Swizz Beatz on DMX: 'I Seen Him In My Dream — He Let me Know He Was Good'

On a recent Breakfast Club episode, Swizz Beatz discussed an upcoming Verzuz documentary, new music and his friend and collaborator, the late DMX.

"It don't even feel like he's gone,"he said. "It feels like he's just away somewhere chillin'. The anniversary [of his death] comes around and I'm like, 'whoa.' Or I speak to his fiancé or son, and I'm like, 'whoa.'"

Swizz explains that reality kicks in when he scrolls through his phone and sees pictures or videos. "The thing that makes me feel easy about it is that he came to me. I seen him in my dreams, and it was like super quick, and he let me know he was good."

quotes
I felt him, I smelled him. I just couldn't hear him talk. He looked like he did the last time I seen him. He was watching 'South Park'
