The Lacey-based duo of LA Swagga is comprised of the thin and dark chocolate-toned lyricist and MC battle champion, LA White, and the thicker businessman-turned-MC, caramel-colored personality, Swagg.  Both in their early twenties, they attended high school in Lacey and grew up together.  The fact both LA White and Swagg come from motivated households gives clear insight about how they chose their title, and even more understanding about how confidently they walk, talk and -most notably - rap.  LA put his name on the map with strength following a MC battle victory in spring 2009, and as a duo the pair gained local momentum in the summer of ‘09 with two singles, "'80s Baby" and "Money Walk" from their debut, For The Fam.

They are readying for the release of their sophomore offering, LA Swagga is Mr. Gold Medals and Mr. Blue Ribbons - dropping June 10.
