Over two years ago, Malibu rapper Shwayze was recording music for fun with Whitestarr singer Cisco Adler serving as his producer and laying down some vocals. Who would have guessed that 22-year-old Shwayze would end up signed to Geffen Records or that his single "Buzzin' " would be played on both mainstream radio and an episode of "The Hills." Did we mention that Shwayze and Adler appear in a car for commercial for Pontiac with "Buzzin' " playing in the background!?



Buzznet caught up with Shwayze and Adler at "The Hills" season finale party in Hollywood to discuss some of the new tracks on the record (due out July 15). Read on to find out what Shwayze and Adler really think of "The Hills" and what tunes the duo have discovered themselves from watching television.

Buzznet: When does your album come out?

Shwayze: July 15th

Buzznet: And other than "Buzzin' " [Shwayze's current single] what songs should people look out for?
