Hit-Boy has revealed that a beat he originally made for a Big Sean and J. Cole collaboration ended up transferring over to Drake and Justin Bieber for their hit single “Right Here.”
Taking to Instagram on Thursday (March 21), the All-Star producer shared a video from the Drizzy and JB session that created the aforementioned 2012 song, explaining how the track was initially meant to be on the “24k of Gold” cut from Sean’s Detroit mixtape.
“crazy story for throwback thursday,” he began. “this is a clip of justin bieber and drake working on a beat i produced for their song ‘right here.’ the funny thing is big sean and j cole had a song called ’24k of gold’ over the same beat and i had to choose who to give the beat to. that was TOUGH but sean being the solid dude he is told me to run it with bieber and drake cuz he knew it was a a1 look for me.
“salute to him for that ! i never even knew they caught a vibe to the second beat playing at the end i made that too. time flies.”
In the comments, he added a shout out to fellow producer Key Wane, writing: “shout to bro @keywane for flipping the 24k of gold joint and goin crzy on it.”
Additionally, he also noted that Big Sean is “solid as they come” and Drake is “legendary.”
In other news, Hit-Boy recently shared footage of him and Kirk Franklin inside the studio, about which Wiz Khalifa revealed a funny detail soon after.
The beatmaker posted a video to Instagram earlier this month that showed Franklin playing keys over a drumbeat, presumably produced by Hit-Boy.
Hit captioned the video: “me and @kirkfranklin goin in.”
A little later, he added: “ghetto gospel.”
Not long after, Wiz jumped into the comments as well and added: “Damn, Right after we smoked all that weed in there.”
The producer responded to with multiple tears-of-joy and smoke emojis.
Other musicians with less first-hand experience with getting high jumped in the comments as well.
Ab-Soul praised the snippet with a church emoji, whereas Lecrae expressed that he wanted some of the results for himself.
“Y’all go ahead and cook something up for the kid,” he wrote. “[O]r we we can do that Hitboy/Crae Ghetto Gospel album.”
Bassist Brady Watt quickly offered to add his playing to the track, writing: “Lemme throw the bass on that Bro!!!”
Songwriter and artist Quentin Miller also responded to the video with multiple fire emojis, as did producer BoogzDaBeast.
