Hit-Boy - Part 1

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by ⁠⁠Hit-Boy⁠⁠.

Hit-Boy has been the producer behind many immortal songs, straddling the worlds of hip-hop, R&B, pop, and beyond. His career began with an ⁠early placement⁠ on Lil Wayne’s Rebirth and quickly gained momentum when he produced “⁠Ni**as in Paris⁠,” a defining moment from 2011’s Watch the Throne.

In the newest episode, Hit-Boy joins Joel Madden for a raw and revealing conversation about legacy, therapy, fatherhood, and finally reclaiming his power after nearly two decades in the industry.

From producing hits for Jay-Z, Nas, and Travis Scott to carving out his own lane as a solo artist, Hit-Boy opens up about the pain, purpose, and persistence behind the music.
