S.W.I.S.H stands for successful, wise, independent, staying humble. The whole movement is dedicated
to the minority, for every individual whom was told they cannot make it, to those with shattered dreams,
the less fortunate. Calico strongly stresses in his movement that you dont have to be a drug dealer or a
rapper to become successful, and to also not only follow your dreams, but to grab them and stand up for
what you believe in. The "SWISHGANG" movement arose over night as "SWISH" is Calico's

or just simply "swish". Now reunited with Bleu Davinci, the "BMF/SWISHGANG" continues to express their campaign of
non violence and unity. SWISHGANG has grown so large whereas it has broken down into divisions;
"SWISHGANG WEST" "SWISHGANG SPAIN" "SWISHGANG GERMANY" & "SWISHGANG CANADA"
Though some music may be appear negative, the message is clearly in the open, stories are told
from lifestyles in which listeners havent or may have experienced, therefore the edge is there "everyone doesnt have to go
through some of the same struggles that we had to, thats why well tell the stories of the streets to the street also so people that didnt come from where we from can understand" - Calico Jonez
