Producer, rapper, DJ and songwriter Swizz Beatz was the force behind countless hits in the early 2000s and beyond, his boundary-pushing approach to production helping to shape the sound of rap in several eras. Working with Ruff Ryders Records from the early days of the label, he produced some of the label's best known hits for DMX, Eve, Styles-P and others. A solo album, One Man Band Man, arrived in 2007, allowing the beatmaker to flex his chops as a rapper. As the next wave of talent crested, the producer stayed connected, working with new megastars like Drake and Nicki Minaj. His second solo album, 2018's Poison, did well on the charts, and he continued producing music for new generations of rap talent, as well as occasionally releasing new work under his own name like the 2023 EP Hip Hop 50, Vol 2.
