While releasing an unreleased song that she produced for Meek Mill, Swizz Beatz declared his wife Alicia Keys the “female Dr. Dre.”
Fans can watch Alicia playing the piano and creating the beat while Meek records some bars in an undated studio session captured in a video that Swizz posted late Wednesday night (November 20).
“Meekmill lost files created by @aliciakeys! You can’t deny that AK produces like any other heavy producer. 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 A woman, specifically @drdre! Swizz wrote a caption for the image. Let’s return to the suffering and fervor. Should this song be released? The final version is insane.

In recent years, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz have pursued pursuits outside of music.
Inspired by a present from her husband, Alicia Keys applied for a trademark in November to start a new tea company called “Alicia Teas.”
The singer of “No One,” Alicia Worldwide, has reportedly filed for a trademark for Alicia Teas in order to launch her tea line soon and disrupt the beverage market, according to TMZ.
Swizz may have been the driving force behind Keys’ decision to continue with the line because, in 2020, he gave his wife a brand of tea bags for her birthday and made it a reality that the brand would eventually be available at Starbucks stores all over the world.
“Happy birthday, everyone in Starbucks around the world, you’re going to see Alicia Teas. We have an endless amount of teas,” Swizz said at the time. “Happy birthday, sweetheart, and blessings.” I cherish you!
In June of this year, the two also published Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, a huge coffee table book published by the Phaidon Books imprint.
Kimberli Gant, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum, also interviews the long-married couple for the book. It accompanied an exhibition at the museum from February 10 to July 7 that showcased Swizz and Alicia’s vast collection of artwork.

“Collecting from the heart is our strategy,” the pair stated in a statement. Many people refer to us as Black collectors, you know. Not only are we Black, but we also collect art. We gather artists from throughout the globe. Our own community wasn’t gathering these giants, which is why we are focusing more on artists of color.
