An artist’s ability to perform well on a track can always make or break how well it’s received, but it’s the inevitable truth that producers are playing a bigger part in the music industry. Besides the obvious yet crucial role to craft beats and unique sounds (for the good producers at least, as some push the same thing around repeatedly… looking at you Lex Luger) producers that truly love what they do try to take it upon themselves to change the future of music with the canvas they provide to an artist. Other times, producers step from behind the boards, away from the sidelines and into the spotlight with the mic hoping they can take the world by storm.
Some have been more successful with it than others, but individuals like Kanye West truly live up to their title of “artist” with what they bring to the game, proving that the talent can come from anywhere. This holds true as time goes on and as producers make the jump to lyricist, new deals are signed. Enter Hit-Boy, the young and hungry producer who is signed to West’s label G.O.O.D.. Music. His producing credits speak for him, claiming the responsibility for hits such as Lil Wayne‘s “Drop The World” featuring Eminem, Pusha T‘s “My God”, the infectious “N*ggas In Paris” and more. Now Hit-Boy seems to have waited for what he believes is his opportunity to shine, releasing what he calls a “free album” to the net but the question is, will HitStory prove that Hit-Boy has a place as a rapper as well as producer?
