Swizz Beatz has announced a new EP will arrive later this month, and it’s toting some heavy names including Nas, Lil Wayne, Jadakiss, Benny The Butcher and more.
Taking to Instagram to reveal the project’s title, artwork and tracklisting, Swizzy announced the five-track HH50 Vol. 2 will arrive on April 21. All tracks are produced by Swizz himself, and a portion of proceeds will go toward the Universal Hip Hop Museum.

Check out Swizz Beatz’s HH50 Vol. 2 EP track listing below:
1. “Runway” (Feat. Nas)
2. “This Shit Right Here” (Feat. Lil Wayne)
3. “Take Em Out” (Feat. Jadakiss, Benny The Butcher & Scar Lip)
4. “City Sound Like” (Feat. Fivio Foreign & Bandmanrill)
5. “Say Less” (Feat. Lil Durk & A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie)
This makes for the second collab between Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz this year alone, as the pair connected back in February for the former’s Tha Carter VI single, “Kan’t Nobody.” The late DMX is also featured on the song, with his 1998 classic “N-ggaz Done Started Somethin” being sampled on the beat.
Swizzy and Weezy likely won’t be connecting on the Verzuz stage this year, however, as Swizz recently shot down the idea of a matchup between Wayne and fellow Hip Hop heavyweight 50 Cent.
After Apple Music host Lowkey shared his thoughts on a hypothetical Verzuz battle between Weezy and the G-Unit mogul last month, the topic went viral on social media.
Talking to Baller Alert that same week, Swizz explained why he wouldn’t entertain the idea of a duel of sorts.
“Me personally, I wouldn’t even do 50 vs. Wayne – they two different dynamics and two different artists,” he told the outlet.

“I would do a different Verzuz for both of them, but we’ll see as we have a lot of things lined up for Verzuz, and hopefully, they are involved. While I can’t give up who I would choose to go against them, just wait and see.”
As for when fans can expect the Verzuz series to return, Swizzy said “ASAP,” adding that the under-construction sign will soon be “taken off the glass.”
