Hit-Boy opens up about the nightmare publishing deal he signed as a teenager with UMG, calling it one of the worst deals lawyers had ever seen.

Despite producing hits and achieving success, Hit-Boy admits he couldn’t fully enjoy it because of the unfair contract. He reveals how Jay-Z and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez stepped in to help him break free, negotiating a path out of the deal and giving him back his freedom in 2021.

Hit-Boy recalls the emotional moment he thanked Jay-Z in person after finally being released, describing Hov as a true big brother figure in the industry. From producing on Watch The Throne to battling label politics, this is one of the most honest looks at how Roc Nation protects its artists and why Jay-Z’s influence goes beyond music.
