Atlanta-based multiplatinum award-winning DJ, producer, songwriter, A&R, host, and businessman DJ Swamp Izzo unleashes a new single entitled “3 Cell Phones” featuring Future today. It marks his official debut as an artist for Cash Money Records after recently signing to the label. Get it HERE.
Assembled by Izzo, the track charges forward on a club-ready trap beat with raw energy. GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum superstar Future matches that energy with fierce verses before turning up on the instantly irresistible woozy hook. It stands out as a full-circle moment between these two Atlanta luminaries as Izzo served as Future’s first DJ back in the day and helmed some of his seminal early mixtapes.
The song paves the way for his forthcoming debut album—coming very soon.
Regarding Izzo’s official signing, Cash Money Records co-founder Ronald “Slim” Williams stated, “Izzo is a pillar of the Atlanta scene. He’s played an important role in launching some of the city’s most influential artists, and he’s really left his own mark on hip-hop. Now, it’s his turn in the spotlight, and he’s definitely got the music for it.”
“Izzo’s been a part of our family for a long time now,” added Cash Money Records co-founder and GRAMMY® Award-nominated rap icon Bryan “Baby” Williams a.k.a. Birdman. “I’ve always watched how he moved and what he did. He’s put so many major plays in motion throughout Atlanta and hip-hop as a whole. He’s also an incredible DJ, performer, and artist. Everybody’s about to get to know him in a big way this year.”
Stay tuned for more very soon from DJ Swamp Izzo.
