Producer Hit-Boy and his father, Big Hit, have joined forces on a new song titled “Wake Your Game Up,” marking a collaboration with significant emotional weight. Recently released from prison, Big Hit showcases his rapping skills alongside his son in a powerful display of generational talent and resilience.
In the song, Big Hit takes the lead with his verse, followed by Hit-Boy, demonstrating their shared passion for music and the creative bond they’ve cultivated. The accompanying music video is significant, as it features the father-son duo and Hit-Boy’s son, forming a remarkable three generations of musical talent in one visual masterpiece.
While Big Hit served his time behind bars, the Fontana, CA native’s career soared as a well-respected producer, working with esteemed artists such as Nas, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, The Game, and Jay-Z. His consistent success and undeniable talent have solidified his position in the music industry.
