In May 2012, Beatz spoke about his work with X.

“I have a lot of big plans with X that I plan on putting in motion as a brother, as a responsibility, as fans,” Beatz said. “I’m mapping that out now and the world will soon know about that…DMX is one-of-one. I just hate to see what I’ve been seeing because I remember when people couldn’t follow up with him on stage, big name people…People still don’t understand X. My job is to get people to understand X for real. With reality shows, that stuff is edited. It’s real stuff but I just think people need to see another side of X.”

DMX and Swizz Beatz have collaborated together throughout their careers. Their collaborations include work on 1998’s Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, 1998’s It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot, 1999’s …And Then There Was X, 2001’s The Great Depression, 2003’s Grand Champ, 2006’s Year Of The Dog…Again and 2012’s Undisputed
