While VibeRotation 19 expands and diversifies, "Go All Night"-- a new song from Hit-Boy featuring Travis $cott-- reminds us the Fontana, CA native is the best producer in the game. Hit-Boy has a unique sound and it is the definition of consistent. In a beat breakdown video for Beyoncé's "***Flawless" on YouTube he calls it the "Hit-Boy bounce" (believe me when you hear it your body does literally that). Hit made it his signature during his G.O.O.D. music days with Kanye and Jay Z on tracks like the famous "Ni**as in Paris". Range, versatility, and added continuity is essential in the music industry, Hit-Boy fused his bounce with New York's boom-bap style Joey Bada$$ masters in their joint song "Belly Of The Beast". Exposure to the heavyweights he has befriended only produces more success and expansion, his Hits Since '87 squad will be the first to tell you. Hit-Boy has also stepped in front of the mic proving he can rap and perfect his production craft, using HS87's debut album We The Plug and work with rap contemporaries Audio Push as prime evidence. Today he delivers his iconic sound again, accompanied by partner in crime Travis $cott, in celebration of his 28th birthday. Listen for the duo's chemistry as Hit-Boy explained to The Fader, "Trav and I have a crazy creative energy together. That's why it feels like a party." Enjoy "Go All Night" below, Happy Birthday!

Audio Push featuring OG Maco - Heavy (Produced by Hit-Boy x Ducko Mcfli x Hazebanga) /
OG Maco and Hit-Boy have been on a tear as of late; Maco with his 15 track self-titled EP and Breathe, both coming seemingly simultaneously, and Hit-Boy comes off the cusp of his production work from Nicki Minaj's "Feeling Myself" featuring Beyoncé. They both have done it again as they are featured on the HS87 duo, Audio Push's new track "Heavy". In case the OG Maco and Hit-Boy names weren't enough to set you over the edge, Audio Push also attached this note on SoundCloud accompanying the song, "The best thing since grits and eggs... Album on the way!" Whether "Heavy" is featured on the new album or not remains to be seen, but it is available for a listen below.
