Hit-Boy, the acclaimed producer and artist, is passing on his musical legacy to the next generation, as evidenced by his four-year-old son, affectionately known as C3. Just after celebrating his fourth birthday, C3 embarked on his own musical journey, with his family and young friends gathering to shoot a music video for his debut solo performance. Hit-Boy proudly shared glimpses of the video shoot, indicating that the musical talent runs deep in their family.
This isn’t the first time C3 has made his mark in the music industry. At just two years old, his voice graced the track “Once A Man, Twice A Child” from Hit-Boy and Nas’ collaborative album, “Kings Disease III,” showcasing his early involvement in his father’s projects.
Hit-Boy’s father, known as Big Hit, also shares the family’s musical genes. In a significant collaboration late last year, Hit-Boy and Big Hit released their joint effort, “The Truth Is In My Eyes.” Hit-Boy reflected on the profound significance of this collaboration, recalling childhood dreams of making music with his father. Despite challenges and setbacks, including Big Hit’s time spent incarcerated, the duo persevered, culminating in the release of their debut album together.
In an Instagram post, Hit-Boy expressed the personal growth and maturity he experienced throughout the journey, emphasizing the importance of their collaboration as both a familial bond and a form of therapy. He acknowledged the pressures and complexities involved but underscored the pride and honor he felt in sharing this moment with his father while they’re both alive.
“The Truth Is In My Eyes,” Big Hit’s debut album, serves as a testament to their enduring bond and shared passion for music. Hit-Boy’s celebration of their collaboration while they’re both alive speaks volumes about the depth of their relationship and the significance of honoring family ties in the present moment.
As C3 takes his first steps into the spotlight and Hit-Boy and Big Hit continue to make music together, their family legacy in the music industry remains vibrant and promising. With each new generation adding its unique touch to the musical heritage passed down through the Hit-Boy lineage, the future looks bright for this talented family.
