Hello, welcome to another episode of Club Shea Shea. I am your host, Shannon Sharpe. I'm also the proprietor of Club Shea Shea. Stopping by for conversation and a drink today, he sold over 100 million records and has billions of streams. He's an award-winning, highly sought-after super producer, a Grammy award-winning songwriter, a multi-platinum-selling rapper, a creator of anthems, a chart-topping artist. an industry veteran, a multi-talented musician, versatile star, and an executive extraordinaire. He's gone diamond as an artist and a producer, a pivotal figure in shaping today's music scene with soundtracks of our lives. He has the Midas touch. Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, Hitmaker. What's up, bro?
Good to see you, huh? Man, thank you, man. Thank you. How you doing? Man, I'm blessed, man. Thanks for having me. So I always ask my guests this. When you hear the accolades that I read off in such a short time, what goes through your mind? Well, when I first heard it, I was like, damn, I sold 250 million records, not just 100. That was the first thing that went through my mind. But man, just the journey, man. I think that a lot of people skip over the journey and don't really appreciate the journey. And I'm going to be honest, at times I did it myself because when you show boots on the ground and just going and going and going... You don't take time to reflect. And then, shit, look at me now.
What personal experiences shaped Hitmaka's music career?
All them accolades, I ain't got no kids, no wife, no nothing. So, shit, it's time to figure it out. Well, let's go ahead and toast. That's coming. I mean, you've had all the success you mentioned, 250 million albums, a record sold, all the billions and billions of streams. And now, because you got so caught up in it, and people that get caught up in their careers, they understand exactly what you're talking about. Salute, bro. Cheers, my brother. Let me know what you think. I've been waiting to get that shea shea. It's smooth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's smooth. You're from Chicago. Yeah. What is it about Chicago? Why are there so many of you guys from Chicago? I think it's because, like, the environment, you know what I'm saying?
It kind of builds you to be, like, tough. And then deeper than that, for me, it's just more so, like, we didn't have a way out. People, like, I'm older now, so I'm about to be 40. So everybody else, like, the younger guys, they don't see it like that because it's the Chief Keeves, the Lil Durks, the G Herbos, whatever.
