Hit-Boy talks about the ‘G.O.O.D. Music’ album
In a new Complex interview, Hit-Boy revealed that Frank Ocean was involved with the first sessions for the forthcoming G.O.O.D. Music album.
I was in London for a week. It was my first time in London. Those were actually the first sessions of the G.O.O.D. Music album. I worked with my G.O.O.D. Music family and met some nice young ladies. [Laughs.] It was amazing. I did a whole bunch of stuff when I was up there.
Mannie Fresh was [in the studio with us], Pusha T was there, Big Sean was there, Ye was there obviously. Marsha Ambrosius, Frank Ocean, Jay Electronica, and John Legend all came through. We all vibed and made amazing music.
Others verified this collaboration through social media.
Learned in London: NOBU is always 500+ for dinner, @HitBoy_SC is the future, I'm a car hoe, Frank Ocean already won, and G.O.O.D can't lose!
