Hit-Boy Dubs Himself and Nas 'The New Gang Starr'

Hit-Boy is intent on keeping his winning streak going strong as he heads into 2022. He was spotted hanging out with DJ Premier in Yonker, New York, on Wednesday night (February 2), where he teased more collaborations between the two super producers on the way later this year. 

“You already know who this guy is, legendary status. ‘Wave Gods’ man, 2022,” Hit-Boy teased in the clip.

The two beatmakers previously worked together on Nas’ most recent studio album, Magic on the track “Wave Gods” alongside A$AP Rocky, and also were co-producers on The Game and Kanye West’s “Eazy” reunion collaboration. 

Hit-Boy dubbed himself and Nas as “the new Gang Starr” in the comment section while adding other lyrics from “Wave Gods.”

The Grammy Award-winning producer has been busy at work, as he’s been seen in the studio with the likes of Kanye West, who he buried the hatchet with, in addition to cooking up with the soon-to-be-father A$AP Rocky, The Game, Curren$y, and more.

According to The Game, his forthcoming Drillmatic will cement himself and Hit-Boy as hip-hop-’s next lethal rapper-producer duo, comparable to legendary tag-teams such as Nas and DJ Premier, JAY-Z, and Just Blaze, and DMX and Swizz Beatz.

“Nas & Premo, Swizz & X, Hov & Just Blaze, Game & Hit…….. after this album. #DRILLMATIC,” he declared on Instagram while sharing photos of him and the HS87 hitmaker hard at work in the studio.
