In addition to Swizz Beatz working diligently on introducing Korean Pop to U.S. mainstream music, he also announced in January that he is currently putting together a new mixtape.  He discussed the various details regarding his new project during an interview with RapFix, including many collaborations he's putting together, that will surely have the public very excited.

"People have to know that you can take it back to the basics and keep it hip-hop and keep it fun and just do what made you the person that you are. That's why I think this mixtape is important. I'm vibing with Nas on it, DMX, The Lox, people that everybody's like 'Man, when are you guys gonna do a track together?' and 'When is this happening? I thought the mix tape was a great way to bring that to life.  I know that everybody was looking for a whole album.  But I'm a perfectionist and I felt like I just wanted to put some more finishing touches on it and figured I don't have to rush anything."

Aside from his mixtape, he also confirmed that, ""My first single is with me and A$AP Rocky."
