Hit-Boy has teamed up with Big Hit for a new collaboration — proving that even Hip Hop holds it down for the family when the going gets tough.
Fans of the “Victims and Villains” rapper know that his father, Big Hit (real name Chauncey Hollis Sr.), had a bit of a rap sheet. Back in 2014, he was arrested in Illinois during a traffic stop, when it was revealed that he had an outstanding warrant in California. The warrant stemmed from a hit-and-run accident in Los Angeles which left several people seriously injured, according to Patch. Ultimately, the trial court sentenced Big Hit to twelve years and four months in the state prison.

However, Hit-Boy took to Instagram on Saturday (May 6) to reveal that his father had been released and came straight to the studio to lay down some tracks with his son.
“Big Hit Free. knocked down 9 years and came straight to the stu,” he wrote.

It’s not clear whether there will be a father-and-son joint album, or whether Hit-Boy was simply happy to see his father released from jail.
But those who are looking forward to a Hit-Boy collaboration album can take comfort in knowing that the producer will be dropping Everybody Can’t Go with Benny The Butcher on August 11. This album, which will be exclusively produced by Hit-Boy, marks the Buffalo rapper’s Def Jam debut.
“Man, this new project, I’m not gon lie this is the first time I even announced this anywhere because this my first interview,” he said. “You know, August 11, Everybody Can’t Go. Everybody Can’t Go, that’s the first time I announced the date publicly because they just told me like three days ago.”
Benny and Hit previously teamed up for their Burden of Proof joint effort in 2020 and have been teasing more heat in the stash in recent months.
