With his aunt Chivon Dean, and uncles Dee, and Waah Dean involved with the Ruff Ryders label, he began to produce tracks at the age of 16. He sold his first beat at 17 which became DMX's hit single Ruff Ryders Anthem. He started working with Ruff Ryders, Roc-A-Fella Records, Elektra Records, Epic Records, Def Jam Recordings, and Bad Boy Entertainment and his career blew up from there. But it wasn't until his first solo album, 2002's Presents G.H.E.T.T.O. Stories, that he started to get notices for his production style and interesting ideas. He released two singles "Guilty" and "Bigger Business" and both had music videos.[
Swizz Beatz has his own record label called Full Surface which was helped developed by Cassidy and is currently working on albums by Cassidy, Jay-Z, 2 Much, 50 Cent, Drag-On, Papoose, Busta Rhymes, Ruff Ryders, Michael Jackson, Eve, T.I., Lil Wayne, Bow Wow, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Eminem, Lil Jon and Ludacris. He is also set to be recording the new album for his close friend DMX which is confirmed to be titled Walk with Me Now and You'll Fly with Me Later. It was also confirmed he will be working with Jennifer Lopez for the first time on her new album.
Swizz Beatz released his first proper solo album titled One Man Band Man on August 21, 2007, selling 45,000 records in its first week of release including songs such as "It's Me Bitches", "Money in the Bank".
On October 19, 2007, as an extension to his first solo project, Swizz Beatz launched a contest called Music Video 2.0 and The Source Magazine Presents "Share the Studio." The contest and allows unsigned/indie music artists the opportunity to compete on the Music Video 2.0 website for the chance to open for Swizz Beatz at a NYC event.
Swizz Beatz also did an interview with MTV about his next album stating he just leaked a record called "Hard Knocks" with Drag-On. It's the first offering from Beatz's upcoming follow-up to One Man Band Man.
“ Everybody is expecting 'It's Me Bitches' or 'Money in the Bank', I just want to use my opportunity to get a little more serious in the artist department, as a performer and lyricist. Not giving a f--- about radio and all that. I just want to give hip-hop something that's not on the radio. A lot of the songs I got can blend in on the radio, but 'School of Hard Knocks' don't blend in with nothing on the radio. I'm already in full mode. What they want me to do? Let's get it. I'm busting shots early — bong, bong!
The title is between Life After the Party and Remember Hip-Hop," he continued. "I'm in between them. I don't even have a date on my joint. I'm just feeling out the scene.

What noreaga lay out like your majesty
Aspect mine when y'all niggaz hear my par
Have y'all straight wildin when y'all see my car
I step on your toes fuckin ya hoes chain reaction
Take toes stay in my clothes
Keep askin why I keep buckin y'all foes
Gettin sucked now from my fuckin neck to my toes
Henny wood, Guinness, mad niggaz are gettin finished
Fessin it, my niggaz precident
Gettin head in the wip, but not pressin it
Monster koday, gang related like O-J
Friends know me, by my first name Victor
Santiago, half-black, half-mohondo
Dominicano, people like pope hinquihando
Me and tone from T-N in the be -M
Drink cristals, won't cancel seagrams
Yo, N-O-are-E, nore stands for niggaz on the run eatin
No matter if you're still treatin
N-O-are-E, nore stands for niggaz on the run eatin
No matter if you're still treatin
Yo, it's all reality, my guns blazed for clarity
For charity, had a whole hood ahead of me
Gradually, I casually grabb the two techs
Blow holes, that'll rip through bird chest
Noreaga, get head inside a L-S
Wise guy's a man is good fellas
Open doors for ladies, never blaze when we see babies
Only shoot when we crash through, when we have to
Made cats sit back, picture that
Yo, respect it, knowin that we now connected
It's like lesty and donny, lesty let donny live, and donny snaked him
Stayed for day one, then faked him
The rules of nature, keep your mind on your paper

No matter, if you're still treatin
N-O-are-E, nore stands for niggaz on the run eatin

Yo, married to marijuana, smoked mad trees
Catch me with the same bitch and believe
Only fuck a bitch twice if she get on her knees
Shoot for myself, for myself I squeeze
Always hated the cops, yelled, "fuck them pigs"
Let the situation get much bigger than g's
How y'all small cats still runnin round for keys
Switch places, hated when the jack go freeze
Yo, my bank account tripled, when I doubled at least
Had my nigga like see-style, smoke that weed
Mad fucked up, drive benz at high speed
For my niggaz on the run, just know to bleed
Yo, N-O-are-E, nore stands for niggaz on the run eatin

In Swizz Beatz's song "N.O.R.E.," the lyrics depict the street life Noreaga (the artist mentioned in the song title) lived in his past. In the first verse, he describes how his strategy is like having a "gun trilogy gat," which is a significant power to hold in the street. He then talks about how he and his entourage roll around in expensive cars and how they step on people's toes by reacting to their advances towards Noreaga's women. The lyrics go on to describe how Noreaga has caused significant trouble previously, such as throwing grenades at the precinct, drinking heavily, and fighting in gang-related activities. The rest of the lyrics of the song talk about how Noreaga represents being on the run and the importance of being loyal to your roots.
