North London rapper Sway presents his turbo-charged, party single Mercedes-Benz. The first Sway release to roll off the production line in several months, this freshly polished, fun-loving track shows the lighter side of the versatile, finely-tuned vocalist.
Continuing hip-hop�s long-held tradition of reinventing existing material, Sway deploys The 45 King�s widely sampled classic The 900 Number as his backing track. The hypnotically-catchy sax-driven stomp of The 900 Number is constructed from a slowed down sample of 70�s belter Unwind Yourself by Marva Whitney which was itself produced by The Godfather Of Soul, James Brown. Sway sent a rough demo version of Mercedes-Benz directly to The 45 King who loved the result and promptly personally approved the use of his track. The 45 King�s previous production credits include Jay Z�s 'Hard Knock Life' and Eminem�s 'Stan' -two of the biggest records in hip-hop�s history.
Sway�s Mercedes-Benz has already been named a 'Hottest Record In The World� by BBC Radio 1�s Zane Lowe -other early supporters along for the ride include DJ Swerve, DJ Yoda, Nick Grimshaw, Ras Kwame and Mista Jam.
Sway also recently performed the single on Big Brother�s Big Mouth, opening and closing the E4 show in style.
Mercedes-Benz is revving up for a 26th October release via Sway�s own 'Dcypha Productions� label. When not hitting the road in his reliable German automobile, Sway can currently be found in the studio working on further race-ready material that�s set to keep him in pole position.
