In 2015, he lent his talents to tracks by Teddybears (“Broken Heartbeat”) and Rihanna (“Bitch Better Have My Money”). In 2016 he returned with ‘Unstoppable’, his first LP in a decade which also featured production by Major Lazer, plus appearances by Akon and Bounty Killer. Sharing a notorious rivalry with latter of these guests during their early days, Beenie has since come full circle with the pair engaging in a memorable DJ battle together on Timbaland and Swizz Beatz’ Verzuz TV during the pandemic.
