In an era where authenticity and connection define longevity, YSGDagoat and Tygr Swipy are proving that real chemistry cannot be manufactured. Their journey, rooted in genuine friendship and artistic alignment, has now come full circle with the official formation of their group, Altawam, a name that reflects their shared identity and unbreakable bond.
Their story began in July 2023 with the release of their first collaborative track, “Twin.” What started as a simple collaboration quickly revealed something deeper. The two artists discovered a natural creative rhythm that allowed them to complement each other effortlessly while still maintaining their individual voices. Rather than rushing into forming a group, they took the time to grow separately, building strong foundations as solo artists while continuing to collaborate consistently.
That balance became evident with YSGDagoat’s nine-track EP “Since 17,” released on January 17, 2024. The project showcased his evolving artistry and included key collaborations with Tygr Swipy on “Puerto Rico” and “Pull Up,” highlighting the dynamic energy they bring when working together. Not long after, Tygr Swipy stepped forward with his own solo statement, “Time Is Up,” released on May 31, 2024, further solidifying his presence and creative direction.
While both artists continued to grow individually, their connection never faded. Instead, it strengthened, both musically and personally. In 2025, their friendship reached a new level as they entered fatherhood. YSGDagoat welcomed his son, Kairo, with Tygr Swipy stepping in as godfather, while in a powerful twist of fate, Tygr Swipy also prepared to welcome his own son, Sekari, with YSGDagoat taking on the same role in return. These shared life milestones added new depth to their relationship, turning their bond into something that extends far beyond music.
Driven by a desire to elevate their craft, both artists made a calculated move later that year by enrolling at Full Sail University. Rather than relying solely on external resources, they chose to invest in themselves. YSGDagoat focused on music engineering, sharpening his technical skills, while Tygr Swipy pursued filmmaking, expanding his creative vision on the visual side. With guidance from their collaborator Jdkey, this decision marked a turning point in their careers, giving them greater control over their artistic output.
Despite taking on academic responsibilities, their momentum never slowed. They continued releasing music videos, collaborating on new records, and consistently delivering both solo and joint content. Their discipline and drive became a defining characteristic, setting them apart as artists who are fully committed to their evolution.
The start of 2026 brought two of their most personal projects to date. On February 17, YSGDagoat released “Kairo,” a heartfelt project inspired by his son, followed closely by Tygr Swipy’s “Sekari,” released on February 24, which carried the same personal significance. These releases not only showcased their growth as artists but also reflected the deeper motivations now fueling their music.
With years of collaboration, shared experiences, and creative growth behind them, the decision to officially form Altawam felt both natural and necessary. The group represents more than just a musical partnership. It is a symbol of loyalty, shared vision, and long-term commitment. Joining them in this new chapter are Vibedealerz, key contributors to their sound who now stand as part of the collective moving forward.
As Altawam takes shape, YSGDagoat and Tygr Swipy are stepping into a new level of artistry, one built on independence, skill, and a bond that cannot be replicated. Their story is not just about music, but about growth, trust, and building something meaningful from the ground up.
With a solid foundation and a clear vision ahead, Altawam is positioned to make a lasting impact, turning years of dedication into a future that feels both powerful and undeniable.
