Hit-Boy has been on an impressive run this year and he’s proudly patting himself on the back for it.
On Friday (October 30), the platinum-selling producer laid claim to being the most versatile among his peers this year. He made sure to show love while doing so, though.
“I don’t like being controversial and I love all my producer homies but I came wit the most styles in 2020,” he wrote. “Look it up.”
In addition to executive producing full albums for Nas (August’s King’s Disease) and Big Sean (September’s Detroit 2), Hit-Boy has provided production for Jay Electronica, JAY-Z, Tinashe, Conway The Machine, DeJ Loaf, Mick Jenkins and more. He also produced Benny The Butcher‘s highly-anticipated Burden of Proof album in its entirety, and he’s got something in the works with Curren$y.
Most recently, Hit-Boy produced Freddie Gibbs’ new single with Big Sean, “4 Thangs.”

Talking to HipHopDX last fall, the talented producer offered some insight into how he has such range.
“It’s all about balance, having a sound that anyone can feel and relate to,” he told DX. “Working with so many artists at once keeps me on my toes and locked into what’s next. Chalice is the spot, a very creative place. You feel like it’s time to work when you pull up here.”

He’s right. No one else out more diverse content.
Facts
Hitboy?? gtfoh this overrated ass producer. he like the Jay E of producing., just over hyped bullshit. foh
You probably the type listening to Wheezy beats (or rather loops) that consist of the same drums each time.
Couldn’t agree more. I have tried to like the new Nas and Benny the butcher albums, I even checked the new Freddie Gibbs track but the production just doesn’t match their flows. I think he over produces and should go back to basics
You know nothing about flows nor beats! Shut the F up idiot!!!
Can forget the fire Dom Kennedy he produced.
At first I thought it was cap… but I’d definitely give him producer of the year.
Hit Boy POTY for 2020. I had Alchemist as the frontrunner but Hit has been dropping serious heat back to back.
Dude killed Nas’s album! That joint is on rotation daily. Nas is the Greatest Rapper of All Time , period! Since 1991…. simply amazing!
The I.E.’s own! Keep bangin’ them hits out kid.
