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.

Yeah we did it
(It's on fire)

Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Just when you thought it was safe now
We did it, did it again
Just when you thought it was over
Just when you thought we were done
Just when you thought it was safe now
We did it, did it again
I love fast cars, fast brauds
'Cause I'm a rockstar, baby
Born in the U.S.A
I'm gonna hit the highway on my Harley, do about 38
Nothin' else but take it easy
Any woman that won't please me, I'll give her up
Anythin' that won't touch or move me, I'll give it up
And I know you're all serious
We did it, did it again

Mixed with a little bit of hip hop soul? We do
Come one on a rock steady, keep you rockin'
Get ready and say we did it, we did it again
Believe in the air you breathin'

In "We Did It Again," Swizz Beatz and a lineup of featured artists proclaim their success and dominance in the music industry. The repetitive hook of "just when you thought it was over, just when you thought we were done, just when you thought it was safe now, we did it, did it again" serves as a declaration of their resilience and ability to continually create hits. The use of Metallica's signature guitar riffs adds to the song's rock influence, while Ja Rule's and Swizz Beatz's verses contribute their own brand of hip-hop flair. The use of Harley motorcycles, fast cars, and rock star references further contribute to the song's overall message of indulging in life's pleasures and enjoying the fruits of their labor.

I've been laughing hysterically at this song and the making-of documentary for almost a decade now, and I literally feel exactly like this
It's too fucking precious.
