Swizz along with four other bronx natives were also honored including David Zayas [Dexter show], Actress, Rachel Ticotin, NY Jets Guard William Colon III, and Tony Award winning stage actress, Priscilla Lopez.
Borough President, Rubin Diaz Jr. said this in a statement:
” 2014 is our country’s centennial, and I can think of no better way to celebrate the best of our borough than by welcoming home these five individuals, who have made a major impact in their respective fields, back to where it all began, right here in the Bronx. “
Swizz shared his appreciation of the honor saying:
” Today is a real day to remember for me. In 1998 today ‘Stop Drop’ came out. This very same day in 2014 to announce getting inducted into the Bronx Walk Of Fame. For that honor, the BX will name a street after me.
I’m calling it SWIZZ BEATZ ST. To reflect this great moment I went back to my old hood on Boston Rd and chilled in my old backyard #Bronx100 #BX ”
Swizz is currently studying at Harvard Business School.
