Hit-Boy has opened up about the unexpected turn of events that led a beat he created for Big Sean and J. Cole to end up in the hands of Drake and Justin Bieber for their smash hit “Right Here.” This revelation came to light in a recent Instagram post where the renowned producer shared a video from the Drizzy and JB studio session that birthed the popular 2012 track. According to Hit-Boy, the beat was originally intended for a Big Sean and J. Cole collaboration titled “24k of Gold” from Sean’s Detroit mixtape. However, in a twist of fate, the beat found its way to Drake and Bieber, thanks to a generous gesture from Big Sean who recognized the opportunity for Hit-Boy to shine. Hit-Boy expressed his gratitude to Sean for the decision and also gave props to producer Key Wane for his work on the original ’24k of Gold’ joint.
Experiencing a wave of nostalgia, Hit-Boy reminisced on the fateful moment, stating, ‘I never even knew they caught a vibe to the second beat playing at the end I made that too. Time flies.’ In a show of camaraderie, the producer praised Big Sean for his solidarity and hailed Drake as a legendary figure in the music industry.
In a separate development, Hit-Boy shared behind-the-scenes footage of himself and Kirk Franklin in the studio, prompting an amusing anecdote from Wiz Khalifa. A video posted by Hit-Boy on Instagram showcased Franklin adding his touch to a drumbeat likely produced by the hitmaker, prompting Wiz to joke about their studio session after a smoking session.
