Swizz Beatz recently offered high praise to his wife, Alicia Keys, dubbing her the “female Dr. Dre” while revealing an unreleased track she crafted for Meek Mill.
In a video shared by Swizz, fans got a sneak peek into an energetic studio session where Alicia effortlessly played the piano, creating magnetic beats while Meek Mill laid down some compelling verses. Swizz couldn’t help but express his admiration, captioning the post with, “Lost files @meekmill produced by @aliciakeys! Can’t lie AK produce like any heavy producer 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 Female @drdre to be exact!”
Alicia Keys has been spreading her creativity beyond music lately. Last November, she dipped her toes into the beverage industry by filing a trademark for “Alicia Teas,” a move inspired by her husband’s thoughtful gift of custom tea bags back in 2020.
Swizz Beatz fueled this tea venture, confidently predicting it would someday grace Starbucks shelves worldwide. “Happy birthday,” he had said, “we got endless amount of teas and everybody in Starbucks around the world you’re gonna see Alicia Teas. Blessings, happy birthday, baby. Love you!”
Not only involved in musical endeavors and tea branding, the couple also unleashed an impressive coffee table book “Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys.” Released under the Phaidon Books imprint, this book features a deep dive into their art collections, accompanied by a revealing interview conducted by Kimberli Gant, a distinguished Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.
Their effort to collect art “from the heart” underscores their appreciation for artists across the globe, particularly emphasizing artists of color. “You know, a lot of people call us Black collectors. We’re art collectors, and we happen to be Black,” they clarified, illuminating their broad artistic interests.
Alicia Keys continues to redefine her boundaries, whether through groundbreaking music, bold tea ventures, or passionate art collecting. Her creativity knows no bounds.
