Swizz Beatz
has already hit the mixtapes and clubs with his single, “It’s Me, Bitches.” The
radio friendly version, “It’s Me,
Snitches,” has gotten some spins and now, he’s speaking about
what he calls his first real album One Man Band Man.
“I was just drunk,”
he told Billboard of his first single. “I didn’t want to go out
to the club, so I just chilled in the studio. I knew I had a concept for the
song, so I went in the booth and it just came out.”
Although the album will feature production/collaborations
with Kanye West, Just Blaze, Chris Martin (Of Coldplay) and
other producers, Swizz noted
that he wants to stand alone, as well. “I didn’t want my album to be like I was
leaning on a whole bunch of other artists like crutches,” he
added. Swizz has some major plans for
the future. He is planning a Crash-like video,
with the actual director of the film.
Reports also indicate that there may be an up-coming remix
to his first single, which may feature Jadakiss, Kanye West, R.
Kelly and more. Aside from working on his album, Swizz has been busy helping
others. J. Lo, Whitney Houston, 50 Cent, Usher, Chris
Brown and others have also been working with Swizz on other projects. The
album, One Man Band Man, is set to hit
stores May 15 through Universal Motown.
