Swizz Beatz celebrated the It's Dark and Hell Is Hot single's anniversary, sharing another throwback with his Instagram followers. He called the song's release date the day his "life changed forever," going on to say "long live my brother [DMX]!!!!"

Swizz Beatz has also previously discussed the similarities he sees between young NYC rapper Scar Lip and his late friend. Last month, he even said that he believes the rapper sent her to him. "I honestly feel like DMX sent Scar Lip my way because she's too much of his energy," he explained. "Like I've never seen an artist that just naturally have what I know DMX have. And they two different artists, two different levels, yes. But I'm not talking about that. You know, like, that sister's been through a lot, like Dog been through a lot." He continued, "That sister, you know, is when you sit with her, she's amazing and have a great heart the same way X had a great heart."
