June 16, 2023 (Los Angeles, CA) – Kicking off Father’s Day Weekend, GRAMMY Award-winning producer/recording artist Hit-Boy teams up with his dad Big Hit to release SURF OR DROWN 2 – the sequel to SURF OR DROWN, which was released three months ago. Listen HERE via Surf Club. SURF OR DROWN 2 includes features from fellow trailblazing artists Big Sean and Dom Kennedy, as well as up-and-comer Garren.
Last month, Big Hit was released from prison after serving a 9-year sentence. He celebrated by going to the studio and making music with his son. SURF OR DROWN 2 is a precursor to Big Hit’s solo album produced by Hit-Boy.
SURF OR DROWN 2 adds to Hit’s busy slate of releases so far in 2023, which includes March’s Victim and Villains (with Musiq Soulchild), and the first installment of his dynamic series. Not to mention, he executive-produced Belly’s new album Mumble Rap 2 that dropped last month (May 19), and Benny the Butcher’s highly-anticipated Everybody Can’t Go – arriving August 11.
Previously, Hit-Boy broke the news of SOD2’s arrival on Twitter while simultaneously introducing the pre-released single “Reckless & Ratchet” with his dad, Big Hit – who’s also featured on the tracklist cover. The raunchy and explosive offering arrived alongside a NSFW visual that gives new meaning to the song title. Watch HERE.
The 10x Grammy-nominated and 3X Grammy-winning multihyphenate continues to push the culture forward in a way that only the man born Chauncey Hollis knows how. Whether he’s rapping over his own beats, or lacing his contemporaries with next level instrumentals, Hit-Boy has cemented his position as one of the most sought-after collaborators of this generation. Hit-Boy is on a tear making tons of music for himself and his father, all while balancing being a full time father to his son C3, and lacing the best artists in the industry with beats and composing entire albums for multiple artists a year.
