For Mass Appeal’s continuing Hip Hop 50: The Soundtrack series, Swizz Beatz pays tribute to the genre’s first half-century.
Super producer Swizzy, together with Avenue Beatz, produced the album’s first single, “Runaway,” which featured Nas. The album’s second single, “This Shit Right Here,” featured Lil Wayne.
In addition to Jay Electronica, who holds it down on the EP’s closing track “Khalas,” the EP’s six other tracks include guest appearances from Jadakiss, Benny The Butcher, Lil Durk, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Fivio Foreign, Scar Lip, Bandmanrill, and others.
Nas, Lil Wayne, Joey Bada$$, Remy Ma, Rapsody, Run the Jewels, and Slick Rick were all included on DJ Premier’s Hip Hop 50, Vol. 1 last year.
