Swizz Beatz surprised fans by previewing an unreleased J. Cole verse on DMX, JAY-Z and Nas' 'Bath Salts' during his Verzuz rematch with Timbaland.

Complex, Swizz Beatz talked about getting DMX, JAY-Z and Nas on Bath Salts depite their history with one another. Thats a real New York staple moment, he said. Jay, Nas, DMX, you hear those three names and you almost wonder what that album would sound like with them.So, this song was just a glimpse of that. And thank God that we were able to get that done and everybody was cooperative. My brother, Jay, my brother Nas, I really commend everybody for coming together and putting the egos to the side. X had a certain vibe with Jay, but Jay looked past that.X was past that at this point, too. It was just good to see real Hip Hop on some fire beats. Asked whether they recorded their verses in a studio together, he added, No. That wouldve been a movie. It couldve happened in LA, but just you know Everybody was in their comfort space, and I was cool with that. I sent the beat, so you never know when youre going to get what youre going to get back.
