(New York, NY) Multi-talented superstar artist/producer Swizz Beatz continues his one-man reign as music’s most prolific hitmaker, ringing up a #7 debut with his Universal Motown debut solo album, One Man Band Man. Recently touted on Forbes Magazine’s selective list of multi-millionaire hip hop ‘Cash Kings,’ Swizz Beatz proved his worth once again to U.S. music fans, propelled by the album’s soaring hit single “Money In The Bank,” currently rocketing up the rhythm crossover and urban radio charts. The celebrated collaborator, whose indelible creative stamp has launched a host of million selling hits for other music superstars, grabs the solo limelight with gusto on his debut album, choosing an elite group of guest stars for the 12 track hit-album, including the Ruff Ryders’ Drag On, Lil Wayne, and Chris Martin of Coldplay.
Vibe Magazine’s Rapidshare column calls it ‘the best rap album of 2007.’ Spin Magazine also raved about Swizzy’s first solo venture, giving it 3 and-a-half out of four stars. The star’s coming-out-party as a solo artist has been lighting up all media and digital platforms, including heavy video exposure at Music Choice, BET, MTV, MTV 2, & MTV Jams (where both videos have been featured as Jam Of The Week). He has also made appearances on BET’s 106 & Park MTV Suckerfree and BET Rap City. The current video “Money in the Bank” will debut on TRL today. His myspace site has become one of the most popular hip hop destinations, clocking close to 100,000 views in the past two weeks, with the single “Money In The Bank,” fast becoming a mobile chart-topper as well, nearing 30,000 in ringtone sales, as well as crossing the 30,000 milestone in digital sales.
Swizz Beatz confidently handed over some of the production duties on his new album to new, breakthrough production talent, such as Young World Music and Eric McKain, among others. Additional songs on the new disc include the McKain produced “Top Down,” “Take A Picture,” “Bust Ya Gunz,” featuring Drag On, and the introspective “Part Of The Plan,” featuring Chris Martin.
Billboard Magazine is planning a special September 29th issue celebrating the talented entrepreneur.
(New York, NY) Crowned ‘Cash King’ by Forbes Magazine as one of the elite multimillionaire icons in hip hop, Swizz Beatz, music’s most in-demand one-man ‘brand’ is closing out summer with some scorching heat of his own in the form of his long awaited solo debut album – One Man Band Man. The Universal Motown Money In The Bank debut hits stores and the digital domain on August 21, stacked with the appropriately titled hit single “,” now soaring up the rhythm crossover and urban radio charts. The celebrated soundmaster is joined by a chosen few on the 12 track opus, including the Ruffryders’ Drag On, Lil Wayne, and Chris Martin of Coldplay.
Vibe Magazine’s Rapidshare column calls it ‘the best rap album of 2007.’ Spin Magazine also raved about Swizzy’s first solo venture, giving it 3 and-a-half out of four stars, with The Source crowing the 28 year old phenom is ‘moving music to the next level.’ Swizzy’s coming-out-party as a solo artist has been lighting up all media and digital platforms, including premiere video exposure at BET and MTV (where earlier in the month it was featured Jam Of The Week), a 5-page feature on rap tome XXL (where it also garnered raves), and cover stories on Murder Dog, Dubs, Rap Fanatic and other mags, including sizzling reviews/features People and Rolling Stone. His myspace site has become one of the most popular hip hop destinations, clocking 60,000 views this week alone, with the single “Money In The Bank,” fast becoming a mobile chart-topper as well, nearing 20,000 in ringtone sales and crossing the 30,000 milestone in digital sales.
Countering the usual trend of production stars rolling out name-dropping collabos, Swizzy handed over the reins to up-and-coming production talent, breaking in new names such as Young World Music and Eric McKain and keeping the featured artist roles to a minimum for his Universal Motown debut. Songs include the McKain produced “Top Down,” “Take A Picture,” “Bust Ya Gunz,” featuring Drag On, and the introspective “Part Of The Plan,” featuring Chris Martin.
For more than a decade Swizz Beatz has been one of hip hop’s most innovative producer/songwriters. A pivotal force behind the Ruffryders sound dynasty, he has gone on to produce/collaborate with some of the biggest superstars in music, including Jay Z, Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, Busta Rhymes, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, T.I., The Game, and most recently, 50 Cent. Responsible for millions of record sales, he’s also recognized as one of urban music’s most energetic entrepreneurs, overseeing a lucrative entertainment empire which includes his Full Surface record imprint, an association with the Kid Robot clothing line, and several exotic car ventures.
