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 KZread 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.
Hitboy a real one 🔥🔥🔥

nah this is crazy , i legitimately typed “Hit-Boy Producer Grind” yesterday and nothing came up and I was like :/. but now i’m like 😮🤠🔥😂
I never knew how many hits Hit-Boy had! 🔥
Thanks to HitBoy for this and thanks to producer grind for really killing it lately.
This gotta be the most humblest and honest interview I've seen from a producer. Salute💯💯
Yall have been killing these. This was a BANGER. Fast, Clean, Simple, and Effective. Full of Gems. Keep it up! any SXSW Meet Ups????
"...Rookie of The Year Every Year." The thought behind that TB Digital line has 200 IQ written all over it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 No need to break it down, but damn just the thought of being constantly hungry to learn and improve amid having huge success is powerful!!! 💪🏿💪🏿 Big ups to hit forever dishing out the gospel and what many might consider the secret sauce (and keep it within instead of sharing it with the community aspiring for greatness)! Lastly, great work Team PG!
getting Hit-Boy the LEGEND is major! Can't wait to see who pops out next.
Congrats guys. Glad to see all this top producers coming to the podcast to share gems. Keep em coming :)

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. ✌🏽
Love Love LOVE the fact they asked TRUE producer questions from a technical standpoint. Great interview!💯

@Kr∑th He did, just not in depth. He told u what he uses but as far as how he uses them he didnt. Still, most interviewers don't ask those types of questions and I wouldn't expect him to cough up all his secrets then others will start sounding like him.
Getting Hit-Boy is huge. Dope interview guys
Producer grind never misses, best producer podcast ever
This is my favorite Producergrind interview 💎💎💎🎧🎧
Great ass interview bro, you actually ask questions we care about. You get great responses. Well done
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!!

At this pound i think hitboy on top of all producers like he has song you dont even imagine
22:21 I remember that, one of the first to do that shit. That Rich Boy era
love how he discussed Polow and The Clutch
Just an observation and suggestion... It might have been super dope to have Hit-Boy sit on the couch TB is sitting on. That way Hit-Boy would have line of sight to both TB & Mimi ( I hope I got her name correct) without having to turn his head... with that said, keep up the amazing work!!!
