Ep 186Lil Durk's trial has turned into another internet debate about snitching and street code. I get into Durk's defense pointing the finger at OTF Vonnie, OTF Jam's testimony, the leaked phone call, and why I think people watching from the outside are getting ahead of themselves.Then, Hit-Boy's VladTV interview had me thinking about more than his relationship with Nas.

Episode 111: Hit-Boy is one of the biggest producers in modern day music. He's produced some of the biggest songs for Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Drake, Travis Scott, Big Sean and Nipsey Hussle. He's a 3x Grammy winner. He gave Jay-Z the first diamond record of his career, off a beat that six artists turned down before it ever got to him. This Hit-Boy interview is different than the others he's done. We go deep into the craft, how the beats actually get made, cut, released, and paid! Why he's numbered every single beat he's made since 2006, and what happened to the 1,600 nobody picked. We got into all of it. Making "Backseat Freestyle" for Ciara before Kendrick ever heard it. Producing a #1 country record for Beyoncé. Being flat broke in 2017 with a future #1 already sitting on his hard drive. Getting free after 18 years and putting his new album out himself, on his own site, with no label and no DSPs. He also still makes everything in FL Studio, the same program he started on at 15 years old in Fontana, California. He's one of the most important producers of the last 15 years and he's still working like he has something to prove. His biggest days are still ahead of him. This one's for anybody who makes music in the modern world, especially hip hop and pop. I hope you enjoy my interview with the legendary, Hit-Boy! Huge thanks to our friends at DistroKid!

YG's Still Brazy turns 10 this year, and this episode of The Record Report breaks down why the album's mix of political rap and West Coast storytelling still holds up a decade later. Ahmad and Vance revisit YG's 2016 album track by track, from the Compton gangsta rap foundation to the G-funk revival Terrace Martin and Hit-Boy brought to the production.We get into FDT and what it meant to release that record during the 2016 election, the regional California sound that separates Still Brazy from My Krazy Life, and the Kamaiyah and Drake feature on Why You Always Hatin' that bridges the Bay, Toronto, and Compton on one track. We also talk through Twist My Fingaz, the authenticity and storytelling that ground YG's political songs, and how Still Brazy connects to YG's new album, The Gentleman's Club, and what he's said about finally getting free of his old Def Jam deal.Whether FDT is still your protest song of choice or you're revisiting Still Brazy for the first time since 2016, this episode makes the case for why it holds up as one of the defining West Coast hip hop albums of its era.More episodes, show notes, and the full archive at therecordreport.com.

In this episode of With That Being Said, J.R. Bang brings on longtime friend and hip-hop sparring partner Camp From The Port to revisit their decades-long Jay-Z vs. Nas debates and give Nas his flowers through a focused conversation on Nas's most underrated records. They each share their origin stories as fans—Camp initially turning off “The World Is Yours” on TV before eventually becoming a lifelong Nas listener, and J.R. coming in as a die-hard Jay-Z defender who grew up arguing Hov vs. Esco in high school and college. From there, they get into specific deep-cut Nas records that deserve more love, with Camp spotlighting “Undying Love” from I Am…, “Still Dreaming” and “Project Windows,” and “You Gotta Love It” off The Lost Tapes, while J.R. counters with favorites like “Small World,” “Last Words,” “Nas Is Coming,” and “Fear Of The Black Man's Dick” from the Untitled album. Along the way, they unpack the cultural impact of “Takeover” and “Ether,” the way fans lie about what albums they actually heard, why I Am… and Nastradamus are better than their reputations, and how Nas's late-career run with Hit-Boy has raised the bar for what aging rappers can sound like.

Hit-Boy is an award-winning producer and rapper from LA. He's one of my all-time favorite producers, from “Backseat Freestyle” by Kendrick Lamar, to “Sicko Mode” by Travis Scott, to tracks he's made for Beyonce, Nas, and the Jay-Z & Kanye album Watch the Throne. So I was really excited to talk to him, and when I asked him which song from his incredible catalog he wanted to talk about, I was really moved by his choice. He picked “Racks in the Middle” by Nipsey Hussle, featuring Roddy Ricch. Nipsey Hussle was a rapper and community activist from LA whose career was cut short, tragically, when he was murdered in 2019. He'd released just one album, Victory Lap. “Racks in the Middle” was the last song released in Nipsey's lifetime. It went platinum, and a year after his death, it won the Grammy for Best Rap Performance, in 2020. This episode features a few short clips from a video that Nipsey Hussle made for the website Genius, back in 2019. There's a link to the full video that he made in the shownotes. But here in the studio, to tell the story, I spoke to Hit-Boy about how “Racks in the Middle” came together.To learn more, visit songexploder.net/hit-boy.

Grammy-winning producer Hit-Boy has shaped the sound of modern hip-hop—crafting timeless records for Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Nas, Kanye West, and more. But behind the hits is a deeper story about creative ownership, personal growth, and learning when to let go. Recorded live at Fast Company's Innovation Festival, executive director of editorial programming KC Ifeanyi traces Hit-Boy's evolution from a teenage producer chasing opportunity to a creative leader rewriting his own rules. He opens up about being locked into a restrictive publishing deal for nearly two decades, how mentorship from Jay-Z helped him regain control, and why he now sees that period as a necessary part of his growth. Hit-Boy also dives into his creative process—why he treats beat-making like a video game, how rejection is baked into the job, and what it really takes to make music that lasts. He shares his perspective on AI as a creative tool (not a threat), his journey with therapy and mental health, and why setting boundaries has been essential to protecting his energy. Now expanding into film, brand work, and building a creative hub for the next generation, Hit-Boy describes this chapter of his life as a “software update”—a full reset, creatively and personally.

Today's guest has rewired modern hip-hop. His fingerprints live all over the last decade but the real story behind that success is far more human, painful, and transformative than the headlines ever show. In this conversation, he opens up about the highs and lows of being a producer in hip-hop: the pressure, the politics, the contracts, the moments that nearly broke him, and the breakthroughs that almost didn't happen. He also shares the lessons shaped by fatherhood, betrayal, and real perseverance — all while creating some of the most important and culture-defining music of our time. And The Writer Is... Hitboy! A special thank you to our sponsors... Our lead sponsor, NMPA aka the National Music Publisher's Association.

He opens up about how staying creative outside of music feeds his artistry and keeps him evolving.Hit-Boy reflects on his early beginnings, sharing stories about growing up around music and how his uncle's success in a hip-hop group sparked his desire to make beats. He walks through his journey from bedroom producer to Grammy-winning powerhouse, breaking down how staying consistent and fearless allowed him to produce for legends and still innovate with each record.Throughout the conversation, both producers talk about the friendly competition that pushes them to keep raising the bar, the respect they have for each other's grind, and what it means to create music that stands the test of time. They speak on mentorship, influence, and how they view the next generation of producers coming up behind them.Candid, funny, and filled with insight, this episode captures two musical giants at the top of their craft, discussing artistry, discipline, and the mindset it takes to stay relevant while remaining authentic.
