Zire Tunes Presents
Swagger Jenkins the 5th
“Staying in Motion” turns the night drive into a grown-soul meditation on resilience, memory, family, purpose, and the road still ahead.
Swagger Jenkins the 5th is the musical persona of Tyrone “Zire” McCants— built from hip-hop memory, adult perspective, deep-baritone storytelling, visual imagination, observation, and life lived with enough mileage to know what matters.
“Staying in Motion” looks backward without living backward: every setback becomes fuel, every mile carries a lesson, and every bridge points toward what comes next.

Release Information
Staying in Motion.
A concise release record for listeners, editors, radio, playlists, interviewers, collaborators, and media partners.
New Single
Every mile means something.
“Staying in Motion” expands Swagger’s world beyond humor into reflection: a late-night record about carrying lessons, honoring relationships, and continuing forward with purpose.
The Night Drive
Dashboard light, wet streets, bridges, skyline, and midnight movement create the visual language of the record.
Rearview Lessons
The past is acknowledged without becoming the destination. Pressure and old chapters become fuel instead of anchors.
Deep-Baritone Soul
Swagger’s low, grounded delivery sits inside warm contemporary R&B and soul textures.
Family & Day Ones
The song recognizes family, lifelong friends, and the people who gave the road meaning.
City Memory
Boroughs, blocks, bridges, and familiar streets hold the memory of the younger dream and the grown perspective.
Forward Motion
Reflection is not retreat. The record is built around movement, purpose, resilience, and what still comes next.

Meet Swagger Jenkins the 5th
A gentleman. A griot. A storyteller in motion.
Swagger Jenkins the 5th is not built as a generic music persona. He is a grown NYC storyteller with warmth, style, wit, self-awareness, romantic confidence, reflection, and the ability to turn lived experience into memorable scenes.
The music is informed by hip-hop, soul, jazz, rhythm and blues, family life, Black cultural memory, relationships, fatherhood, humor, observation, and the discipline of a visual storyteller.
Rearview full of lessons. Windshield full of possibilities.
Swagger performs from inside the story. Mister T.Y. explains the vision. Mr. Bones protects the culture and memory.
