The Architect

Robert Aguilar, aka Rob Swift, got his start as a DJ at age 12, pursued his love for music and joined the groundbreaking tuntablist crew the X-ecutioners in 1991, and has been turning out great music ever since. 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 takes Hip Hop and effortlessly blends it with the genre of 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. With only one MC as a special guest on The Architect, Breez Evahflowin, who brilliantly rhymes about the album's concept on tracks 'Principio' and 'Ultimo,' Rob predominantly uses the turntable to build compositions that express his creative state of mind via the careful placement of cuts and scratches of symphonic like instruments. Rob Swift is always in perpetual motion, pushing the boundaries of what he does and connecting with audiences by all means necessary.
