Making Platinum Hits with Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar & Bey: Kid Cudi & Hit-Boy Trade Classic Studio Stories

The homie Hit-Boy pulled up to Big Bro! We go way back, so we tapped into those early days when we were both just trying to make a name for ourselves and find our place in the game.

We traded studio stories about creating platinum records with Beyoncé, Nas, Jay-Z, and Ye, and got into the lore behind the classic hit "Ni**as in Paris." We also talked about the song Jay passed on that eventually found its way onto 808s & Heartbreak. And make sure you check out my guy’s latest project, Success Is a Dirty Word, streaming everywhere you listen to music.
