Shae 4-5, that voice right there, you know, listen, I don't know where he lives now, Heather, but he used to live down the street from King Tech and me
0:07
I remember you told him, you said that. Yeah, man. And I remember going to his house, he didn't have no furniture, but he had a lot of rappers in there
0:14
Okay. Hang out, the spot. It was the spot, man. It was a lot of bedrooms filled with studio equipment
0:20
Spot. And that man let me ride up in his house and said, hey, man, go wherever you want. I have to use the bathroom. I've used it upstairs
0:27
Heather ain't even let me upstairs at her house. Absolutely not, Hit Boys. Yeah, man
0:31
But listen, man, this guy's been putting it down for quite some time for years
0:35
I mean, like easily 16, 17, 18 years. That's a fact. He started as a youth in this music business, and he was a yearling at that time
0:44
And at that time, man, he was kind of moving on his own guidance. You know, I remember meeting your pops
0:50
Your pops was doing, you know, your pops was paying his dues to society, if you will
0:57
Yeah, well put. And a lot of decisions he had to make, he had to make on his own
1:02
And for whatever reasons, those decisions start to align. And some of the greatest music of this era has come out of his studios
1:10
whether we're talking about s in Paris, Trophies, whether we're talking about Racks in the Middle
1:17
whether we're talking about Roddy Ricch, whether we're talking about Sorry with Beyonce, Drop the World
1:22
which is one of my favorite tracks of all time by Lil Wayne, Sickle Mode by Travis Scott
1:27
and the list of the King's Disease album one and two. Come on, man
1:34
Stop playing. Now I know what they mean when they be like, stop playing with me
1:40
This man's career is so illuminated, I'm taking credit. I'm sorry, I got a little bit beside myself
1:50
But he never fails, man, if we call him and say, hey, man, I love to see you
1:55
He always comes through. Which is fire Audio Push I remember those guys
1:59
Oh yeah Man come on That's how I met them Man those you know And they ended up
2:03
Performing at my Daughter's graduation party Oh that's it But she graduated
2:07
From high school And now you got The album coming out With Dreezy Hit Girl
2:12
Just Drop Hit Girl Just Drop That's the first Full female MC project
2:17
I ever produced Let's go I feel good about that Congratulations When I'm really going
2:21
She really spit Like I was just Playing the album On the way over here Like she really
2:24
She really up With the bars For real She did her. So she wrote all those bars
2:29
Definitely. Let's go, Chicago. Okay. She's fire. Welcome the multi-Grammy awarding producer himself
2:35
Give it up for the cultural impactor, curator, the one and only, the Grand Slam hitter
2:41
He's the designated hitter. He's fourth in the lineup. If you want to get the Grand Slam, this is who you call on, the one and only Hit Boy
2:49
Welcome back. Crazy, crazy intro, man. Love that. Appreciate that. It's all from the heart because I feel like they come to you when they want to hit that grand slam now
2:59
Crazy. Kanye's done it. Nas has done it. You work. You've done Nipsey music
3:06
You know, you've done all of these great artists, so they come to you, and so you accept and embrace that title, brother
3:12
I ain't mad at it. Word. Come on, man. Dreezy's one of my favorite songs on the album is Phasers
3:17
Me too. Yeah, that's pretty much my favorite. Yeah, that shit's crazy
3:21
Yeah, Dreezy. She just feel real, feel authentic, you know what I'm saying
3:25
Well, that's who she is. You remember Heather when she first came to the show? But I wanted to ask you then with so much work you've done with male artists
3:32
and you mentioned that she was the first female you did a full, are there any differences in terms of as a producer sitting back
3:39
and the process of it all and you being in the studio and even critiquing
3:44
Nah, I try to keep it level with everybody. I'm going to act the same
3:48
I don't care who it is, you know what I'm saying? And I just want the best product. And, I mean, man, like, her music cut through
3:54
And I feel it, like, you know what I'm saying? On the level as, you know, whoever I'm working with
3:59
So, like, nah, I just, you know, we kept it real. And we just kept it authentic
4:03
And, I mean, maybe when it comes to, like, video shoots. And she got to do her extra little glam
4:08
Like, that's just a part of the game. But with the music, nah, we keeping it solid
4:13
Do you do, a lot of actors, when they come up here and they take on a role
4:17
they create what they call a Bible. Some people call it different things
4:20
But character, they got a character that they're going to portray. They create the back story for it
4:25
You know, so when they're portraying that character in their mind and their psyche, they know the different levels of this character's personality
4:31
When you go to work on a project with artists you haven't worked on, do you do back work
4:36
Do you do the research? For sure. I mean, I grew up on the West Coast, so working on the last three Nas albums
4:45
I really had to go back and study, you know what I'm saying, and really listen to all his albums
4:50
At one point when we was about to put the first King's Disease out, I just remember just being super in my head about the intro
4:58
So I went back and listened to every intro he ever did and all his albums
5:01
and I just was trying to make sure that I was going to live up to the standard. You know what I'm saying
5:05
People come up to me still like, yo, the King's Disease, that beat is crazy
5:09
That album crazy. So I feel like we really hit it on the head
5:14
Heather, Horse got shouted out on one of those tracks, right? Car85
5:19
yeah he was like Horson Dool and Baker yeah because they grew up
5:23
in the same in the projects together Queensbridge so yeah that's crazy wow
5:28
I think that's a dope approach I always credit Primo DJ Premier
5:32
as a producer who listens to lyrics and we're able to do
5:36
like these hooks sometimes out of people's lyrics oh yeah yeah he just knows
5:40
top tier with that top tier and for you to go back and listen to intros
5:44
because you just reminded me how brilliant Nas work was always with the intros
5:48
It's so funny that you studied that way That's really dope Do producers like a premiere
5:55
Like you know producers who are on a higher echelon Obviously you don't have work problems
6:00
Working with them But is it ever like so competitive That you feel like man
6:03
Is this dude gonna take my method Is this dude gonna take my drums
6:07
Nah I don't feel like that But it's funny cause I've been I've been having this conversation lately
6:12
Just like as far as like the new producers And I mean, people have always collaborated, but I just feel like the era where I came up
6:20
you could clearly identify who the best producer was. Now it's five, six producers on every song
6:27
So it's like, who really the best with this shit? Listen to Magic. Go look at the credits
6:31
You know what I'm saying? Listen to KD2. Look at the credits. It's like, there's not a lot of five, six mothers on every song
6:38
So I mean, bro, I don't want to go there for real. We already did
6:42
Hit boy. We already did. Come on. Talk about it, man. Bro, this shit crazy
6:46
What are you saying? Do you feel like you get compared to people who haven't really reached your level yet or done your work
6:54
Man, one million percent. Like, even on a, just to keep it a million, like, even on a business end, I see mothers that I put on, like, producers
7:03
They signing producers. They got their business right. And I'm still literally, I mean, I know you was around way back, and it was just kind of chaotic
7:11
Like, I'm a lot more put together, but I still ain't got my business in a place where I fully want it
7:16
So I'm just signing all the, like, mothers want to sign to me all day, every day. I don't have a situation structured to just sign producers
7:23
And that shit's ridiculous because these mothers, I literally put on that sign of producers and got they thing together
7:29
So, you know, I don't know whether I'm so buried deep into the music that I got to really focus on that business side
7:37
But that's just been a tough thing for me. You were a signed producer at one point, right
7:42
Man, yeah, for sure. What is that like, though, that dynamic being a signed producer
7:47
when you were signed with Kanye? Was it limiting? Nah, hell nah. I mean, we made s and Pairs click
7:52
We made Christmas in Harlem. We made Wish You Would. We made a lot of joints. So when I used to talk to No ID, like before I signed to Kanye
8:00
I was having conversations with him, and he got this thing where he talks about brand energy
8:06
So you worked with you working with a person with a crazy brand energy you gonna connect with that and you gonna be able to grow what you doing
8:14
So like, you know, even with Nas like it's a it works both ways
8:18
Like I got a certain brand energy and so to see so us coming together You don see it on paper being the best shit ever but when you listen you like it some of the best shit ever Hit boy here
8:29
Hit boy. I remember, I'm so happy that you're with us too, brother. You're one of the greatest, so it's always a pleasure having you
8:35
I remember you doing an interview, I want to say, with Vice, and the way my eyes just widened when I heard you share some details
8:42
behind the scenes with the business and being signed to Universal, I want to say going back to 2007, correct
8:48
Uh-huh, UMPG, yeah. Mm-hmm. And you had mentioned us. By the way, I'm still in a deal with them right now
8:54
which is some super bullshit, but it is what it is. I've been in the same deal
8:58
I was in the same, like, periods of my deal, like, for, like, 14 years straight
9:03
I'm talking about, like, millions of dollars made. We talking about multi-diamond records, you know what I'm saying? Grammys
9:09
Like, multiple Grammys, and it's just like. Same terms as the original day one
9:13
That's wild. Bro, for, like, 14 years straight, and I just was able
9:17
Thank God for Jay-Z, Desiree from Roc Nation. When I was working with them, they did help me get an amendment on my deal
9:24
But at the same time, I just feel like I put so much of my life into that deal
9:31
I mean, I signed when I was 19, one year out of high school. I didn't have no real guidance and shit
9:37
I just feel like for my contribution to the game, I should be out of a bullshit publishing deal
9:43
Period, point blank. For real. Because the craziest part, Citizens, when I was reading, is pretty much Universal had an undercover type of lawyer that was working with them, but you thought was your unbiased lawyer that was going to
9:59
Well, it wasn't necessarily them. It was because it's a co-pub with Polo to Don
10:03
I got love for Polo, but at the same time, it's just like a, it's just a weird thing, man
10:09
Because when I talk about getting out of my deal or fixing my deal to the place where I really will feel comfortable, it's just a finger pointing
10:18
Polo says it's universal. Universal says Polo. And this is some shit that s going to look at and be like, why are you talking about your personal shit
10:25
But this shit has affected me as a human being, my
10:29
This shit is crazy, bro. It's sick. But it is what it is, bro
10:34
I just really want to take my power back with all things I'm doing right now
10:39
I don't want mothers getting paid off me that don't deserve it. I don't want to be a part of no shit that I don't
10:45
I'm paying mothers I don't even see that don't really got love for me
10:49
I'm done with all the shit. They're not doing no work for you. They're just getting a residual
10:53
And I don't think you telling your personal business, I think it's helpful, to be honest with you
10:58
Because imagine you at 19 had you heard somebody say this. Exactly
11:03
It would have been maybe a question because we all have experienced that, you know, being full-time artists at one point
11:09
So thank you for sharing that because somebody 19 listening to you right now
11:13
Well, not only that, it brings light to the reality of the music business
11:17
You're looking at Instagram, you're looking at TikTok, you're looking at all these different places and people look like it's going great
11:25
And now you have one of the most successful producers of this modern day era
11:30
And behind the scenes, he has all this chaos with his business, which means no matter how much he's made, he's made others millions. Multi-millions Multi-millions
11:40
And there's millions That he didn't get That should've went To his pockets
11:44
Nah, no cap Yeah, and he's still here Mike Muse, you wanna jump in? I do
11:49
And sorry for the hesitation, brother But, like, just sitting here Listen, I almost feel the energy, right
11:53
It's just like I just feel the passion I mean, I just turned 35 Saturday, bro
11:57
I've been in my deal Since I was 19 teen, bro
12:01
16 years, bro It's people that work at UMPG That was in middle school
12:05
When I signed, bro That you're paying salary because of your success
12:09
Like, come on, man. His catalog. His catalog. What about his catalog? You and PG, I love you, Polo, but my , we got to get this shit right, bro
12:17
Mm-hmm. Period. So I'm curious, because you're an artist still, and so as you are still making hits and producing
12:24
albums and producing hits, is this impacting you when you go into the studio
12:29
Every single day, man. Why the you think I cranked out about to be my fourth Nas album in two years
12:34
Like, I'm going berserk out here. I'm doing full albums for s
12:40
I'm doing everything in my personal power to just, like, you know
12:46
make sure that I take myself to the next level. Because I am stuck in some shit that I shouldn't be stuck in
12:53
dealing with situations I shouldn't be dealing with. But the music always just centers me back
12:58
The music, you know, and my son as well. Like, you know what I'm saying? I got to go hard for him
13:02
God bless. Just like, man, the music is really some of the only things
13:07
like one of the only things that gets me through for real. Like just like the fact that I love to make it
13:12
and people like to collaborate with me. You know what I'm saying? But the business shit definitely will make you be like, bro
13:20
I'm finna run up in the office. My and my pops is in prison. My s don't, s don't, you know what I'm saying
13:25
We come from a different background. Yeah, that's what used to happen in the 90s
13:29
There's so many of them offices With guns Brash everything It's not like a game
13:35
Like mothers Then literally came to me Like bro you want me to go Handle some shit
13:39
I'm like Let me just Just work myself Through this shit It's God's plan Obviously
13:44
I always be like Yo God just got An interesting Way of doing it
13:49
Way of doing things Man like And it's all love But Yeah bro
13:54
I'm really trying to like Level up And just get to that That place of
13:58
Just freedom just taking my power back. People have been getting paid off me since I was a teen
14:02
Like, I'm tired of this shit. Get your freedom. Get his power back. Hit Boy is here with that realness
14:07
Shout out, because I know you mentioned Desiree and Jay-Z. Definitely. Those elders, so to speak, that actually stepped up and tried to help
14:19
Yeah, but it's just so, the situation is just so foul, and the wording and the contracting, it's like, you know
14:26
they couldn't even really get it to where I needed it to be. You know what I'm saying
14:30
And that's Jay-Z, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's deep. Do you still work with the same attorney
14:35
No, I don't. Okay. Okay. Because I blame all that on whoever's supposed to represent you
14:40
Yeah. A lot of, you know, it's the attorneys. Like, it's a dirty game out here
14:44
I know we just kind of veered off, but just to go back to that's how the conversation started
14:48
with what you said. So basically, it was a lawyer hired on my behalf who negotiated the actual contract
14:58
I thought he was going to be like my real lawyer. Right. He was basically like a dummy lawyer, not to disrespect him, but you know what I'm saying
15:06
He did the deal, and then it really was like a conglomerate of manager, business manager, label
15:14
That was just in cahoots, and it's like they started handling all my shit, getting paid off
15:18
It was a plant. That's wild. Yeah, plant facts. A lot of times I had that happen, and I'll share this
15:24
King Tech and I, we did a production deal over at Interscope back when M&M got signed
15:29
because they don't tell this part of the story. A lot of reasons why it got signed was because of our show
15:33
but I remember sitting with the head of Interscope, and he said, you got an attorney
15:37
I said, yeah, well, you got to use one of these three. And I said, well, I have to use it
15:42
That way the deal will go through smooth. They're great attorneys faster. You know, I didn't realize, you know, those attorneys had other clients that would sign up
15:50
Yes. And wait, back then you were so thirsty for that $10,000 advance
15:55
You just hurried up and signed up. I'm sorry, we didn't re-up, you know, because we got wise to it
16:01
And that's just the nature of the beast. Right. You know, when you look at the NFL, you look at all these different corporations, they're running these sharecropper deals
16:09
These sharecropping deals is someone like as amazing as Hit Boy gets the short end of the stick
16:15
But I want to also celebrate what it is that you have brought to this culture
16:20
It's unmatched. I want to say thank you for your contribution over the years
16:25
all this music you've made, and, you know, with people who come from it, and you keep pushing it forward regardless of what's happening behind the scenes
16:34
And since you're here, man, I feel like we should celebrate by playing something exclusive
16:38
I know you got something exclusive in that phone right there, man. Come on, man. Who you been working with lately Game I read you was working with the game Yeah I been working with the game I was collaborating with him on the easy joint with him and yay uh working on a bunch of his music i play something he probably gonna he probably gonna dial in like come on man that the homie

22:02
You can feel it, man. What else you been working on? I know you work with Game, and who else? I mean, obviously, it's crazy because right now I feel like I can't even sneeze
22:10
without Nas fans asking me about KD3, man, the King's Disease 3
22:15
That's what's like. I'm a Nas fan. I feel like this is the most pressure we ever put on ourselves
22:22
Because he said KD3 was on the way on the last album, Magic. So I'm like, you know, fans, they just be in my DM
22:28
I could post a picture doing some random shit. They like, , go work on KD3, bro
22:32
Man, quit having fun. Go to work. No, it's crazy. You got anything in that phone we can tease us with
22:38
Yeah. Man, I mean, shit. Yeah, we here, man. We're going to go a little over, Tom. I can't tease no KD3, but I can for sure
22:43
Let me see, dude. That was a tease in itself, though. Let me tell you something
22:47
Let me tell you, first time Nas got played in L.A. It was on the world famous Wake Up Show
22:52
Let them know. Oh, that's crazy. All Caught in the Bay, Royal Famous Wake Up Show
22:56
live at the barbecue. First verse on the song. That's the first song we ever played
23:01
That was in 19... Damn, what was that? You Let Us Know
23:06
Whenever that came out. See? They're having too many wins on the board
23:11
See, some of the stuff I'm working on, I really can't even talk about, but..
23:15
Okay, what, that J track? Which one you can't talk about? What's that? That J track
23:19
You can't talk about that J track? I think it's Beyonce's way. I think it might be Rihanna
23:23
What are you doing? Hey, man. You on Rihanna's album? Man, I don't know what's going on, bro
23:28
But it's a possibility that you might have worked with Rihanna? Nah, I don't know
23:33
I don't know what you're talking about. That's not a no, though. That's not a no. Nah, nah, for sure
23:37
I mean, she just had a C. She ain't worried about no music
23:41
In the past, though. Okay, she will be. She got a new kid. They got to make some money
23:45
Inspiration. All right. Okay. We know you worked on Game, but Game said he could beat
23:51
I mean, him in a battle. Oh, yeah. This is M-Hole station
23:57
Just be real about it. I'm not sure how they'll feel about that one. What about other women, though
24:02
You know, off the strength of Dreezy, what other women have you been working with? Nicki got an album coming
24:09
Yeah, I mean, me and Nicki got a bunch of stuff. Like, we did. There we go
24:12
I mean, like, stuff that's already come out. We ain't worked on no new shit, but I definitely would be down to work on her shit
24:18
Nikki's so incredible and impactful, her career and who she is as a businesswoman
24:26
the way she's curated her career, because we know she's the one who curated her career
24:32
But as an emcee, you work with them all, man. Where would you rank her
24:38
I mean, she's obviously high on the list, you know what I'm saying? I don't really like to put a number on shit, you know what I'm saying
24:46
But she's definitely one of the best to ever do it, for sure. She done came with bars, came with flows, rapped with the best
24:52
and sounded the best on them songs. So it's like, you know, you got to respect it
24:56
