The co-producer of “Uproar“, Avenue Beatz, recently chopped it up with XXL all about his work with Swizz Beatz on Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter V single.

Avenue spoke on sampling G. Dep‘s “Special Delivery“, if he expected “Uproar” to be as big as it is, and getting Weezy to rap over the beat after he said that he didn’t like it on “Green Ranger” off Dedication 4.

Also in their interview, which you can read after the jump below, the producer discussed his first time meeting Tunechi, co-producing Tune‘s “Glory” song off the Free Weezy Album with Angel “Onhel” Aponte, and plenty more!

Swizz Beatz was the special guest on episode 54 of Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller’s Rap Radar Podcast with TIDAL.

Around the 3 minute mark of their sit-down conversation, the New York producer and rapper spoke on him and Lil Wayne performing the “It’s Me…” remix live at Summer Jam, as well as how JAY Z told him personally after he heard “Pistol On My Side” that he loves when he gets together with Wayne.

Later on in their interview, Swizz talked about taking Tunechi out of his comfort zone with “Uproar” and not even noticing that Tune said he doesn’t like the “Green Ranger” beat on Dedication 4, which uses the same sample as “Uproar“.
