The name Hit-Boy has been popping up a lot in the world of hip hop lately. The rapper/producer rose to fame by working with artists like Jay-Z. His track “Drop The World” was picked up by Lil Wayne (featuring Eminem), which lead to the number one record off Jay/Ye’s “Watch The Throne” album, “N----- In Paris”.

He’s also the mastermind behind your soon-to-be-new-favorite-song, “Clique” – featuring Jay, Kanye and Big Sean. It will be featured on the upcoming G.O.O.D. Music album “Cruel Summer”, and of course, will be in high rotation on Hot!
