Hit-Boy sits down with Elliot Wilson and DJ Vlad for a candid conversation about family, success, and the difficult road behind *His Story 2: Success Is a Dirty Word*. The Grammy-winning producer opens up about investing nearly $1 million into his father Big Hit’s rap comeback, covering videos, travel, housing, clothes, and studio moves after his release from prison. He reflects on seeing Big Hit share the stage with Kendrick Lamar at The Pop Out, gain support from Snoop Dogg, YG, and The Game, and build momentum with a No. 1 iTunes project.

But the story takes a painful turn as Hit-Boy details a new North Carolina legal case, a courtroom plea that helped secure probation, and his father’s decision to return to prison. The interview explores institutionalization, father-son trauma, hip-hop ambition, and the real cost of trying to change someone’s life.
