Funk Flex had originally hit him and Swizz Beatz with the challenge on September 1. For Swizz Beatz, Flex instructed the legendary producer to share a song from the late DMX. Flex has already shared a track from DMX sampling Big Daddy Kane’s 1988 song “Ain’t No Half-Steppin’.”

As for any more music from DMX, Swizz had said he's hesitant to release too much.

“He’s got a lot of music," Swizz admitted on The Breakfast Club, earlier this year. "But for me it’s like, he just worked so hard on this record that I don’t really want to tamper with things unless it can be better than this record. I don’t want to just put things out, and even with the footage, we recorded the whole process of the album, and we could’ve been putting that footage out right now leading up to the album."
