Hit-Boy opens up to Vlad and Elliott Wilson about the long-running producer deal he says limited his earnings and leverage for nearly two decades. The Grammy-winning producer details signing as a teenager around Polow Da Don’s circle, working through lawyers tied to Doug Davis, Clive Davis and Jimmy Iovine, and later realizing the impact after producing Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “N****s in Paris.”

He breaks down how hits with Eminem, Lil Wayne, J.Lo, Flo Rida, Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky and Beyoncé still left him feeling trapped, comparing the frustration to comments around Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane. Hit-Boy also reflects on his Interscope imprint, Kanye requesting “Grindin’ My Whole Life,” and the sacrifices behind records like “Clique” and “Theraflu.”

The conversation expands into music-industry cautionary tales, including Sir Mix-A-Lot, “Baby Got Back,” DJ Punish and publishing ownership.
