Music fans often confuse the likes of Hit-Boy with Hitmaka because the two super-producers have similar aliases, they're around the same age, and the apex of their catalogs spans the same era in hip-hop. In an effort to distinguish himself from his California counterpart, Hitmaka recently went public with overtly honest commentary about why he believes he's had the more impressive career thus far. The Chicago native shared his thoughts on the comparisons during an interview with Hot 97 this week. He doubled down on his viewpoint when a TMZ camera operator caught up with him on Thursday.
Yesterday, hip-hop podcaster Rory Farrell uploaded footage of Hit-Boy addressing Hitmaka in a snippet from a rap verse where he uses wordplay to assert his dominance as a songwriter by giving vivid examples of why his legacy in the game reigns supreme over his peers. Not only does Hit-Boy mention Hitmaka, but he also drops some other big names such as Metro Boomin, Southside, and DJ Mustard.
