    Nas and Hit-Boy working together has to be one of the best gifts Hip-Hop has received!

    Hit boy is very different man, he just produced Nas's album "Magic" absolutely crazy beats. So much longevity, like it's not going nowhere for a long time. Niggas in Paris changed the world too.

    After watching multiple interviews & documentary's about Record Producers I've come to realize one huge elephant in the room - all of these guys grew up with or had family members already in the industry. Those connections allowed them to get their foot in the door & it rings true here as well with Hit Boy. Never forget that lesson, "life isn't about what you know but, who you know."

    Not even 'hit-boy' super fan as such but this interview was truly beautiful and necessary for me right now. Especially considering the whole he had a massive high quite young, dipped and then came out of that even stronger and is now shining. Such a real representation of the ups and downs of a creative career and not letting that get you down/ to continue to persevere.

    The MySpace era. A time when you could be a nobody and connect with whoever you wanted and if you had talent, they’d meet with you in real life. So many incredible connections were made during this time. Now it’s all about your “following” and “influence” before anything.

    Hit-Boy is one of the rare beat maker that is able to put his flavor on beats while at the same time adapting for any artists. I 100% agree when he talk about his work with Nas at 25:07 . To add on top of that, his beat often end up a culture classic for the artist. He deserve all the recognition that comes to him
