Hit-Boy said he had one more spalsh for 2022 and held to the promise. Before midnight ringing in 2023, Hit-Boy dropped his new single “2 Certified,” featuring British rapper Avelino. According to Billboard, the single is the latest introduction to Hit-Boy’s upcoming sixth studio album.
The single featured bars from Hit-Boy, answering Avelino’s call to rap more. In a paired video directed by THIRDEYERAZ, Hit-Boy and Avelino take on a beat pad while also dealing with a moment of paparazzi.
“My engineer David Kim, who was mixing the Nas album, was also mixing Avelino’s album down the hall,” Hit-Boy says of the collaboration. “So Avelino came through, and by the end of the night, we had this record done.”
