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.”
Swizz Beatz Discusses The Lox’s Upcoming Album
Swizz Beatz has also worked with other former Ruff Ryder colleagues. Beatz has been a part of the yet-to-be completed Lox album. During the interview, Beatz also spoke about how the project is progressing.
“It started off as a great concept, but I’m gonna leave that up to Styles [P], [Jada]kiss and Sheek,” Swizz said. “We’re already 10 joints in already. Khaled definitely has an ear for music…but it’s what the Lox think.”
In October 2012, Sheek spoke with MTV about contributions from Swizz and Khaled in the album.
“The last meeting I had was with Swizz and Khaled and they’re executive producing this new Lox album,” he explained. “So far, we’ve got like 12 bangers of big, big records. I was just in the studio the other night with us and Alicia Keys working on the Lox project and get ready y’all. I’m sorry for the delay and the wait, but this joint is gonna be monstrous, man.”

X a legend but he aint been spitting nice for years n the drug shit needs sorted. Focus on that LOX album they spit just as good as their ruff ryder days streets need that album
Hell naw to DJ Khaled being a co-executive producer on the Lox album. Khaled gotta ear for making repetitive bs with the same rappers each time. But glad Swizz and DMX back together making music again.
he usually good for one or two half decent songs per album like the ones with scarface but his mistake was putting meek mill on that song with jada and face
Wow. One decent or two decent songs among steaming piles of repetitive bs. But I agree about Meek Mill being outta place on that song with Face and Kiss though.
that joint with nas, scarface and premier was cool too
I just realized Lil Wayne hasn’t made a good album since he met Drake.
No Ceilings was 8/10
fuk swizz beats
X’s 1st 3 albums were classics. that being said he NEEDS Swizz on at least half the album coz Undisputed was 5/10 at best..
X’s second album was lame.
thank you swizz. help X keep himself outta trouble through his music and please promote this next drop cuz undisputed was not promoted at all whatsoever. and maybe get tecca nina on that shit. they have very similar drug and woman backgrounds…now that I think about it.. the only major difference btwn the two is tech had a loving famiy and dmx had none…this would make an intense thing..idk what to call it. but its gotta be an instudio feature not through email and shit
Executive producer don’t mean shit because it means that means DMX will have an album of beats from other boring producers. Swizz and DMX have to make an album together in order for me to check for another DMX album.
god bless swizz for being a real dude and not forgetting where it stated thats rare!
Thats great Swizz Jizz Beat off beats. You can focus on your butt buddy DMX while the world can focus on a superior rapper, Ja Rule.
Ja Rule wrecked DMX’s career
Ja Rule wants to wreck Kendrick Lamar’s career. Shouldn’t be hard to discredit a former cheerleader.
Ja Rule poops on DMX
Ja Rule=billionaire
DMX= broke crackhead.

Look up in the sky nigga.
See who’s up in the sky nigga.
It’s Ja Rule nigga.
And he about to poop on you nigga.
Poop coming out of Ja Rule’s butt, nigga.
#JaRulePoopsOnYallNiggas
Ja Rule is about two things, pooping on niggas he don’t like and thug love.
Yeah he about thuggin love. Because he got plenty in the pen. Fleece Johnson had it every nite.
Ja Rule has a nice mustache, nigga.
Ja Rule well rules.
Ja Rule sold more albums than DMX #FACT
X’s 1st album is better than ANY Ja Fool album!!!!!
Ja Rule brings the pain, no pain no gain unless he poop on ya faggot ass first.
DMX a real nigga!
If X and Swizz have the same passions for music as they did before. This could be something very epic. Seriously
DAMN THIS GOOD NEWS FOR HIP HOP
DMX THE ONLY DUDE NOT SELLIN OUT AND GIVIN UP HIS ROUGH STYLE FOR WACK LAME RAP LIKE THESE SKINNY JEAN RAPPERS
Glad to see DMX doin shit again. A lot more mainstream rappers that used to be dope sold out like Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe and Snoop and Game… DMX hasnt so far, lets hope this new album is dope and sells a lot WITHOUT having a goddamn 2 Chainz or Future feature! !!!
Year Of The Dog was a total sell out effort.

Swizz beats is real, no matter how much DMX has gone through Swizz never turned his back on him like every other rapper out here, he’s a true friend those are hard to come by these days. People like you when your up, And forget you when your down, The fact that he wants to help turn DMX around speaks volumes about the type of person he is.
Good points all around. I hope DMX can salvage his career.
Yes, he did turn his back on him….He wasn’t on the last album and the one before that only had a couple of throwaway beats on it.
YEA LIKE KHALED AND FAT JOE.
Swizz is such a good person he cheated on his wife with Alicia Keyes.
lol DeLOX niggas didnt release an album in 13 years? WTF! There run is over. They are old ass niggas who arent that good to start with and commercially no label is interested in them.
DMX is only his focus because he has nothing else going on musically.
Swizz beats sucks DMX dick
In your wet dreams maybe, but c’mon son…
Swizz was saying all this about X on his last album and that was trash. Without a major label backing him, or good production, DMX is done. You can’t make somebody be the person they once were, especially if they’re a drug addict.
before I saw the draft for $8252, I did not believe …that…my brother could realie bringing in money in there spare time on-line.. there best friend had bean doing this for under nineteen months and recently paid for the depts on there villa and bought themselves a Car. go to my site… http://www.Fb39.com
With any amount of success comes things like this. If Kendrick was his own man he would have still done the show, and told Kiffith to chill.
make an album with ja rule
that’s what we call #loyalty…
