Swizz Beatz successfully brought New York into the 21st century by embracing electronics. "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" is gritty and packed with coiled energy, and the track predates DMX releasing his aggro id. "What Ya Want" is his prettiest gem, kettle drums and gentle marimbas demonstrating his songwriting and arranging skills. T.I.'s "Bring Em Out" builds on the Swizz Beatz sound with a swaggering, bouncing groove.
