Hit-Boy's Fresh Start with Father at the Grammys

As the Grammy Awards approach, music producer Hit-Boy isn't just looking forward to the prestige of the red carpet; he's also excited to experience it alongside his father for the very first time. His father's past, shadowed by intermittent prison sentences totaling three decades, is now behind them since his release a few months ago, and Hit-Boy is committed to fortifying their bond and delving into the music business together.

Family and Nominations

Hit-Boy, recognized for his collaborations with stars like Jay-Z, Nas, and Kanye West, now holds a Grammy nomination for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. This year's work featured his production on projects with Brent Faiyaz, Blxst, and The Alchemist, as well as the revered 'King's Disease III' by Nas, which is nominated for Best Rap Album. He also made time to include his father, Big Hit, on tracks of his personal projects, where they both shared the mic.

Emotions and Independence

The news of his Grammy nomination brought Hit-Boy a rush of emotions, especially in a year where he put his faith in artists without mega-budgets behind them. Working primarily with Nas and his father, who contributed lyrics from prison, evolved into studio sessions post-release, leading to Big Hit's debut album 'The Truth is in My Eyes'. Featuring renowned artists like Snoop Dogg and Benny The Butcher, the album marks a significant step in Big Hit's creative journey.

The Music Industry's Challenges

While labels showed interest in signing Big Hit, Hit-Boy and his father chose an independent route to avoid unfavorable deals like the one Hit-Boy has found himself in. Instead, they're selling music directly, opting out of streaming platforms to preserve their earnings and maintain control over their work.

The Ultimate Grammy Dream

Winning a Grammy would be a crowning achievement for Hit-Boy, more so if it could be shared with his father, mother, and son. Having won Grammys while his father was incarcerated, he now hopes to celebrate future victories with his entire family present, symbolizing a circle of support and triumph over past challenges.
