EBONY Evolution explores the past, present and future of our favorite stars. In an in-depth interview, we get an intimate look into Black trailblazers’ lives, loves and careers through their voices and perspectives.
Swizz Beatz, one of five icons featured on our Hip-Hop 50th anniversary commemorative covers, shares how drive has played a significant role in his ascension from Bronx DJ and rapper to cultural revolutionist. “No matter what money you have, no matter what access you have, it’s all about your drive,” he shares. That mantra birthed his new Hulu series Drive with Swizz Beatz, coming to the network in November. “We’re highlighting people who drive physically, spiritually and mentally throughout this destiny and journey.”
Learn more about the series and Swizz’s thoughts on his 20th anniversary in hip-hop in this latest episode of EBONY Evolution.
