StayGoldenSwerve: The Hometown Hero

East coast rapper and creative StayGoldenSwerve is putting on for his city in a major way. Having recently landed a feature on Sprite’s official SpriteWay playlist, he is at the top of his career! But one thing that is for certain is that his hometown of Harrisburg, PA, is the foundation of music creativity.

I had the pleasure of catching up with Swerve for a quick interview as he discusses Sprite, his “Golden” single, and being a hometown hero. Check it out below.
