The Man Behind the Hits....Boy

NIGGAS IN PARIS, COLD (THERAFLU), CLIQUE, I WISH YOU WOULD...WHAT DO ALL THESE SONGS HAVE IN COMMON???

THE FIRST THING AT CAME TO YOUR MIND IS "OH, ALL OF THESE SONGS HAVE KANYE IN THEM" OR "THESE SONGS WERE ALL  RADIO HITS OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS" BUT THERE IS ONE MAIN DETAIL THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW. ALL OF THESE "HITS" STARTED WITH THE PRODUCTION BY A GUY NAMED CHAUNCEY HOLLIS, KNOWN TO YOU AS "HIT-BOY" (PERFECT NAME IF YOU ASK ME!!)

THE G.O.O.D. MUSIC PRODUCER, AND NOW RAPPER AS WELL, JUST RECENTLY SIGNED A DEAL WITH INTERSCOPE RECORDS FOR HIS LABEL HITS SINCE '87 (HS87). ASIDE FROM THE SONGS I NAMED ABOVE, HIT-BOY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY OTHER BANGERS THAT YOU ALL KNOW. TO START, "DROP THE WORLD" BY EMINEM AND WEEZY, "BACKSEAT FREESTYLE" OFF KENDRICK LAMAR'S SPECTACULAR ALBUM good kid, m.A.A.d city, "GOLDIE" AND THE NEWEST SINGLE "1 TRAIN" OFF DAT PMF A$AP ROCKY'S #1 DEBUT ALBUM, AND "RIGHT HERE" BY THE CANADIAN SINGERS' JUSTIN BIEBER AND DRIZZY DRAKE. BUT HIS PRODUCTION IS NOT THE ONLY REASON WHY I'M WRITING THIS ARTICLE.

TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FANS OF HIT-BOY, THEN YOU WOULD KNOW HE DROPPED HIS FIRST EVER RAP MIXTAPE HITstory THIS PAST SUMMER. ALONG WITH THE GREAT VERSES AND HOOKS ON THE SONGS, HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE PRODUCTION AS WELL. HE RECENTLY DROPPED A REMIX OF A SONG OFF THE MIXTAPE WITH HIS FELLOW G.O.O.D. MUSIC RAPPER 2 CHAINZ "FAN (REMIX)", WHICH THE ORIGINAL HAPPENED TO BE MY FAVORITE SONG OFF THE MIXTAPE. THE TAPE HAD 11 QUALITY SONGS WHICH HE LET GO FOR FREE TO HIS FANS, FEATURING HUGE NAMES SUCH AS BIG SEAN, KID CUDI, JOHN LEGEND, AND KING CHIP THA RIPPER. IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THIS MIXTAPE, I SUGGEST YOU DOWNLOAD IT IMMEDIATELY! HE WAS RECENTLY NOMINATED FOR 2013 XXL FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR (AND GOT MY VOTE) AND AS AN ARTIST, HE TOTALLY DESERVES IT!

ALONG WITH THE FREE 11 SONG ALBUM (I MEAN MIXTAPE) HE RELEASED THIS PAST SUMMER, HE HAS ANOTHER FREE PROJECT COMING SOON NAMED ALL I EVER DREAMED OF, WHICH WILL SERVE AS HIS DEBUT ALBUM. HE SAYS THAT HE HAS GROWN GREATLY AS AN ARTIST SINCE HIS LAST PROJECT, SO EXPECT SOME QUALITY MUSIC FROM THIS GUY. YOU AWWLREADY KNOW HE'LL LIVE UP TO THE NAME AND DROPPING NOTHING SHORT OF HITS....BOY!
