Swizz Beatz is doing a Half step…

The 38-year-old half-Puerto Rican hip-hop artist and record producer appears on the “The Half,” a dance anthem from French deejay DJ Snake.

In addition to Swizz Beatz rap, the track also features rap verses from Jeremih and Young Thug.

Directed by X, the clip for the new song was shot at a trippy mirror room. It also features a giant light installation, which was created by Steve Goncalves & Nonotak. Donning a shiny gold coat and matching sunglasses, Swizz starts off the video by rapping his verse. Jeremih, Thug and Snake then alternately enter the frame.

As the video continues, the rappers have some fun with a curvaceous model as they begin caressing her enormous backside. The model is also seen twerking along to the music before she walks down the set with orange flares in-hand.

“The Half” is a cut off Snake’s album”Encore“, which was released on August 5.
