Swiss Beatz on Eminem’s Relapse
Swizz said he’s submitted five songs to Eminem, including one featuring both Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. “I don’t know the title yet, but it’s classic,” he said. “It’s sounding big.”
Another song Swizz worked on with Em is a track they’re referring to as a “Stan Part 2.” “You know how ‘Stan’ … was the big [song]?” Swizz asked, referring to the obsessed-fan track which sampled Dido’s “Thank You.” “So I worked on part 2, and I think it was, like, totally genius.”
Swizz said that while Eminem has apparently been away from the mic for a long time, he’s in good form on Relapse. which, Em said on “TRL,” will be out next year, in “probably January, February.”
“It’s different,” Swizz said. “Different sound, different mindframe. He’s clear. But it’s the Eminem that you missed, that you loved, that you need, especially right now in the industry, going into ‘09. He’s coming back to take the cake.”
Swizz said that politically minded songs like “Mosh” are “not really” on the agenda as much as “a lot of personal stuff.”1
