Episode Description from the Publisher

The homie Hit-Boy pulled up to Big Bro! We go way back, so we tapped into those early days when we were both just trying to make a name for ourselves and find our place in the game. We traded studio stories about creating platinum records with Beyoncé, Nas, Jay-Z, and Ye, and got into the lore behind the classic hit "Ni**as in Paris." We also talked about the song Jay passed on that eventually found its way onto 808s & Heartbreak.
