| Swollen Members have risen to the top of the underground hip-hop scene with a series of classic albums that have made them one of the genre's brightest rising stars. Founded by two of the Vancouver's most recognized MCs, Mad Child and Prevail, along with the help of DJ Rob The Viking, the group has created a huge fan base while staying completely independent under their own label Battle Axe Records. Swollen had taken a break over the past few years while Mad Child dealt with some legal issues, but, the group has come back stronger than ever with their brand new album Armed To The Teeth which Prevail says "a prequel to another new album that will becoming out in 2010 called Beautiful Death Machine." Featuring guest appearances by Talib Kweli, Moka Only, Krondon & Phil Da Agony (of Strong Arm Steady), Everlast & Slaine (of La Coka Nostra) Tech N9NE and newly added member Tre Nyce. Also featuring production by DJ Kemo of Canada's other most famously recognized rap groups The Rascalz, Moka Only and more. | |
