GRAMMY-winning artist/producer Hit-Boy shares new single “Block Party”

YEAST TALKIN’ (DELUXE) ALBUM
W/ SPANK NITTI JAMES – OUT NOW
LISTEN

Following the release of Yeast Talkin’ (Deluxe) with longtime collaborator Spank Nitti James last week, GRAMMY Award-winning artist and producer Hit-Boy has released a new single, “Block Party” – out now, alongside an accompanying music video starring Lefty Gunplay. Arriving as his first official single of 2026, “Block Party” finds Hit-Boy flowing over classic Southern California production before a mid-song beat switch flips it into a celebratory Trap anthem. The music video taps newly GRAMMY-winning rapper Lefty Gunplay for a cinematic exploration of the street thematics of the song –– “I’ll never put my faith in no man cause I’m God bodied / Paid the whole plan on my phone, join the block party”, Hit-Boy raps through a contemplative opening verse. The release of “Block Party” follows Hit-Boy‘s recent VERZUZ head-to-head showdown against Mike Will Made-It, where he played his most iconic production credits, ranging from Kendrick Lamar‘s “Backseat Freestyle” (1B+ Streams) and Beyoncé‘s “Flawless” (350M+ Streams) to Drake‘s “Trophies” (1B+ Streams). After spending the first month of the year producing A$AP Rocky‘s “STAY HERE 4 LIFE” (feat. Brent Faiyaz) and dropping YouTube-only singles like “NBA CENTEL”, as well as “CROW BARS” (which was inspired by a real-life event where his studio was broken into), “Block Party” serves as the lastest release in Hit-Boy‘s ongoing prolific run.

After gaining independence with the help of his close friend and collaborator Jay-Z, who helped him exit the 18-year publishing deal in July, Hit-Boy has been inspired by an influx of creativity and freedom. First releasing singles like “What’s the Deal?” (1.5M+ Streams) to break his silence, Hit-Boy then linked up with fellow GRAMMY-nominated artist / producer The Alchemist for a collab album GOLDFISH, for which they have also hosted screenings for its accompanying short film which was directed by Abteen Bagheri and stars both Hit-Boy and The Alchemist themselves, as well as Danny Trejo and Rory Culkin among others. On top of his recent production credits on Jay Electronica and Westside Gunn‘s “Best Wishes”, TiaCorine‘s “Backyard” (feat. JID), as well as Blueface‘s recent single “6”6′” (feat. Zoe Osama, Spank Nitti James, OC Chris & Supparay), Hit-Boy will also serve as Executive Producer for streamer N3ON‘s upcoming album, for which they created a 2-day writing camp and experiential event that featured appearances from Sexxy Red, Diplo, Iggy Azalea, Big Sean, Ty Dolla $ign, and generated over 1 Billion views across all platforms in the first 24 hours. With the next chapter of his career in high gear, Hit-Boy is embracing his influential role as an all-around creative and artist in modern-day Hip-Hop while hitting a hard reset and amplifying his creative freedom, on which Hit-Boy shares, “I’ve never felt more empowered as an artist… after 20 years in the game, I feel like I’m just getting started”.
