Hit-Boy and Nas Keep It Artsy in New Video "The Tide"

Hit-Boy and Nas Keep It Artsy in New Video "The Tide"

Hit-Boy is gearing up for the release of his upcoming album, Surf or Drown, with his latest video, "The Tide" featuring Nas.

Directed by THIRDEYERAZ, the video comes ahead of Hit-Boy's album, Surf or Drown, which will feature him both rapping and producing. Last week, he released a video for the track "Slipping Into Darkness" with Alchemist, also directed by THIRDEYERAZ. That track features a creative twist –the track finds swapping beats and bars — Hit-Boy produces the top half of the laid-back track, while Alchemist rhymes, while the back half finds Hit-Boy picking up the mic to rhyme over Alchemist's piano-heavy beat.

“I got features on it," Hit-Boy said of his upcoming album. "It’s produced by me and a couple of the homies did some little pieces, but it’s a real good body of just what I’m on right now … It’s gonna be like 11 joints.”

In addition to the Nas and Alchemist features, the anticipated project features collaborations with Dom Kennedy, Curren$y and more, and will also feature instrumental versions of the songs.

Surf or Drown is due out on March 24. Watch "The Tide" with Nas above.
