Coldplay to guest on Swizz Beatz album

Yahoo! Music, Mar 8, 2007 4:00 pm PST
Coldplay are among the guest stars on the new Swizz Beatz album, it has been confirmed.

The U.K. rock heroes appear on the track "Part Of The Plan," which is taken from the American rapper and producer's forthcoming album, One Man Band Man.

There has been no confirmation which member is involved in the collaboration, although Chris Martin famously produced and sang on "Beach Chair" from Jay-Z's 2006 comeback album Kingdom Come.

Martin is also understood to have recorded a song entitled "Homecoming," which is scheduled to be the first single from the new Kanye West album.

Speaking to Billboard, Swizz confirmed plans to release "Part Of The Plan" as a single, with a video in the pipeline lensed by Crash director Paul Haggis.

Just Blaze and Kanye West are among the other stars on One Man Band Man, although Swizz insists he wants to be viewed in his own right.

"I didn't want my album to be like I was leaning on a whole bunch of other artists like crutches," he explained.
