Swings (rapper)
Moon Ji-hoon (Korean: 문지훈, born October 14, 1986), better known by the stage name Swings (스윙스), is a South Korean rapper. Formerly under the label Brand New Music, he is currently signed to P Nation.[unreliable source?]
Swings debuted in 2008 with the extended play Upgrade. He joined the hip hop group Uptown in 2009 but left by the end of the year. He released his first full-length album, Growing Pains, in 2010.
He gained popularity after competing on the second season of the TV rap competition Show Me the Money in 2013. That summer, Swings triggered a "Control Diss Phenomenon" within the Korean hip hop scene with the release of his diss track "King Swings Part 2", over the instrumental of Big Sean's "Control", in which he accused rapper Simon Dominic of not protecting his Supreme Team member E-Sens from an alleged slave contract offered by label Amoeba Culture.[unreliable source?][unreliable source?] Swings was named Artist of the Year for 2013 by Korean hip hop magazine HIPHOPPLAYA.[unreliable source?]
The "Control Diss Phenomenon" marked a significant point in Swings' career. At the time, diss battles were relatively uncommon in South Korean hip hop, which had adopted the genre's culture later than other markets. The event encouraged other rappers to engage in competitive battles, helping to establish diss culture as a more prominent part of the South Korean hip hop scene.
In 2014, he returned to Show Me the Money as a producer for its third season, alongside established rappers including San E and Tablo.[unreliable source?]
Swings left the label Brand New Music in August 2014 to focus his own record label, Just Music. The label currently represents the rappers Black Nut, Giriboy, Genius Nochang, C Jamm, and Vasco.
In April 2017, it established its second label, Indigo Music. It has become one of the most notable hip-hop labels, recruiting Yang Hongwon (previously known as Young B), Kid Milli, Justhis, Jvcki Wai, and Noel as its artists.
Psy announced on Instagram on April 29, 2021, that Swings had signed a contract with P Nation. Three years following his signing, he announced his eighth studio album Upgrade V as his first release under the company, to be released on March 8, 2024.
