Shwayze        

Rapper

Shwayze is the stage name of Aaron Smith, an American rapper. His first single "Buzzin'" peaked at #46 on the Billboard Hot 100. His second single "Corona and Lime," reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and #3 in the US iTunes Store. Shwayze's self-titled debut album, which Cisco Adler co-wrote, was released on August 19, 2008.

After recording several tracks with Cisco Adler, the duo was signed to Geffen and a self-titled album was produced. Adler helped with songwriting, production and backup vocals. "Buzzin'" was released as the first single off that album, entitled Shwayze. Buzzin' was released on August 19, 2008 and was the first single released off the album Shwayze. Corona and Lime soon followed. "Buzzin'" shot up the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #46 and Corona and Lime reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100. Despite being all but ignored in the hip hop community, Buzzin' gained its popularity in the pop world. It inspired the show Buzzin' on MTV and was also featured in Pontiac commercials. The misadventures of Shwayze and Cisco Adler appeared to marketers as a successful advertising campaign.

His debut self-entitled album Shwayze was released in August 2008 and its two singles did relatively well on the charts. The album debuted at #10 on the Billboard and sold 47,000 copies in its first week while receiving mixed reviews from critics.

Shwayze and Adler are the focus of a reality television series on MTV, Buzzin', which debuted on July 23, 2008. The show has now stopped with a replacement of Let it Beat TV on iamrogue.com. He has been also known to work with rapper Chris Young of Banana Beat Records.

Smith is featured in a sketch on Nick Swardson's Pretend Time.
