Swizz Beatz's Soundcloud page keeps the blessings coming. Earlier this week the Ruff Ryderz producer relinquished a choice collaboration between Alicia Keys (his wife) and Kaytranada. Today, he's done it again, delivering on years of promises with the release of "Bane Iz Back," a booming true-to-form reconnection with none other than, DMXbeaming with barks and airhorns galore. The track marks their first link up in nearly five years (since 2012's Undisputed) and could signify that the long-rumored Ruff Ryderz reunion record is on the way, though we certainly won't be holding our breath for that one. Hear the new DMX and Swizz Beatz single "Bane Iz Back" below and hold tight for their next transmission. Revisit their raucous Roots Picnic performance and scroll down to see if DMX is hitting a stage near you this winter.
