Hit-Boy and Musiq Soulchild Tease R&B Collab Album
Written by SOURCE on January 7, 2023
Hit-Boy is continuing his massive run with Musiq Soulchild.
The producer confirmed the news online, tweeting, “R&B Hit-Boy otw” in response to an excited fan.
Musiq Soulchild told Bill Bellamy’s Top Billin’ podcast that the joint project will be called Victims & Villains and might release as early as February.
He shared that though they’ve only been working on it for a few months, the album is already in the “beginning stages of mixing” and said Hit-Boy is a “GOAT of our time,” per HipHopDX
He also explained the significance of the title: “[It] is designed to address the topic of the challenges we all deal with in relationships, but I’m approaching it from a slightly different angle than I used to,” Musiq Soulchild said. “It’s more abstract, at the same time direct.” He continued, “A lot of people don’t realize which one they are; they think they’re one when they’re the other.”
The pair have worked together before, on Kanye West’s 2010 holiday song “Christmas in Harlem” and Audio Push’s 2016 track “Praise You.”
