Swizz Beatz x Rick Ross x DMX – “Just In Case”
Okay. A collabo with Rick Ross and DMX will get clicks and listens on sight. But this is DOPE beyond that. And of course, the result is an anthem!
The DMX comeback kicks off with a Rick Ross and Swizz Beatz collaboration.
In March, studio footage of DMX, Swizz Beatz, and Rick Ross surfaced, leaving fans excited at the prospect at a focused comeback from the beloved Dark Man. In a clip still available on Swizzy’s IG, the producer can be seen vibing in a packed studio, complete with Godfather Of Harlem star Forest Whittaker on hand.

Swizz Beatz Speaks Real Estate, Business & Education Moves And The “Godfather Of Harlem” Soundtrack (Video)
Richer than most, but still flying to see the Breakfast Club… on the red-eye… commercial… Jet Blue. Good thing, too. Swizz has some words for the Morning Crew and their listeners.

Snoop Dogg – “Countdown” feat. Swizz Beatz (Video)
So yeah, we doing it G style… West Coast OG style when we get something like this from Uncle Snoop. But what is when Swizz joins in? Well… this! Start the “Countdown”… 10, 9, 8…
(Off the “I Wanna Thank Me” LP).

Common – “Hercules” (Episode 2) feat. Swizz Beatz [Video]
Oh. They got an Episode 2 to this. Common. Getting busy. High concept black and white visuals for the banger with that Swizzy bounciness and signature overdub chanting.

Cassidy – “Save The Children” feat. Swizz Beatz
Hey, yo. It’s cold in here!
Cass Larsiny always, always, ALWAYS comes with the BARZ! Put the rhyme animal on a ominous high-energy track and a feature from Swizzy… and it is a WRAP son! There’s only time to “Save The Children.” For the rest of us, there is no escape. Cassidy is KILLING!
Common – “Hercules” feat. Swizz Beatz (Video)
YEAH!
“Let Love” win the day… Love for the people and the ‘hood… and sticking up for the bro working the corner store in the ‘hood. Common stepped up as a hero with the power of “Hercules” (with Swizz amping him on the soundtrack to this mini-movie). Empowering the sista and the brotha to help stop the othas from heisting and getting away with it.
A scene reminiscent of the Prince Akeem and Semmi takedown of Samuel Jackson’s character trying to rob McDowell’s in “Coming To America” (updated, just as cool though)!

Rick Ross – “Big Tyme” feat. Swizz Beatz
Kinda started low-key, but all of a sudden Swizz really opens up the Beatz for Rozay to go in on “Big Tyme!” Geeeeezzuuss!! Hahaaa!

Swizz Beatz – “Echo†feat. Nas (Video)
Swizzy & Nasir’s jawn “Echo” (off the “Poison” LP) gets the visual treatment above.
Swizz Beatz x French Montana – “SWIZZMONTANA” (Video)
Signature Swizzy bounce to this beat. Sets up perfectly for Montana to mash right on into the track… and for the rest of y’all to crack that paper, load up, and smoke the la-lala… should you so choose to party that way. It’s a hype party either way!
Another banger off the “Poison” LP.

T.I. – “The Weekend” feat. Young Thug x Swizz Beatz (Video)
Some sh!t it just ain’t no teaching. Either you with it or not.
Wooooo! T.I. spit that flyness in the lyrics on this joint “The Weekend” (featuring Young Thug and Swizz Beatz). That jewel above, totally about one thing but can apply to so many others. And that “Dime Trap” that Tip has out now; one album but totally better than a LOT of others. Facts.

Swizz Beatz Speaks On What’s Wrong With Hip-Hop Producing And How To Do It Right (Video)
YES! There is a DIFFERENCE between a beatmaker and a PRODUCER! Swizz is a producer. Understand? Watch and you will…
Producing. The somewhat lost art that Swizz Beatz, born Kasseem Dean, has specialized in since he was 20 years old dishing beats to Jay-Z and DMX. It isn’t just about pairing drums with snares or dancing in the back of the videos. It’s a curation process that’s earned the Yonkers native millions of dollars, more plaques than he can count on two hands, and a reputation that stretches across the seven seas.

Swizz Beatz – “Preach” feat. Jim Jones (Video)
Off the strength of Swizz on Funk Flex’s freestyle and the “JEEEzuz” overdubs (ha), I had to post a vid of his. And here’s a good one!

Swizz Beatz x French Montana | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #110 (Video)
Definitely a ‘zone’ and a ‘feeling’ for this Funk Flex freestyle. Has there ever been hooka on the set for one of these? Okay, French, let’s go! Live overdubs provided by Swizzy… until he had to jump the track and beat the beat with some barz himself!

Swizz Beatz Speaks On Co-Producing “Poison” With J. Cole And Saluting Top Producers (Video)
Another instance of someone at the top giving props to his peers; as it oughta be. This go ’round, it’s Swizz Beatz… naming his top 5 producers. Respect.
#SwizzBeats checks in with The Morning Show at Power 106 to talk about his latest album “Poison,” his top 5 producers in the game and what it’s been like working with #JCole.
– Power 106 Los Angeles
Solid list.
Nipsey Hussle – “Been Down” feat. Swizz Beatz (Video)
The YouTube tagline for this video called it ‘official’ but when hasn’t a Nipsey Hussle vid been official. Add Swizz on the Beatz and it is so… official!
Yet another banger off “Victory Lap” (out now).
Beat Battle: Swizz Beatz Vs. Just Blaze (Video)
Okay, so the objective is to put on a dope show; not so much smash the other guy to bits. Guaranteed you will be no less pleased. Settle in. It’s going down for a while in this clip. And keep your eyes/ears open for some unreleased had-to-be-there ish in this ‘battle’ video. Nice!
Swizz Beatz and Just Blaze hit the studio impromptu late in NYC and go head-to-head in a “Battle Of The Beats” from our live stream. Special guest appearance from Busta Rhymes.
Bussa Buss got them expressions that tell the story. Hahaaa!
Cassidy Freestyling Over Classic Instrumentals With Swizz Beatz Backing Him Up (Video)

Swizz Beatz – “Sad News” feat. Scarface
It’s not about the flag. Change the people.
– Scarface
Think: Do you think Swizz Beatz and Scarface had this “Sad News” jawn already recorded, or did they hit the studio right fast in light of a recent tragedy? Don’t answer that aloud.
Think: Do you think it really matters with all that’s ging on? Don’t answer that aloud either.
Just listen. Think. Feel.
No big I’s. No little U’s. We all together.
