The Game, Hit-Boy & Big Hit Drop Surprise Mixtape “Paisley Dreams”: Stream

by

Happy New Year to all, and to welcome us into 2024, we have The Game and Big Hit’s new collaborative nine-track mixtape Paisley Dreams, produced by the latter’s son, the one and only Hit-Boy. Moreover, this new project follows the father-son duo’s recent collaborative album, which marks Big Hit’s debut full-length release. Not only that, but this new record was the product of an impromptu studio session which turned into a sharp and focused process. It released right on New Year’s Day 2024, and it’s a no-frills collection of hardened boom-bap and G-funk, soulful chops, vividly confident and boisterous bars, and excellent chemistry between its MCs. These artists also took to social media to share some revelations about Paisley Dreams.

“I pulled on @hitboy & @bighit 3 days ago to do 1 song,” The Game expressed on Instagram. “Stayed a few hours & ended up doing a 9 song tape that night. I’m not here to ask you to stream it or download it. I’m just a man, telling his fans a story about last night & the night before.” “The Game pulled up on me and Big Hit 4 days ago,” Hit-Boy wrote on his IG post about the release. “and i was thinking maybe we ask him to get on the ‘Bang Freestyle’ remix or something at MOST. But instead he locked in with us for the rest of the night and we made a 9 song album.” This follows an incredibly prolific run for the producer in 2023, as he dropped multiple albums including the finale of his Nas run, Magic 3.

Big Hit, Hit-Boy & Benny The Butcher Are “Speaking In Codes” On Fiery New Song

by

Big Hit just dropped his debut album The Truth Is In My Eyes, a 17-track offering executive-produced by his son, Hit-Boy. Moreover, it’s a lavish, hardened, compelling, and above all engaging project with a lot of heart, grit, and palpable emotion behind it. Of course, it’s also a stellar hip-hop offering with biting lyricism, some clever wordplay, and honest, vulnerable reflections on many tough topics. As far as highlights, though, one particular track really captured our ear and holds some of the catchiest and most impactful material. Furthermore, Hit seeks assistance from none other than Benny The Butcher on the track “Speaking In Codes.”

Both of them have dexterous and hard-hitting verses about street life, the escape from it, and their place within the rap game. In addition, the beat that they ride over has a lot of classic rap embellishments to it, like the crisp, mid-temp, yet soulfully trap-inspired drums, plus some gorgeous instrumental samples like shimmering keys. However, we can’t talk about The Truth Is In My Eyes without mentioning some other guests on here. Snoop Dogg offers Big Hit some words of advice on “Shoppin’ Monster,” and others include The Alchemist, Mozzy, and Jay Worthy. But what makes “Speaking In Codes” so special is just how relentless each MC is on here, and that makes it a thrilling ride from start to finish.

Meanwhile, the chemistry between Hit and Benny The Butcher here is unsurprising. After all, the latter and the former’s son have worked a lot together in the past, and they even have a lot more work together coming soon on the Griselda affiliate’s upcoming new album, Everybody Can’t Go. What’s more is that the father-son duo’s already put out great work in the past, so to see that skill here is also a treat. If you want to check out “Speaking In Codes” or this new album as a whole, you can find it on Big Hit’s website and Bandcamp page here. Also, check out some standout bars from this cut down below. As always, check back in with HNHH for more amazing music releases around the clock.

Quotable Lyrics
I’m speaking in codes without moving my lips,
I speak in tongues and cross without moving them bricks,
Yeah, you know it’s lick, well, now I had to break it down,
Wavin’ at the border patrol, crackin’ a smile
