by Daryl Nelson

Nas and Hit-Boy have been impressing legions of Hip Hop heads with their joint projects, King's Disease, King's Disease II, King's Disease III, and Magic.

Hit talked about the chemistry that he has with Nas during an interview with ProducerGrind and broke down how they're able to make such solid music together.

“When I work with Nas, it’ll literally just be me and him in there; I’m doing the beats, he’s doing the rhymes,” he explained. “And then a lot of times when you work with younger artists, they gon’ pull up with five, six, seven, maybe 10 n*ggas with ’em, and it’s like, I’m really here to do my job ... That’s why I feel like me and Nas can flow like this because most of the time, it’s just us in the studio.”

“It ain’t no bunch of outside opinions and people throwing off the zone we in, throwing off the vibe," Hit-Boy continued. "It’s just like, bro, we gon’ do what we feel, what’s really inspiring us. If we not looking at each other and having that face like, ‘Oh, this sh*t hard’ then we gotta go back to the drawing board, and we keep that as the base of everything.”
