Biography

Edit

Kasseem Dean is one of the most in-demand producers in hip-hop, having worked with a catalogue of stars over the last 15 years. His pseudonym Swizz Beatz can be found on the liner notes of records by Nas, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, The Game, T.I., The Notorious B.I.G., LL Cool J, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, DMX, Beyoncé, and many more. His record label, Full Surface Records, has artists like Bone, Thugs-N-Harmony, Eve, and Cassidy on its roster, which of course means Swizzy's taken his seat at the mixing desk for their recent records too. In 2007, Swizz Beatz released his debut solo album One Man Band Man and hired the help of R. Kelly, Jadakiss, Lil' Wayne, Snoop Dogg and Chris Martin from English indie-rock band Coldplay. Although the album hit No.7 on the Billboard 200, it quickly fell away again.
