Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz and Bono Come Together For Haiti Relief Track
By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 01/18/2010

In support of the current disaster in Haiti, three music superstars are coming together to record a new track, as a plea for Haiti relief funds.

In a series of tweets over the weekend, producer Swizz Beatz revealed that he, Jay-Z and U2's Bono have laid down a record about the tragedy in Haiti, but as of press time, its title was unknown.

"ME, BONO, HOVA, HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT HAITI," Swizzy wrote on his Twitter page (@THEREALSWIZZZ). "STAY TUNNED I TOLD YOU I WAS WORKING ON SOMETHING AMAZING FOR HAITI THEY NEED US!!!!!!"

According to U2's guitarist Edge, Swizz called Bono about doing the collaboration, and the group came together immediately to set it in motion.

"Last night we wrote a song," Edge said in a follow-up tweet. "Bono got a call from a producer, Swizz. He and Jay-Z wanted to do something for Haiti. So, Bono came up with the phrase on the phone, and last night we were here, we wrote a song - finished, recorded and send [sic] back to them. So, that might be the next thing you hear from us!"

Aside from the announcement, not much is known about the content and style of the song, or when it will be released.

Stay tuned...

    Swizz should've just kept the tweet to himself. But for the record, keep your tweets and keep your song. The body count is almost 200 thou.

    Hey Vengence, I get you...but they probably gave money already also. And this way they give more (as the proceeds of the song will most def be 100% charity) so.. it IS a positive thing too...NO?
