edit),” [[Massive Attack]]’s “Protection,” and [[Urban Thermo Dynamics]]’ “Manifest Destiny” (featuring a young [[Mos Def]]).
J-Swift was the subject of the 2007 documentary film ''[[1 More Hit]]''.<ref name=laweekly>{{cite web|last1=Weiss|first1=Jeff|title=J-Swift Made Big Hits

J-Swift recorded new tracks from 2005 through 2010, providing not only the beats but also the rhymes. Featuring soul-baring rap confessionals (“Off My Chest”) and tales of perseverance through struggles (“Born To Win Despite Myself”) — while still celebrating recreational drug use (“I’ll Do Mine”) — J-Swift’s new project began with an alter ego '''Negro Kanevil'''.
