Hit-Boy Releases "New Chains"

posted in: Music NewsUrban

The pop music world is still absorbing the impact of Kanye West‘s Yeezus, but yesterday afternoon another member of the hip-hop elite took on one of the album’s biggest beats and delivered an equally enjoyable (if not better) song.

Turning “New Slaves” into “New Chains,” Hit-Boy has delivered a new single on the back of the lead Yeezus single that makes the familiar production feel fresh once more. Hit-Boy doesn’t spit lyrics quite like Kanye, and that’s okay because no one should ever try to imitate Mr. West, but what he does bring to the table is just as heartfelt and honest. You can view the video for “New Chains” at the end of this post.

Hit-Boy found success as a rapper with the release of his HitStory mixtape, but now all eyes on him to make the next move. “New Chains” seems to hint at a future release, but Hit-Boy is keeping details slim. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on “New Chains.”
