Hit-Boy: Pioneering a New Wave of Authentic Hip Hop With Big Hit and the Release of ‘Surf or Drown Vol. 2’

GRAMMY Award-winning producer/recording artist Hit-Boy teams up with his dad Big Hit to release SURF OR DROWN Vol. 2 – the sequel to SURF OR DROWN, which was released three months ago. Listen HERE via Surf Club. SURF OR DROWN Vol. 2 includes features from fellow trailblazing artists Big Sean and Dom Kennedy, as well as up-and-comer Garren.

Last month, Big Hit was released from prison after serving a 9-year sentence. He celebrated by going to the studio and making music with his son. SURF OR DROWN Vol. 2 is a precursor to Big Hit’s solo album produced by Hit-Boy. SURF OR DROWN Vol. 2 adds to Hit’s busy slate of releases so far in 2023, which includes March’s Victim and Villains (with Musiq Soulchild), and the first installment of his dynamic series. He executive-produced Belly’s new album Mumble Rap 2 which dropped last month (May 19), and Benny the Butcher’s highly-anticipated Everybody Can’t Go – arriving August 11. Previously, Hit-Boy broke the news of SOD2’s arrival on Twitter while simultaneously introducing the pre-released single “Reckless & Ratchet” with his dad, Big Hit – who’s also featured on the tracklist cover. The raunchy and explosive offering arrived alongside an NSFW visual that gives new meaning to the song title. Watch HERE.

The 10x Grammy-nominated and 3X Grammy-winning multihyphenate continues to push the culture forward in a way that only the man born Chauncey Hollis knows how. Whether he’s rapping over his own beats, or lacing his contemporaries with next level instrumentals, Hit-Boy has cemented his position as one of the most sought-after collaborators of this generation. Hit-Boy is on a tear making tons of music for himself and his father, all while balancing being a full time father to his son C3, and lacing the best artists in the industry with beats and composing entire albums for multiple artists a year.
