D12 Role

Since joining D12, Swift has been a popular member of the group. He is featured in almost every song, and most of his verses occur towards the beginning of songs. Swift starred in the song "Instigator" featured on the Devil's Night album as he did the chorus and rapped in 2 of the 5 verses.New music from Swifty McVay can be heard at:http://www.myspace.com/dafyredapartment

Prison

A day after a warrant was issued for his arrest, D12 member Swift was sentenced April 20, 2006 to 93 days in jail for violating terms of his probation in a drunk driving case. According to authorities, Swift was found near his Novi, Michigan home and was escorted by police to the court where Judge Mackenzie, who issued the arrest warrant, sentenced him to 93 days in the Oakland County Jail, with 10 days credit for time he previously spent in jail for the same offense. Swift missed his court hearing to attend fellow group member Proof's funeral.
