Hit-Boy has released a handful of well-received singles this year, including “Corsa” by Dom Kennedy, “Scholar” with Devin Morrison and 24Hrs, and “Fireproof,” which premiered exclusively earlier this summer. This past weekend, the Pasadena-born producer and artist released his latest single, “Tony Fontana III.” Curren$y contributed an assist and the song was produced by EightSix Productions.
In addition to releasing the single, the Grammy award-winning hitmaker shared a photo on Instagram indicating that there will be a full joint album between him and CurrenSy. “Not [gon’] lie. It may just be that Spitta and Hit-Boy’s upcoming album can save the universe,” read the tweet that accompanied his post.
As a result of his busy schedule behind the boards this year, Hit-Boy has collaborated on several projects, including Bulletproof Soul featuring Pacman Da Gunman and HITGIRL alongside Dreezy. Moreover, he produced “Thique” on Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE album, which he later revealed that he had been keeping for nearly eight years. Together with Nas, he released the Magic album in 2021, and also teamed up with Big Sean to release the What You Expect EP the following year.
The producer of “Feeling Myself” recently discussed why he is more determined than ever before to personalize his work. “It has been common for people to play my music at events and in clubs, and they seem to love it, so I would like to implement my own unique version of performing the music that I have created, rather than just observing it from the outside,” he said. “For my compositions, as well as my performances, I would like to keep the music organic and natural in nature since I am discussing things that are happening in my life, from my son to my family.”
A new track by HotBlock Jmoe titled “9 X Outta 10” has been released over the weekend. Tory Lanez contributed to the track’s production. It features the duo drinking, watching beautiful women, and parking luxury cars in front of an elegant mansion backed by Legit Looks. With regards to the growing pains that come with success, Jmoe begins the song by addressing them:
A recent interview with Jmoe revealed that he felt that “9 X Outta 10” was about expressing himself. “Embracing my brand-new lifestyle, while still eager to learn more”, he said. In order to be the hottest, I think long nights and consistency will go a long way, so if I keep working hard, I will be the hottest nine out of ten times.”
In 2022, the Illinois-born artist HotBlock Jmoe has released only two other singles, “Long Road” alongside G Herbo and “Song 1.” Sage The Mode was his last recording in 2021. Furthermore, last year, HotBlock Jmoe also treated fans to a variety of loose tracks, including “Damn Shame,” “What It Cost (Toosii Mix),” “Aladin,” “Vaccine Freestyle,” and “Discrete.” In addition to his own music, Jmoe has contributed to recent songs including “Fast” featuring DaTwinz, “What We Do” with Rioo Cheeny, and more.
