Chauncey “Hit-Boy” Hollis continues to establish himself as one of the most successful production minds in Hip Hop history. This week, Hit-Boy added another accolade to his long list of accomplishments.
Hit-Boy won his second consecutive Producer Of The Year trophy at the 2021 BET Hip Hop Awards. The California-bred beat maker competed against DJ Khaled, Metro Boomin, Mustard, The Alchemist, and Tyler, The Creator for the honor.
“Producer of the year 2 years in a row @BET this [is] my 4th Producer Of The Year award overall and all I keep thinking about is elevating my craft. You can do it too,” tweeted Hit-Boy on Wednesday afternoon.
