Swass is the debut album by Sir Mix-a-Lot. It was released in 1988 on NastyMix and re-released on CD by Def American Recordings. The album featured the singles 'Posse on Broadway', 'Square Dance Rap', 'Iron Man' and 'Rippn'. In 1990, the album received a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America.

According to Sir Mix-a-Lot, the word 'swass' originally was an inside joke with no meaning in itself. After the album's release, the word came to mean 'Some Wild Ass Silly Shit'.^[6]

• The Ultimate Freak: Sir Mix-a-Lot Still Swass by Kyle Eustice In the early ‘90s, Seattle native Sir Mix-a-Lot proudly proclaimed: “I like big butts and I cannot lie” on 1992’s Mack Daddy, his third studio album and first for Def American.
• Sir Mix-A-Lot is one of greatest ironies in the history of rap. His occasional sociopolitical statements show he can be every bit as intelligent a commentator as KRS-One or Chuck D, but Mix's forte has always been the type of fun, escapist, even goofy fare that dominates his debut album, Swass.

The hook of the song 'Swass' is reprised in 'Don't Cha' by Pussycat Dolls featuring Busta Rhymes.^[7]
