The track will appear on Swizz Beatz's upcoming solo album, Poison, his first full-length since 2007. "Pistol on My Side" opens with an ostentatious orchestral passage, as if it's the theme to a James Bond movie. Then a crooked piano lick and fierce drum-bursts sweep away the pomp. Lil Wayne raps with his characteristic tongue-twisting charm; Swizz Beatz adds energy-raising ad-libs. In the video for the song, Lil Wayne swigs from a canister of gasoline, pours it all over a piano, and lights the instrument on fire. At the end of the clip, Alicia Keys — who is married to Swizz Beatz — shows up and begins playing the burning piano Her keyboard riffs bring "Pistol on My Side" to a somber close. Swizz Beatz has been producing world-beating hits for two decades, His discography includes DMX's "Ruff Ryders' Anthem," T.I.'s "Bring Em Out" and Beyonce's "Ring the Alarm," among many, many others. Due to his busy schedule working with others, Swizz Beatz's solo career has been less prolific. His only studio album, One Man Band Man, came out in 2007. He has been teasing the follow-up, Poison, for several months. Lil Wayne guests on the 10-track LP along with Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Pusha-T, the Lox, Young Thug and more. Poison was co-executive-produced by J. Cole. #### Trending ##### Lil Wayne Joins Swizz Beatz, Sets a Piano on Fire in 'Pistol on My Side' Video ##### Justice Department Sides With Led Zeppelin in 'Stairway to Heaven' Legal Battle ##### Travers: Peter Fonda, The Easiest Rider of Them All ##### The Next Recession Is Going to Be Brutal ##### Slayer Removed as NASCAR Racecar Sponsor 'Due to Reactionary Concerns' #### Editors' Picks ### Billie Eilish and the Triumph of the Weird Posted in: Music Features ### The Millennial 100 Posted in: Culture Lists ### The Heavy Metal Grifter Posted in: Culture Features #### Trending Concerts ##### Get Tickets Get Tickets Get Tickets ### Newswire Powered by ### 16 Celeb Daughters Who Are Just As Gorgeous As Their Famous Parents — Lola Consuelos & More Posted on: HollywoodLife 3 hours ago ### Jamie Foxx and Sylvester Stallone's Daughters, Corinne and Sistine, Costar in "47 Meters Down: Uncaged" Posted on: WWD 1 day ago ### Fox News Hosts Bash Bernie Sanders For Trying To "Buy Cred" With Cardi B Interview Posted on: Deadline 8 hours ago ### TIFF 2019 Deals: The Complete List of Festival Purchases So Far Posted on: Indiewire 12 hours ago ### Patrick Swayze movies: 15 greatest films, ranked worst to best, include 'Dirty Dancing,' 'Ghost,' 'Road House' Posted on: GoldDerby 4 hours ago Rolling Stone MusicExpand the sub menuTVExpand the sub menuMoviesExpand the sub menuPoliticsExpand the sub menuCultureExpand the sub menuMoreExpand the sub menu Subscribe Now Alerts & Newsletters © 2019 Penske Media Corporation RS Live Media Logo Created with Sketch. <path d="M387.681841,110.957031 C387.681841,109.461434 386.279556,108.448701 383.02978,108.448701 C379.321895,108.448701 373.843947,109.241367 370.009168,109.241367 C363.595646,109.241367 358.143507,108.03207 353.134422,105.545105 C350.527718,107.576981 349.013594,109.882338 349.013594,113.200427 C349.013594,
