Hit-Boy | Exclusive Pre-Grammy's Interview

by Shei Marcelline

Chauncey Alexander Hollis Jr., famously known as Hit-Boy, is no stranger to the music industry. Hit-Boy has consecutively proven that his stage name is a fitting one, as the American record producer is a natural at producing hits that have secured him a total of 9 Grammy nominations thus far. From iconic tracks such as Kendrick Lamar’s “Backseat Freestyle” to A$AP Rocky’s “Goldie”, Hit-Boy certainly owns a reserved seat amongst the musical greats.

Flaunt had the privilege of interviewing Hit-Boy before the 64th annual Grammy’s ceremony commenced. The creative shared his styling process as well as the narrative behind wearing American designer Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God line for the evening. Check out the interview below.

This being your 9th nomination how different did this feel and stylistically what did you want to do differently?

This was my 9th nomination and the first year in 2 years I didn’t take home anything. It was def a great weekend regardless of the outcome. I felt like I wanted to up my game all around this Grammy weekend and from the feedback of the people I can see that I did.

What Inspired you to pick Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear Of God to wear for the Grammys?

I’ve known Jerry for over 10 years I was actually one of the first people copping FOG hand to hand. I met him in a grocery story parking lot once and bought some years ago.

I wanted to tap in and see if he had anything that could work and he did. He gave me some unreleased pieces and I put them together and made it work.

How important were accessories to your awards attire?

I had to come crazy with the accessories this year I been buying pieces all year pretty much. Rings. Bracelets. Chains I mixed it all up and it gave me the pop I needed with the black suit.

What was your process of selecting each look for the Grammy weekend?

I had been hitting Maxfield and Lorenzo just grabbing pieces anytime they had something so by the time Grammys came I could mix and match for the weekend and see what worked. It’s all about pieces.

Whats next for HIT-BOY ?
