After revealing the official artwork for his upcoming album Poison yesterday on Instagram, Swizz Beatz caps off his 40th birthday celebration with the release of the first single from the project—"Pistol On My Side" featuring Lil Wayne.
Along with the official audio, visuals have also arrived for the new track featuring Tunechi.
The super producer initially previewed the song a few weeks back via social media with a video of himself bumping the track while riding around with the windows down. While multiple snippets have hinted at what to expect from Weezy's latest bars, they have also showcased the eerie instrumental that features a looped vocal sample from Wayne's verse on the 2009 hit "Forever," which is where the title of the Swizz song comes from.
This guest appearance is not all that fans can expect on the way from Wayne. In a recent interview with Billboard, the New Orleans-born rap superstar also discussed the long-awaited The Carter V—a project that is believed to be hitting the streets sooner than later. In an interview of his own with Billboard, Swizz told everyone what they can expect from the new material. "I think y'all getting 'A Milli' Wayne, Mixtape Wayne, and not only on my project, but his project, too," he said.
Swizz Beatz's album Poison can be pre-ordered now via Apple Music and is currently slated for a Nov. 2 release. Additional guests on the project include Kendrick Lamar, Young Thug, Pusha-T, and more. J. Cole also co-executive produced Poison alongside Swizz.
In the mean time, "Pistol On My Side" can be streamed below.
