Swizz Beatz Life After the Party

Despite the fact that Swizz Beatz is one of the most well-respected producers working today, sales of his first album, One Man Band Man, fell pretty far short of impressive. Beatz's second studio album, Life After the Party, is his chance to prove that he can be a commercially viable solo artist. To that end, he's enlisted Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, John Legend, Cassidy, Eve, and Apex, among others.
