Swindoe is the self-titled album by American rapper SwinDoe. It is also his first studio album. It was released independently on February 8, 2010.
iTunes album review stated Arizona rapper SwinDoe's self-titled effort is a sure and exciting debut suggesting that hip-hop's seldom heard cactus league deserves more time in the spotlight. Opening with a Game-like story of struggle ("God is a blacksmith/Look how he pounded me”) called "I Knew It," the album struts like a major-label release right from the start, gaining momentum with club tracks like the party-time "Blkberry 2.0" and tempering all the street fury with well-placed bedroom numbers such as the second-half highlight "Victim of Desire." The guest list might be unknown but it is talented, and the man at the center of it all is a versatile mix of Plies and Jay-Z with a unique Arizona twist. Check the moving closer "That's Why" for the best example of his insightful writing style.[1]
It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at the number 123 position. It also debuted on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums at #28, #2 on the Heatseekers Albums chart, Top Rap Albums at #10 and debuted at #14 on the Independent Albums chart.
