Current Washington resident and West Covina, California transplant Swag has been arrested in conjunction with an Oxycontin. Swag (real name Jevon Lawson) began 2010 by premiering a Jim Jones featured single, “Swag’n” on BET’s “106 & Park.” He ended the year, after he and several others were arrested in a raid conducted by federal agents on December 16.
In January of 2010, Seattle Weekly reported Lawson inked a deal with Warner Music Group. And the rapper’s still-active MySpace page, lists him as a WMG artist and CEO of his own Paper Route Music Records imprint. In addition to the Jim Jones collaboration, Lawson worked with Kokane and booked Juvenile for a Seattle-area performance.
Now, the 37-year-old Lawson remains behind bars after a two-year investigation allegedly linked him to a massive Oxycontin trafficking ring. Using informant testimony from unsealed arrest warrants, The Everett Daily Herald reports Lawson was willing to pay upwards of $460,000 for a large quantity of prescription painkillers. In addition to the Oxycontin ring, Lawson was also indicted in July for organizing an armed robbery which brought in over $40,000.

Smh dang. this dudes from my city an i’m just now hearin about him had to check him out. he’s not garbage but he’s not dope either but he does spit some real stuff depending on the track. te song wit jim jones is a coo single it’s not dope bbut it’s coo he got a song wit gucci that’s garbage i don’t even gotta day why. but he does got a joint with nipsey an kokane that’s pretty coo an probly his best song ya’ll should check it out it’s called “bigger than you think”. anyway good luck to the dude even though he shoulda stopped with the bs after he got signed.
