J-Sw!ft Borderless Madrid, Spain Juan Manuel Martinez, J-Sw!ft, hip hop artist, beat-breaker, and producer of Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, debuts his new genre Classic Hop piece, “J Thoven Opus 8:46.” Teamed with celebrated documentary filmmaker Ignacio Marin, this visually riveting music video evokes deep sorrow for George Floyd and pays tribute to him and other Black lives who have suffered by violence at the hand of those in power. The video creates a broader platform to foster worldwide change toward racial equality. J juxtaposes the imagery of society’s brutal baton of authority, with the baton of conducting a timeless, classical beat. J-Sw!ft is best known for his work on Delicious Vinyl with the groups The Pharcyde and The Wascals, rising to acclaim when he produced The Pharcyde's classic 1992 debut album, Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, featuring the hit single “Passin' Me By.” Pharcyde's debut went certified Gold. J remains working and living in Madrid, Spain.
