Swag Team is a hip hop trio made up of members Young Icon (Alex Schmidt), Bugadi Dooda (Marlon Conner), and AEGY (Austin Gile). Icon and AEGY began rapping together in school and liked how they sounded together on tracks, so decided to start the Swag Team group. Icon had been recording songs on his personal studio equipment, which led to the development of
Music Transit Studios. The two linked with another classmate, Dooda, and started to record and release their singles on YouTube. The Wisconsin trio soon decided to record a full mixtape, which became "Studio Sessions Vol. 1," recorded at
Music Transit Studios. The group lists influences as Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa, Wale, J. Cole, and Tyga.
Young Icon and AEGY are currently working on their second mixtape, featuring Bugadi Dooda on several tracks. Dooda is also busy compiling his solo mixtape.
