The superproducers squared off Friday on Instagram Live.
On Friday night, fans of hip-hop were treated to a plethora of unreleased tracks from superproducers Hit-Boy and Boi-1da as they squared off in “The Beat Battle You Don’t Want To Miss.” Sharing snippets of unreleased music from Drake and Roddy Ricch, Nas, Benny the Butcher, and even a cut from Big Sean and the late and great Nipsey Hussle.
Boi-1da first played a snippet of an unreleased track from Drake and Roddy Ricch, which assured listeners they were in for the unexpected. Over a gamey synth, Drake can be heard rapping “I rock diamonds when I’m under pressure,” with Ricch following the Toronto rapper’s verse with his own melodious bars. “Stop playing with me bro, I’m not playing with you, bro,” Boi-1da can be heard saying while playing the track. The Canadian producer also shared another Drake snippet from an unreleased track.
