At the end event of Conspiracy For Good, Swish performed alongside Dave Stewart, Ann Marie-Calhoun, and Nadirah X. After London, Swish and Nadirah flew to Jamaica, and received an email from Dave Stewart asking them to start a duo. Swish and Nadirah agreed, and after Stewart named them "Mr & Mrs. Swish" they began working on production for the project, and the two wrote the songs together.

2012: Mr and Mrs EP release
In 2012, Swish released an EP with Nadirah X under the Mr & Mrs name, as a free download. The EP received positive reviews in The Huffington Post and LA Weekly, which praised his production style and their lyrical ability. In a YouTube interview by the blog "At Street Level", their music and production was described as 'unique.' Dave Stewart is quoted as saying, "It's refreshing seeing a married couple working intensely together rapping about stuff that directly relates to them and their situation: one so many other couples can relate to," Stewart said. "I liken their spirit to Ashford and Simpsons when they sang 'solid, solid as a rock.'" Because of the success of the EP, Swish and Nadirah X have met with various record labels.
In 2012, Swish was featured on Bishop Lamont's mixtape, The Layover, twice. Swish can be heard on one track called "Trail Mix" and a second track entitled, "I Swear", featuring Royce da 5'9". Swish previously worked with Bishop on a track entitled "It's Over" featuring Rapper Big Pooh.
