Coinciding with Bangladesh’s rise to stardom, as a producer, was Swizz Beatz’ hiatus to focus on his growing family. In 2009, Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys married and soon had a child. Over the past couple of years, the couple has been out of the spotlight, bonding with their new child.
During this period of time, hip hop has marched forward, to the approval and disappointment of many. Bangladesh has enjoyed much success during this period of time, producing “6 Foot 7 Foot” for Lil Wayne. With the song ushering in 2011’s highest-selling album, Tha Carter IV, doors opened up for Bangladesh.
