Trouble Inevitable. Mixing Business with Pleasure for Keys and Beatz

It’s never a good idea to mix business with pleasure, and it looks like Swizzy is trying to get involved with Alicia’s career just days after the announcement of the parting of her long-time manager. Good luck with that right there.

Over the past few weeks, Its been pretty tense in house. Swizz Beatz has been there and has been taking a pretty active role of being a manager. He has been pitching her to people and he’s becoming very vocal in the direction of her career”.

According to another source, Alicia Keys also axed her entire glam squad. “Swizz Beatz is trying to remove anyone from the team that appears to be a threat because of his own insecurities” says the source.

The source also reveals that no one approved of Alicia’s relationship with Swizz Beatz because of the drama and baggage that revolve around the relationship. “Some are questioning his motives“. Case in point, Swizz Beatz pushed for the release of “Put It In A Love Song” featuring Beyonce even though the song received mediocre reviews.

Pics: Drake’s Music Video for “Fancy”

Looks like Drake will continue to push Thank Me Later on the people with the release of two upcoming video’s for “Miss Me” and “Fancy.” Here’s what the guys at Exclusive Access had to say about the “Fancy” music video shoot:

Last night Drizzy closed out his series of videos in Atlanta, Fancy Feat. Swizz Beats and TI. Drake hooked back up with Anthony Mandler again to recapture some of that Over magic and they gotta another visual banger on their hands. It was truly a family affair as the whole Young Money Fam was in the Building people brought they kids out and even TI had his on set as well. Trey Songz and several industry insiders stopped thru to bare witness.The Vibe was just right.

Busta Rhymes ft. Swizz Beatz, DMX, T.I., Ghostface Killah, Cam’ron – Stop the Party (remix)

Busta Rhymes gathers up an eclectic crew of artists for his remix to “Stop the Party,” which hasn’t really picked up much steam since it dropped (from what I can tell). DMX just got out of jail, so this is probably one of his first verses in a bit.

This Hurts My Soul

Fuckin Swizz Beatz. I’m mad. Not like I ever had a chance.

On the real, congrats to Alicia and Swizzy! Music prodigy on the way…

Jay-Z ft. Swizz Beatz – Ultra (Reference Track)

Look at those guys up there. They go way back. I don’t know how Evil Empire always gets ahold of these tracks that aren’t supposed to be released, but they do and they bring us this newest Jay-Z and Swizzy track. This has a nice party vibe to it, but it’s being said this is a reference track for Puff on his upcoming lp. We shall see.

Jay Electronica X Game X Swizz Beatz Track Dropping Soon

Although I have a love/hate relationship with Swizz Beatz instrumentals, I definitely get excited at the thought of collaborations like these. I’m assuming this is to be on Game’s RED Album.

Busta Rhymes ft. Swizz Beatz – Stop the Party (STP)

These two linked up to create a track in association with the Iron Man 2 movie that just dropped today (or, at midnight between thurs/fri). This track goes along with this studio session that I posted the other day.

DJ Khaled ft. V/A – All I Do Is Win (REMIX)

DJ Khaled gathers up his usual goon squad to give you the remix of “All I Do Is Win.” Who’s on this version? Well: Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz & T-Pain. Although Khaled is hated by many, you gotta respect the man for always getting a slew of heavy hitters on his albums.

Cassidy ft. John Legend – Searching

Didn’t see this one coming, but Cassidy teams up with Grammy winner John Legend on this new Swizz Beatz produced single. Not gonna be a hit single, but it’s a quality track in my opinion. This song would be so much better if it didn’t have Swizz Beatz giving his stupid ad-libs in the background. Save those for a more uptempo track, bro.

Cassidy ft. Swizz Beatz – Henny & Bacardi

This actually dropped a while back as an ode to the classic alcoholic beverages, Hennessy and Bacardi. Here is the final version of that track, which actually feels kind of empty during the Cassidy verses IMO. Produced by Vinylz.
