Swizz Beatz has announced that he has a new project on the way that will be releasing later this month. The upcoming five-track effort features collaborations with Nas, Lil Wayne, Fivio Foreign, and more. The legendary producer shared the details regarding the effort on Instagram, Tuesday. It is the second EP released for Mass Appeal's Hip Hop 50: The Soundtrack initiative commemorating Hip Hop's 50th birthday.
"Let’s just get to it," Swizz Beatz captioned the pictures. Other tracks on the project feature Jadakiss, Benny The Butcher, Lil Durk, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and more. He says that he will be dropping the tracks on April 21.

The announcement comes after Swizz Beatz recently teased working on new music during an interview with Vibe. He told the outlet: "I’m just getting back into my zone music-wise. I’ve got a lot of music coming out, a lot of different genres of sounds. I’m just at a point where I just want to have fun with it again and just give people what they want, especially coming off Hip-Hop’s 50th and spilling that energy in the room. I was like 'Man, I want to create some more space for us to be on those stages even more.'"
Outside of music, Swizz Beatz also discussed the current status of Verzuz, which is on hiatus for the time being. Speaking more with Vibe, Swizz Beatz explained that "something is cooking." He elaborated: "Big, big, big announcements. The world know if they haven’t heard nothing from Verzuz for this long that, sh*t, something’s cooking. That’s a smart person [that’s] thinking that something is cooking. It’s been fun. We just.. Me and Tim wanted to reevaluate. We started in the basement and it went global, worldwide and sometimes you’ve got to pull it in and give the 2.0 version because you know what people want, you know, what you could have done different. You know, it’s like starting in a Mom & Pop’s store. Now, it’s like a major thing, so we’ve got to make it an even more major thing."
