In an interview on Nice Kicks with Ian Stonebook, Lanez described his personal style as Swavey: “Swavey is a two-adjective word. A lot of people use it as an attribute, but the real definition of swavey is a genre of music. The genre of music is the genre of fusing more than one together. I know it sounds strange, but if you ask an artist what they do they’re going to say that they rap, they sing, they do rock-a lot of people are multi-talented. They get looked at confused, but I don’t think that they’re confused. I feel that they’re just talented, swavey artists. Labels want to put you in one lane, but I feel like there are so many people are more than that and they’re swavey artists.”
