Hit-Boy sits down with Vlad and Elliott Wilson to break down the realities of chasing hit records, producer recognition, and the pressure that followed one of hip-hop’s biggest anthems. The Grammy-winning producer recalls sending the beat that became JAY-Z and Kanye West’s “N****s in Paris” from *Watch the Throne*, realizing its impact at a New York playback, and watching the record become a stadium staple.
He also revisits the Paris Bercy shows, where JAY-Z brought him on stage one night—before Kanye allegedly told him he couldn’t touch the stage. Hit-Boy reflects on being signed to G.O.O.D. Music, building beyond one signature hit, and proving his range through work with Nas, A$AP Rocky, Nipsey Hussle, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and more. Plus, he explains the Will Ferrell *Blades of Glory* sample and why many fans still don’t know his credits.
