Swizz Beatz Believes The Best Hip-Hop Coming From UK

(Radio.com) Drake, Jay Z and Kanye West collaborator Swizz Beatz says that the best hip-hop right now is coming out of the UK. "Just last night I did a track with Giggs and it's a movie," he told BBC Newsbeat.

"There's a lot of talent out here. Musically the UK is stronger than the U.S. right now. As far as the hunger and the unique vibes. I'm into that because I am global thinking anyway. So when I come back to the States and artists hear the hunger [coming from the UK] they're like, 'Okay now I need to do this�' and that's great."

Beatz, who is married to Alicia Keys, also endorsed singer Angel and other UK performers. "I believe that the artist should be free� you free the artists, you free world. Creativity is not to be locked up. It's like a bird, don't cage it, it has to fly." Read more here.
