"Check out Boston’s freshest Hip Hop act Laz and Cat with their new single Swagger Dance"

Laz and Cat, self-proclaimed Hip-Hop Dynamic-Duo, from Boston are releasing their third single off their debut album – TRICITY VOL. 1, entitled “SWAGGER DANCE,” a bass-booming, vibration-moving, dirty-south inspired hip-hop song that encourages people to make your own dance move no matter how crazy or ridiculous it may be. You can listen to and download “Swagger Dance” here: bit.ly/SwaggerDance.

Laz and Cat are “two minds” from different lifestyles who have come together to make “one sound” in current Hip-Hop styles with a mild fusion in Pop & R&B styles. You can describe this duo as exciting, entertaining, engaging, and a “production force” able to produce music & film all in-house.

If you like New Boyz’ Jerk and Cali Swag District’s Teach Me How to Dougie, listen to Laz and Cat’s new single “SWAGGER DANCE”. You can copy the Jerk or the do the Dougie, but if you got your own swagger you can make your own dance.

"This song (Swagger Dance) is definitely a different, energetic, and fresh concept that Laz & I put together in the studio, and personally I think will catch on like wildfire once people hear it" says Cat. "If you got yourself a little Swag, meaning confidence, that innate quality that makes you a very special person, and you can do whatever dance you can do fluently, and you put a little swag on it, then you got yourself a dance."

Swagger Dance is off of Laz & Cat's debut album, "Tricity Vol. 1" which is available on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Rhapsody, Napster, Sprint & Verizon VCAST, among many other online retail websites worldwide.
