Shwayze and Cisco Adler Bring their Buzz to CosmoGirl

Are you the kind of girl who likes "hip hop and rock and roll"? If so, you’ll probably love 22-year-old MTV star Shwayze’s self-titled debut, a breezy yet beat-filled album he made in conjunction with legendary socialite Cisco Adler (release date: August 19.)

Cisco and Shwayze stopped by the offices last week, and I had a hilarious time listening to them talk about their friendship and their new show, "Buzzin". I must say — It’s pretty sick that my job includes challenging rock stars to a game of CosmoGirl truth or dare. We made them reveal intimate childhood details and show us pictures from their phone — they had me and my lovely fellow intern, Katie, cracking up as they tried to yodel and do "the worm" in our tiny conference room. In the middle of their visit, Cisco even told us his last text was from fellow socialite/Gossip Girl guest star Lydia Hearst!

Cisco and Shwayze then talked about how they met in Malibu — a town they referred to as "24 miles of scenic backstabbing", which I loved — and about how their laid-back beach-party lifestyle soon became more than just a way to pass the time when they decided to start writing songs about it. The end result is an album and a reality show that follows their exploits, on on Mondays at 10:30 on MTV (watch the first episode here!).

If you’re lamenting the fact that there’s only a month left of summer, check out Shwayze’s tracks — "Corona and Lime" and "Buzzin'" are out now. They’ll at least help you pretend that you’re on a beach somewhere in California.

Tell me what you think!
