Cisco, what was your first impression of Shwayze?
Cisco: He's a lot like me when I was younger. I'm still young, I hope. I'm turning dirty 30 in about three weeks. My first impression was that he's a young, hungry kid with a lot of charisma and untapped talent. So I just wanted to mold that, make it into something. We didn't even know we were going to do something together. I was just going to produce a traditional hip-hop record with him. But four songs into it, we stumbled upon "Buzzin" 'cause I rearranged a demo I'd made of just folk songs and he rapped over it.
