Swizz Beatz A Real-Life Professor

Swizz Beatz, a popular hip-hop producer (and new hubby to Alicia Keys) has officially been named NYU's first Producer-in-Residence for the Clive Davis department of music.

The gig requires mentoring and working in private sessions with NYU students and giving group lectures to classes. Hmm, we wonder how he's going to juggle that with his already busy career...




Swizz Beatz has worked with some of the most famous Hip-Hop/R&B performers in the world including Beyonce, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and T.I. (just to name a few). What a unique way to pass your skills and talents on to the next generation of musicians! And what an excellent opportunity, to say that Swizz Beatz was your teacher!!!

It looks like the academic community is finally acknowledging the musical talent and the power that lies in Hip-Hop!
