Swizz Beatz |
---|
Kasseem Dean (born on August 30, 1978) is a New York-based American hip hop record producer/rapper of Jamaican and Puerto-Rican descent. He is better known by his stage name Swizz Beatz. He is founder of the Full Surface Records music label. His songs are usually very "bouncy" and energetic, though his early work was known to be quite and arguably experimental—it reportedly took him an average of only 10 to 15 minutes to complete a song. In most modern Swizz Beatz productions, the quick uttered phrase "Swizzy" is heard at the beginning and is accompanied by guest vocals from Swizz himself, although often uncredited.
Biography
Dean has 2 sons and is married to R&B singer Mashonda
