Hit-Boy is on a run.
After executive producing Nas’ King’s Disease album released Friday (August 20) and announcing he’ll also be EPing Big Sean’s Detroit 2 with Kanye West, Hit-Boy provides production alongside G. Ry on Conway The Machine‘s new single. Alongside DeJ Loaf, the Griselda rapper was proud to let people know who’s on the beat on “Fear of GOD.”
“Ayy, my nigga Hit-Boy did the production/Rollie my wrist and I bust it/Listen, we built the whole Griselda house with our own hands, we did it from nothin/I mean, West owned the land, but I did the construction,” he raps.
The track is set to live on his recently-announced album, From King To A GOD. Apart from DeJ and Method Man, who appears on the previously-released “Lemon,” Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Freddie Gibbs, Method Man, Havoc and Lloyd Banks will also appear on the album.
When HipHopDX spoke to Hit-Boy in the fall, he explained how he’s able to craft hits for so many people.

“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.”

Wack as fuck please everyone hate this song so we never get an aitotuned chorus on a griselda song again
U must be smokin crack u lil fuck, this right here slappp yo mama in the asshole. Con is the truth he went hammmm on that HitBoy beat fuck is u talkin about. Go listenin 2 Lil Pump and Snitch9 lol.
That’s cute bro, you heard griselda and now you’re all about “real hip hop”. this sound is more diluted and commercial than the last ten projects they’ve put out, all of which I heard and fucked with. My favorite rappers are Cormega and Prodigy, stop sucking dick and admit this shit is poppier than their usual sound, I know more rap than you and it’s not even close
Gotta sell records still my G even your top two understood that.
^^^Aaand this is exactly why I don’t take “real hip hop” fans seriously.
He can’t fuck with Benny ?
Great two minutes of a song but after that it turns to shit. I thought I heard a Nautilus melody, nicely done Hit-Boy
Conway goes in a different lane with a track that sets his album up well with a producer who might i add just resurrected Nas on rebirth shit…and motherfuckers hatin because it ain’t “real hip hop”? This shit won’t even sniff commercial and niggas are mad because its not the original sound and sounds pop and blah blah blah…how bout respect the craft and the lyricism dude puts out every project…dude WAY better than your favorite artist and its not even close…niggas hate what they CANT do and miss me with the bullshit because I won’t see it
Hit Boy is taking over the production game for 2020. Some rappers and producers sat on the sideline while Hit Boy is out here dropping heat. If you snooze you lose.
