The Manager’s Playbook 034: Hit-Boy & Nima Nasseri - Breaking Free from an 18-Year Publishing Deal & Building an Independent Empire

1 tim 35 min•13 augusti 2025

Grammy-winning producer Hit-Boy opens up about escaping an 18-year publishing deal, one of the most restrictive contracts in music, and the lessons learned along the way. He shares the mental toll of being trapped in outdated MDRC terms, how Jay-Z and Roc Nation helped him break free, and the creative freedom that’s fueled his most prolific run yet.

Alongside his manager, Nima Nasseri, Hit-Boy reveals how they’ve built a self-contained creative ecosystem spanning music, film, brand partnerships, and multiple Grammy-winning projects. They talk ownership, autonomy, the role of AI and social media in today’s music industry, and how to balance relentless output with family and mental health.

This is a blueprint for building a career on your own terms.

Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
