Hit-Boy’s prolific 2023 carries on. It’s not even halfway through the year and the artist/producer already has dozens of songs and numerous albums under his belt. This new one is surely the most important and personal yet. SURF OR DROWN Vol. 2 is named like a sequel to his album SURF OR DROWN earlier this year but there’s one big difference. Vol. 2 is a full-length collaboration with Hit-Boy’s own father Big Hit. The album features 10 songs and their 10 instrumental versions. It also sports features from Big Sean, Dom Kennedy, and Garren.
The album was led off by the single “Reckless & Ratchet,” an infectious summer jam. It was made with Hit-Boy’s father just after he was released from a nine-year stint in prison. SURF OR DROWN VOL. 2 follows its predecessor which dropped in March. The album saw Hit-Boy teaming up with a number of collaborators across its 21 tracks. Included in the feature list are The Alchemist, Curren$y, James Faultenroy, Nas, Dom Kennedy, and many more.
Hit-Boy And Big-Hit Team Up
In a recent podcast appearance, Hit-Boy reminisced on working with Nipsey Hussle before his death. He also revealed he has material with the late rapper that is currently unreleased. Hit-Boy has also been subject to an ongoing beef with fellow producer Hitmaka. Both producers have been pulling out receipts of their work in back and forth Instagram posts.
Last month as soon as Big Hit was released from prison, he went directly to the studio. Clearly, the pair got to work quickly as they’ve just dropped an entire album together.
