Early Life and Career
Darin “Philly” Swain[2] was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1982. From humble beginnings in Southwest Philadelphia, where he’s still known as a local street ball legend, a young Philly (born Darin Swain) was quickly snapped up by the now infamous label Takedown Records. Touring with Jay Z, Clipse, Dip Set and Missy Elliot, things were looking bright for Philly until a wrong move saw him serve three years in jail and his album was duly shelved, as documented in The Hustle Diaries, directed by Barry Michael Cooper.
After winning Freestyle Fridays[3], he went 31-0 on MTV’s Fight Club and when his Grind Time battle premiered on worldstarhiphop.com, it racked up a record-breaking 3.5 million total views.
With a nomination for Philadelphia’s Hip Hop Artist of the Year under his belt, Philly starred in the network show The Swagger Family and released his debut album Mr. Philadelphia on Sony. In the MC battlefield, Philly was still holding his own, winning the Eminem Red Bull Tournament as Best MC. However, competing across the world in multiple battle leagues was taking away from Philly’s time in the studio and so, at the top of his game, Philly decided to retire, but not before another documentary was made, called The Last Battle[4].
