Swings' Upgrade album series represents the culmination of 16 years of his artistic journey. Swings has always enjoyed evolving in various aspects, as evidenced by his recent successful weight loss, the establishment of AP Alchemy, and his long-standing activity transitioning from an underground to a mainstream artist. The reason behind naming this album Upgrade 5 is multifaceted. Despite being signed to the major label P NATION for three years, Swings had not released a single album, a situation that only increased the pressure over time. This period of inactivity is unprecedented in Swings' 17-year career, leading to considerable doubt and disappointment among fans. Additionally, as Swings has aged along with his career, there's been skepticism about his ability to maintain the youthful energy so prized in the hip-hop genre, especially after a three-year hiatus. Therefore, confronting these challenges head-on seems like the cleanest way to make a comeback. With a new sound, a long-awaited new album, a new company, and in the new era post-COVID and post-major hip-hop broadcasting shows like Show Me the Money, it's time to prove his worth once again with this daring album title.

Given that his visibility is at an all-time high in his 17-year career, this album is poised to be the most crucial release in Swings' career.
