Swiss Beatz, the award winning producer who is visiting South Africa for the Bacardi Holiday Club festival, has shown great interest with working with local artists, including Ekurhuleni’s very own Reason.
The rapper, who had earlier tweeted that he is a fan of the American producer, mentioned he had to reproduce “Celebrity”, which is a song on his latest offering, because he had recorded it on one of Swizz Beatz beats from Kanye West and Jay-Z collabo album, WatchTheThrones. “I SERIOUSLY NEED A BEAT FROM HIM!!! IT’S MY DREAM!!!” the Katlegong rapper tweeted.
I'm so much of a @THEREALSWIZZZ fan… We recorded "Celebrity" on #WatchTheThrones "Welcome to The jungle" beat, and then got the @BoyzUpstairs to reproduce to the VERSES and hook afterward.
That how that guy means to Me!!!
I SERIOUSLY NEED A BEAT FROM HIM!!! IT'S MY DREAM!!!
