Hit-Boy's rise to the top of the game didn't happen overnight and over the summer, cameras from Jay Z's Life + Times followed Hit-Boy and his crew around to put together a mini-documentary. The footage shows Hit performing and HS87 performing at "Made In America," the super-producer returning back home to give viewers a look at his roots, and an inside look at his relationship with his father. Hit has been grinding his whole life and this clip captures his ascent perfectly.
