See DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, Hit-Boy. It's not necessary for a hip hop producer to be relevant as an artist before branching out into music-it happens all the time.
Those songs just confirmed that Miley is in fact a huge part of his success right now.
Your fave just spoiled her chances to get a grammy. At least mine doesn't present every song of a new album in full before so that it disabuses people of buying her album real quick which it currently does. 300k max. opening week to come.
Swine could do well as a 4th-5th single. It wouldn't do amazingly but I think it could be popular with a younger, college-y crowd + restore some pull that she's obv lost there.
The explosive, accessible chorus + hard beat = recipe for a club ANTHEM at the very least.
