notes

R-Swift, a native New Yorker, now resides in Philadelphia, is an avid poet and lyricist. Although he began rapping when he was 11 years old, God inspired him to start his ministry at the age of 17 in 1998. Initially, he only rapped within the walls of his church - The Oasis of Praise Ministries Church, Philadelphia PA. However, the Lord has seen fit to expand his boundaries and enlarge his territory.

At age 15, R-Swift was a member of the Philadelphia Boys Choir & Men's Choral, an award recipient of the Concerned Black Men Inc., and a featured performer at the William Ross Scholarship Banquet. Currently, Swift is actively involved with the Youth Study Center in Philadelphia, a detention center for youth offenders, where he ministers the Gospel every second Sunday. He attributes his bold lyrics and strong messages to the unction of the Holy Spirit and the influence of his former Pastor and Founder of The Oasis of Praise Ministries, the late Reid Prettyman. Pastor Reid (as he was affectionately called) never minced words and shot straight from the hip - he too was a bold soldier and General for the Lord.

R-Swift gives all Glory to God, who is the Author and the Finisher of his faith. He is a faithful member of his church and actively serves as a teacher and mentor to the youth. Through lyrical evangelism, teaching and preaching, he is fulfilling the vision that God has given him - to tell the untold and reach the un-reached. To rebuild ancient ruins, to raise up age old foundations, to be a repairer of broken walls, and restorer of the streets; in accordance to Isaiah 58:12.

    This is one for the Hip Hop collection! I know I'm behind the power curb for this being new but I'm just now discovering how big the entire Christian Hip Hop scene. I first heard R-swift on CM's Eternal Cypha and I was wondering if any of the Cat on the joint had released albums besides Truth and Flame. Anyway I love it I can't wait 'til the next album drops. I hope to hear something new from R-Swift soon. Do your thang Swift and continue to follow the blessings of God.

  • "ILLY FROM PHILLY"
    author: Joestar14

    One of the illest mc's I've ever heard. His word play on this album is phenomenal. He takes you deep into his struggles, insecurities of life and finally his triumphs. Is it a freestyle or is it written. This album will keep you guessing. Whatever it is? the tracks keep you wanting more of the that street sweeper cleaning.

  • Greatness
    author: Jerry Simon

    This cd is very great. From hearing R-Swift on the Cross Movement's Holy Culture, I knew that when R-Swift came out with a cd, it would be good. So I purchased Elevation and I wasn't disappointed. His style of rap is very similar to the Cross Movement's. He using metaphors and simile in his rhymes to get the message across that God is supreme. I recommend everyone check this cd out.
