Missing quite a lot

Am I missing something? There's no mention of his production of the entire King's Disease, King's Disease II, Burden of Proof etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christiaanjmeyer (talk • contribs) 15:03, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

hit boy or hollis

this article generally starts out by calling him Hollis but about halfway through, gives up, and just calls him Hit-Boy. I'm new to the Wikipedia game, should this be fixed? 2600:1005:B0CB:E717:D0BB:E334:698C:FA47 (talk) 23:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit request: 2024–2025 career updates and publishing deal exit

Hello editors, Disclosure: I have a connection to the subject and am submitting this as an edit request rather than editing directly, per WP:COI. The article is missing significant well-documented developments from 2024 and 2025. I've listed the proposed additions below, each with reliable secondary sources. Please feel free to reword for tone or trim as needed.

1. Publishing deal exit (2025) — add to Career section

Proposed addition: In July 2025, Hit-Boy publicly announced that he had been released from an 18-year publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group, which he had signed at age 19. He credited Jay-Z and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez with negotiating his exit from the contract, which he described as having lacked a defined end date. He marked the occasion by releasing "What's the Deal?", his first single as a fully independent artist, via Surf Club Inc.

2. 2024 collaborative work — add to Career section

Proposed addition: Throughout 2024, Hit-Boy continued an extended creative partnership with The Alchemist, releasing the EP THEODORE & ANDRE and the joint album Black & Whites with his father Big Hit. The pair also split production duties on Benny the Butcher's Def Jam debut, Everybody Can't Go. He also produced LaRussell's Rent Due (February 2024) and continued the collaboration into 2025's RENT PAID.

3. 2025 releases — add to Career section

Proposed addition: In 2025, Hit-Boy released the joint albums High-Class Wiggler and Yeast Talkin' with rapper Spank Nitti James via Surf Club Inc. In October 2025, he released GOLDFISH, a 15-track collaborative album with The Alchemist on which both producers handle production and rapping duties. The project featured guest appearances from Havoc, Conway the Machine, Boldy James, Jay Worthy, and Big Hit. The album was accompanied by a short film of the same name, directed by Abteen Bagheri, in which Hit-Boy and The Alchemist star alongside Danny Trejo, Rory Culkin, Simon Rex, Blake Anderson, and Lefty Gunplay. The film follows a group of hitmen posing as carpet cleaners attempting to leave a life of crime, and premiered publicly at ComplexCon Las Vegas following private screenings in New York and Los Angeles. The album was released via Surf Club Inc., ALC, and EMPIRE.

4. Personal life expansion

Proposed addition (after the existing sentence about his son): Hit-Boy's father, the rapper Big Hit, was released from prison in May 2023 after a nine-year incarceration. The two have since collaborated extensively, with Big Hit appearing on Hit-Boy's albums SURF OR DROWN Vol. 2 (2023) and Black & Whites (2024), as well as on the executive-produced project The Truth Is In My Eyes (2023), Big Hit's debut solo album. Source: Already partially supported by the existing footnote 24 (The Shade Room interview) in the article. Thank you for considering these updates.
