Hit-Boy began his career with placements for Lil Wayne (“Drop the World”) but his stock quickly rose when he produced “N****s in Paris” for JAY Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne album in 2011. He was also briefly aligned with West's G.O.O.D. Music and produced several songs on the crew's Cruel Summer LP in 2012, including “Clique” featuring Hov, ‘Ye and Big Sean. Hit's also produced for Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber and Rihanna, to name a few.
