    Hit boy definitely showed clarity of who he is as a music producer. One part that stood out to me was when he said he grab inspiration from any and everywhere. It could be records or RUclips if it’s hot it’s getting chopped. He didn’t say that, but as a beat maker/music producer myself I know exactly what he means. Salute good interview.

    I'm glad Hit Boy talked about the importance of expanding and exploring many styles and genres on here. Producer Grind tends to be overly biased towards FL Studio and a lot of Trap beats that sound the same. IMO Not to knock it but, I think it's important to use the reach and influence that you've built in the producer community to expand and push the evolution of music through your audience, respectfully. ✌🏽

    One thing I learned from this is that you don't need every plugin or hardware synth. Pharrell said it best when he was saying that it's okay to not know everything. That's what other producers and musicians are for. Collaboration!!! Collaboration!! Fuck with people who are in your realm!!
