HerShe, the producing powerhouse and multi-hyphenate live performer, returns with “Hit Maker,” a high-energy anthem that blends battle-tested vocal percussion with razor-sharp production and in-your-face bars. HerShe tells us:
I made “Hit Maker” because I wanted to pay homage to my previous days as a competitive beatboxer to create a clean, epic transition from beatboxing back into production and DJing,” HerShe shares. HerShe asks – ‘What have you heard about me? I’m the bad, I’m the bad bitch you wanna be, HerShe hittem with the hittem with the—’ and then “Hit Maker” hits. The crowd eats it up every time.”

This project is bigger than just music. ‘M.D.E’ is a celebration of the culture, of the moshpit, of the bass community. Every artist on here brought the heat, and together we made something that hits hard and brings people together. That is what this scene is all about.”
