Hit-Boy's father went to the studio with his son straight after getting out of prison. The iconic producer shared a video of the moment on Instagram, Saturday. Hit-Boy's father has worked as an artist in his own right, under the name, Big Hit.

“Big Hit Free. knocked down 9 years and came straight to the stu,” Hit-Boy wrote in the video of his father. Big Hit was sentenced to twelve years and four months in prison following a hit-and-run accident in Los Angeles that left several people seriously injured. He was arrested in Illinois in 2014 during a traffic stop when officers saw he had an outstanding warrant in California.

It's unclear whether Hit-Boy and Big Hit plan on releasing any music together. However, Hit-Boy is gearing up for the release of a new collaborative album with Benny The Butcher. The rapper recently confirmed that he'll be dropping Everybody Can’t Go on August 11. During an interview with DTLR Radio, last month, Benny revealed the details. “Man, this new project, I’m not gon lie this is the first time I even announced this anywhere because this my first interview,” he said. “You know, August 11, Everybody Can’t Go. Everybody Can’t Go, that’s the first time I announced the date publicly because they just told me like three days ago.”

Hit-Boy's collaborative albums have been quite successful in recent years. In 2021, he took home the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album alongside Nas for their project, King's Disease. He also was involved in the making of Beyoncé's album, Renaissance. Everybody Can’t Go also won't be the first time that Hit-Boy and Benny have teamed up. They previously worked together on Burden of Proof in 2020. That project featured collaborations with Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Dom Kennedy, and more.
