Dr. Dre was too busy to produce Eve’s upcoming August release ‘Here I Am.”

“The decision was to have Dre start off the album, but Dre is kinda busy.”

“Swizz is my brother. He knows how to work with me. What was supposed to happen, (Swizz) was just going to do a couple (of tracks), but once we get together, we can’t stop working. He knows me really well. We decided he might as well be one of the executive producers,” Eve tells MTV.

“Dre likes when projects are done when you come to him. He’d rather it that way, so it’s cool.”
