Atlanta rapper/producer Hitman Da Hitmaker presents the 3PV-directed music video for "Woah", his new song produced by Super Mario Beats. Featuring a guest appearance from Jab Season, the track appears on Hitman's album Who Are You, which also features guest appearances from RazoTha1st, Millz, 211, Huncho Beezy, Legacy and J Dot Brwn. Originally from New York, Hitman recorded his first song at the age of 11 and mixes and masters all his music personally. The "Woah" clip comes on the heels of the music video for previous single "I'm Gunna" (watch on Youtube). Hitman says his new track was inspired by "all the people who doubted on me. They didn't believe in me now they are witnessing my success." Who Are You is out now on Sound District.

What can you tell us about the track "Woah"? What was your inspiration? Thoughts behind the hook? Music video?

The track Woah was inspired by Lil Baby's woah. My homeboy freestyled the hook after I played the beat and I said lets go to the studio. After we did the song a year later I decided to shoot the video and I came up with the concept.

How has growing up in New York influenced your style of

music? When did you realize this was the life for you?

New York made me lyrical and made me write my raps instead of going into the booth and freestyling. In New York they like structured music with content that makes sense. While in New York I went to my first studio at 11 and at that moment I knew I wanted to be a rapper.

What can we expect to see/hear from you in the future as far as new projects?


As of right now I am pushing my project "Who Are You" while working on my follow up project "The Ghetto Gospel". I have new videos being worked on that I am hoping one day to go viral.


Your sound has both a new school and old school feel. Where do you get your inspiration from? What are your thoughts on the industry today and the direction it's going?


I get my inspiration from artists like Lauryn Hill, Drake and Tupac. Even though I specialize in rap my favorite genre is soul rnb but sadly I can not sing. Being from New York helped me to focus on my lyricism and living in Atlanta eloped me to develop my new school sound. Today's industry is a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because many artists have an opportunity to get some shine but a curse in that its a lot of people with no talent in my opinion overshadowing those artists. Today's hip hop scene glorifies violence, drugs and sex. The music I grew up on was a lot different and had a message behind it. I think we need more artists to express their feelings in their music more and not focus on doing what every other artist is doing.
