<p>From the Bronx, Kasseem Dean, now known as Swizz Beatz, has become omnipresent as a Hip-Hop and R&amp;B producer. He&#8217;s worked with Beyonce, Jay-Z, Drake, <a href="/profile/Cassidy" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Cassidy</a>, and just about every mainstream recording artist on pop and urban radio, including <a href="/profile/JustinBieber" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Justin Bieber</a>, Will.i.am, Miley Cyrus, and <a href="/profile/Usher" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Usher</a>. Of course, this is the same man who Kanye West claimed to be &#8220;the best rap producer of all time,&#8221; so it would be futile to name drop all of the mega-stars he&#8217;s collaborated with. He started producing track since he was 15, selling his first track to <a href="/profile/DMX" class="text-word" target="_blank" >DMX</a>. After climbing the proverbial ladder of the industry, Swizz Beats ventured forth in rapping on his own, releasing a solo(ish) record in &#8217;07, called One Man Band Man. He has since provided beats for half of pop radio today and awaits his second album, &#8220;Haut Living.&#8221; Swizz has also pushed his own fashion designs, partnering with KidRobot and releasing a sneakerline for <a href="/tags/reebok" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Reebok</a>.</p>
