Pittsburgh-bred American hip-hop recording artist Terry Jones released his fiery new single, “Swervin Like Swayze,” on February 20, 2025. The track pays tribute to the late great actor Patrick Swayze with his effortless cool and commanding presence. “Swervin Like Swayze” combines aggressive beats with slick wordplay, embodying the movement, liberty, and boldness that made Swayze an icon.
Jones describes the song as an anthem for those who live life with intention and assuredness, like Swayze did in his legendary roles. “The song is about being in your own lane—growing forward with confidence, taking fearless action, and never looking over your shoulder,” Jones explains. “Patrick Swayze had that ability to make everything seem so easy, whether it was in ‘Ghost,’ ‘Road House,’ or ‘Point Break’—he owned every frame. That’s the vibe I wanted to inject into this album.
Other than his professional career in music, Jones has also proved himself versatile as a comedian and actor, adding more dimensions to his craft. His versatility has enabled him to appeal to a diverse audience, interweaving comedy, and storytelling into his performance.
With his trademark blend of cinematic storytelling and lush soundscapes, Terry Jones continues to chart his own course in hip-hop. “Swervin Like Swayze” is a testament to his ability to pair cultural icons with contemporary beats, creating music that resonates with both longtime fans and newcomers.
