News: A$AP Rocky, Ross, Nas, DMX, The LOX On Swizz Beatz (@THEREALSWIZZZ) Mixtape

During a talk with MTV, Swizz gives a few more details about his upcoming mixtape..

When the Rick Ross’ mixtape came out that inspired me to do a mixtape because sometimes people need to get back into the element of what you do, since they see you doing so many different ventures. My first single is with me and A$AP Rocky.

People have to know that you can take it back to the basics and keep it hip-hop and keep it fun and just do what made you the person that you are. That’s why I think this mixtape is important. I’m vibing with Nas on it, Rick Ross, DMX, The Lox, people that everybody’s like ‘Man, when are you guys gonna do a track together?’ and ‘When is this happening? I thought the mixtape was a great way to bring that to life.
