Swizz Beatz Working With 50 Cent

Friday, August 27 2010 10:17 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Album Reviews, Focus

50 said on Twitter yesterday that his “last CD didn’t do right” because of “fuckin wack beats man”. Well, Fif shouldn’t have that problem no longer. During 1515′s RapFix Live stream, Swizzy told Sway that he’s been in the lab working on some new material for 50′s album. It’s showtime…again.

“I met up with him earlier in the day, He’s working on some amazing material that we’re possibly collaborating on. I don’t want to talk too soon or too early, but it’s crazy.”

New Music: Cam’Ron x Snoop Dogg “Yo Momma On Ya”

Interesting pair, interesting song. The story behind this collab is that Killa copped the rights to the hook, which was recorded by a homeless guy named Red that lived in an alley behind L.A.’s HVW8 Art Gallery. Seems like Red went missing and Killa hopes to locate “The Homeless Singer”.
