Aston Martin embraces hip-hop...

It’s becoming all the rage these days, Fiat recently got together with Faithless for their Punto Evo campaign, spawning a ‘Feelin Good’ special edition. Aston Martin being the coolest of automotive brands chose… Swizz Beatz for their ‘music edition’ special. Erm, Swizz who?

Just as “..if you need to ask the price, then you probably can’t afford it”, then I suspect Aston would say “..if you have to ask who Swizz Beatz is then you just aint cool”

Don’t worry, not being a hardcore fan of hip-hop music myself, I had to google him too.

To save you the bother, Swizz Beatz (real name, Kasseem Dean) is an American record producer, DJ, and rapper who is married to Alicia Keys. So what’s this got to do with Aston Martin?

Well, just last week on his Twitter feed @THEREALSWIZZZ he tweeted the following message together with a picture of himself next to Aston’s forthcoming supercar, the One-77:

[blockquote type=”blockquote_quotes” align=”center”]SWIZZ BEATZ & ASTON MARTIN IS COMING SOON RT![/blockquote]

Kasseem then followed this up a few hours ago with a photo of himself reviewing what looks to be a personalised Aston Martin Rapide in Aston’s design studio, together with the following tweets:
