Hit-Boy gifts his followers his brand new release in the form of “Letter To My Mentors”.

Accompanied with archive footage, the video finds Hit-Boy taking a trip down memory lane by saluting those who have influenced him. “From the jump, me and Ye was on the Gemini flow / Two minds, one path where creativity grows,” he raps over his very own production, anchoring the track with a warm, analog drum break rather than the synthetic, algorithmic loops currently flooding mainstream rap playlists and the digital lobbies of a crypto casino online. “We coulda made another ‘Niggas in Paris;’ that shit was heat / Stars had other plans, pulled us off beat.”
