Swizz Beatz Haute Living

Like a majority of mainstream hip-hop acts in 2010, Swizz Beatz announced the name of his forthcoming release via Twitter. But he soon reneged on his announcement, changing the name of The Perception of Greatness to Haute Living. The album, his first since 2007's One Man Band Man, caught a name switch-up when he decided he wanted it to reflect the life he leads: One of music, art, and fashion for the people. The rapper-producer is joined on here by previous collaborators such as Drake, Jay-Z, and T.I. along with Coldplay and John Legend.
