Hit-Boy opens up about the complicated aftermath of his prolific run with Nas, revealing they haven’t spoken in three years despite creating six albums and around 80 songs together. In a candid exchange with Elliott Wilson and DJ Vlad, the Grammy-winning producer reflects on industry ego, fractured relationships, and why he doesn’t expect another Nas collaboration anytime soon.
The conversation also revisits the long-running debate over Nas’s production choices, including the viral “worst beat picker” criticism tied to Vlad and Wilson’s past commentary. Hit-Boy discusses producer respect, creative trust, and how their partnership helped reshape the narrative around Nas after classics like *Illmatic* and *It Was Written*.
He also touches on career highs including “N****s in Paris” with Jay-Z and Kanye West, the pressures of success, and why producers remain underrated in hip-hop culture.
