I dig it, Hitboy definitely understood Musiq's sound and stayed in that lane. I still think there's something about his beats that are somewhat lacking, they don't really stick with you.

This here.

I'm a huge Musiq fan, and said the same thing.

When Musiq is in the studio with Carvin and Ivan, there's a certain amount of soul in the production that just can't be denied. They make magic together. That's why those early albums are so classic.

The thing with Hit, is that he uses way too many sample kits and recycled loops. So a lot of times, the music lacks the level of soul that you want to hear from him. It can kinda come off generic. He's getting mad work, but he's not changing his approach to being more hands-on and staying away from the preset sh*t. It was the same with "N*ggas in Paris". Premade samples and all that. If he started diggin' more and learned how to create his own sound, I think that's when he'd separate himself from the pack of millions of other beat-makers.
