Swirl Season, born January 13, 1997, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, and actor. Swirl Season first gained recognition in 2017 after the release of his debut mixtape, Gateway 2 Greatness 2. His music is described as a southern hip hop style with edgy content containing lyrical themes based on his personal points of view. Swirl Season began growing his famous dreadlocks in 2010 and began recording freestyle music right away under the name Lil Swirl. His sound spread throughout his school in Tennessee and quickly added to his popularity as the new kid. He continued to attract attention from music by releasing mixtapes online and selling CD's to his classmates. Swirl Season released a mixtape titled 'Gateway 2 Greatness' in 2015, months before his high school graduation, and it gained popularity throughout his hometown and surrounding cities. He also connected with a young producer from London, England, RazorOnTheTrack, and signed a short contract with his label, Subzero Music Group. The two worked on a few tracks together such as "Chosen One," "Too," and "Sideline" (with Yung Shonen) until the young artists and producers on the label went their separate ways creatively. "Gateway 2 Greatness 2" was a digital mixtape released by Swirl Season in April of 2017 that quickly gained worldwide recognition and is probably his most known project to date. It was an experimental mixture of music expressing his life and lyrical skills in different music styles. It featured tracks such as "Paid Again" which was produced by RazorOnTheTrack, an up-tempo southern U.S./England combo track mixed with smooth bubbly instruments, heavy 808's, and fast lyrics, alongside "Car Shoppin'" which was recorded in his hometown of Union City, Tennessee with Drizz Maddox (founder of Team Astute brand) and Arizona (a local engineer). A raunchy track titled, "Dreams Too Big For Love," debuted as the number one single from the project as he went on to perform the single throughout Tennessee and Kentucky during 2017. “Gateway 3: The Forbidden Odyssey” released on June 27, 2018. It landed 8 tracks that were executive written and engineered by Swirl Season in the span of 5 months (January 2018 - May 2018). The album is an honest recollection of his sudden broken lifestyle which he called a “forbidden odyssey.” The album was written and recorded during the lowest times of his young life and was the result of heartbreak and lead to his isolation from the outside world. It featured emotional tracks such as "Romeo" which quickly became his most streamed song ever and was titled after Shakespeare's famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, and "No Way," which was a written as Swirl Season giving himself personal advice about how to deal with his own struggles. "Gateway 3.5 (Reloaded)" released in September of 2018 as a combination album. It feature the most popular tracks from Swirl Season's previous two projects. "Gateway 2 Greatness 2" needed to reach the newest music and video streaming platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify. He was able to re-release several of the tracks with the new project. "Romeo's Dead" was Swirl Season's final release of 2018. It debuted on December 21 and consisted of five tracks. It displayed a wide range of music types. The album title revealed Swirl Seasons' admiration for the genius and flaws of the character, Romeo, in Shakespeares' "Romeo and Juliet." It featured tracks such as "One Last Call" in which Swirl Season displays his creativity as an artist and plays along with the idea of death and "My Message Won't Send" which quickly became a top track from the track list. "Dream Some More" was the lead single ahead of the album release. “WOLFPACK: NO TAMING, Vol. 1” released on February 3, 2021 as a joint album by Swirl Season to highlight new artists that he discovered in 2020 during the infamous Corona Virus pandemic: “Quick”, “Cain”, and “Killa”. A brand new group from Murfreesboro, Tennessee who collectively called themselves “The Wolfpack”. They made close friends with Swirl Season as he was looking for new musical inspiration during the world shut down. Swirl Season makes his first appearance on the project on the third track titled “Critical” as Quick and Cain took control of the album with the first track titled, “M.T. Cheese”. “Gateway 2 Greatness 4” released on September 15, 2021 as Swirl Season’s highly anticipated fourth solo project. A 9-track album that features artists from Wolfpack, a new artist from Atlanta, “Lil Yo”, and a posthumous track with a life-long friend of Swirl Season by the name of “J-Mo.” The album is heavily based with 808’s and filled with raunchy trap beats, lyrics, and sounds.
