Los Angeles rapper Swifty Blue opened up about the complexities of being a Latino artist in the city’s gang-influenced music scene. Emphasizing the importance of staying clear of gang conflicts, he explained that focusing on music and family is essential for success. When asked about collaborations between Sureño and Norteño rappers, Swifty Blue expressed cautious optimism, stating such partnerships are possible but require going through proper channels to navigate longstanding tensions. Though uncertain if this will happen soon, he’s open to the idea, noting the potential for joint tours and business opportunities. Swifty Blue also highlighted his efforts to separate himself from artists deeply involved in gang rivalries, making gigs in Northern California a more viable option. While acknowledging the historical beefs adopted by their communities, he avoids dissing Northern Cali rappers in his lyrics and promotes unity through music and business, hoping the streets can eventually embrace change.
