Hit-Boy says he's proud to have teamed up with his father, Big Hit, for his new album, "The Truth is in My Eyes."

Hit-Boy shared an emotionally candid post on Instagram, Saturday, celebrating the release of his collaborative project with his father, Big Hit, titled, The Truth is in My Eyes. In doing so, he reflected on growing up with the dream of being a musician.

“Being in elementary school telling people me and my dad were gonna make music together one day when he’s back out on the streets,” he captioned an Instagram post. “Over the years we have had points where he touched down for a second maybe a few months MAX and we started recording and making some progress. Then he’d let the streets win and he’d end up right back in the cell for years at a time."

He continued: “Big Hit has spent about 30 years of his life on the inside and i still never looked at him at anything other than my dad he’s himself at all times and it’s no cut on how he move love it or hate it. this time feels different for me personally im a lot more mature and i know who i am so as a man i can hear him out and also be a leader for him in my own right. It’s alot of pressure but it’s also therapy for both us i would say. 9pm pst tonight we’re dropping his DEBUT album The Truth Is In My Eyes and i couldn’t be more proud of this moment. Most people wait til they family die to honor them in this way but we doing right here rn while we ALIVE.” Check out the full post below.
