Swizz Beatz, who gained notoriety early in his career through work with DMX, says he is focused on reconnecting with the Dark Man X as the executive producer on the rapper’s next album. Swizz Beatz spoke about his bond with X during a recent interview with MTV.
“Everything is DMX for me right now,” Swizz said. “It’s my main focus because it’s what started everything. So, if I don’t focus on that, then it’s just not right. He’s been going through a lot of different things, but he’s DMX. He’s good. He’s in good vibes. But wait until y’all hear this music though. Y’all gon’ really know how he is. We working hard on that and I can’t wait.”
In October, DMX’s publicist told HipHopDX that X and Swizz were working together extensively.
“Swizz and X are always working on a song,” Nati said in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. “Swizz is producing several tracks on X’s album that he’s working on.”
