A decade after producing “Ni**as in Paris” for Jay-Z and Kanye West’s epic Watch The Throne, Hit-Boy is still crafting bangers for hip-hop royalty. The veteran producer executive produced Nas’ most recent album King’s Disease II, as well as 2020’s King’s Disease, which earned the Illmatic rapper his first Grammy ever. Hit-Boy also oversaw this year’s Judas and the Black Messiah’s soundtrack, which featured the Nipsey Hussle and Jay-Z collaboration “What It Feels Like” and H.E.R.’s Academy Award-winning “Fight for You.”

 

One of the most versatile producers in the game, Hit-Boy’s production credits cross over into different genres as well. His name is found throughout the liner notes of platinum albums from Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, M.I.A., Ariana Grande and many others.
