Indie Pop Artist Reveals Wistful Video about Coming Out and Self Love
Growing up in Santa Barbara, Dawson Fuss began starring in local musical productions and other theatre programs at the early age of five. This inspired him to pursue a music career where he could transform emotions into lyrics through the art of songwriting. Since then, his passion for music has only continued to grow, performing at his school in two choirs and most recently placing in the top-three local competition Teen Star Santa Barbara, which American Idol’s Randy Jackson judged. When Dawson isn’t creating music, he’s exploring other art mediums that he’s passionate about, including photography and cinematography.
SWN, who’s known for his distinguished skills in production, having previously worked alongside the likes of Unknown T, Loski, Dappy, Krept & Konan, and more, decided to step out the shadows earlier this year with the release of his recent single, ‘PS5’. The rising force has recently followed through with a summer-drenched single, ‘Tropicana’, that’s grounded with an acoustic led backdrop courtesy of Goon Cartel and Wildboy Ace. Expressing his infatuation with a love interest, the catchy hook and playful verses encapsulate the feeling of young love as summer draws to a close. Brushing those fall blues to the side, SWN further displays his ability to create quote-worthy bars through silk-like melodies and in turn form a wheel-up worthy banger, “Tropicana / Sweet ting, yeah she get it from her mama / So hood, she don’t even know her father / So what, she throw it back like it’s karma”.

Hot off the heels of his newest album, Offset Jim shares new visuals for “Off White Mikes” ft. EST Gee. The marriage of a bouncy DTB-produced bassline and menacingly urgent piano keys on the track’s instrumental sets the perfect stage for the emcees to exhibit their mastery of the unfazed flex. The track sees Jim expanding on his hustler’s manifesto in his signature style, rapping, “Come from a murder zone/Talkin’ murder on a burner phone,” with delivery so subtle, he could’ve recorded it at the library.
