On the playful opening track “SECRETS,” Jay playfully requests some pics from a partner, rapping: “Trust me with you nakeds/ Trust me with your nakeds/ Trust me with your nakeds/ Ooh, I won’t leak it.”
Check out the project, which includes a feature from Dom Kennedy, below.
DONT WAIT UNTIL I DIE isn’t the only project Hit-Boy’s been promoting of late.
Earlier this month, producer The Alchemist and Hit-Boy’s father Big Hit announced a joint album together called Black & Whites, launching it with a trailer inspired by the cult film Office Space.

Parodying a classic scene from the 1999 movie, the West Coast trio joined forces to smash up a printer and keyboards.
A behind-the-scenes clip of the promo revealed that The Alchemist wasn’t actually pounding on a printer, but instead a spot on the ground.

Hit, Alchemist and Big Hit also shared the first single from the album, “Foreclosure,” which finds the latter spitting over a double-sided beat from both his son and Alc.
A release date for Black & Whites has yet to be announced.

Hit-Boy and The Alchemist already dropped a joint project together this year.
In February, the duo hooked up for a surprise EP called Theodore & Andre which was comprised of just three tracks and no guest features.
The prolific Hit-Boy also dropped an album with Big Hit late last year called The Truth is in My Eyes, which was the first release by a rapper to be entirely produced by their son.
In an Instagram post following its release, Hit-Boy explained just how much making the album meant to him.

“Being in elementary school telling people me and my dad were gonna make music together one day when he’s back out on the streets,” he wrote. “Over the years we have had points where he touched down for a second maybe a few months MAX and we started recording and making some progress. Then he’d let the streets win and he’d end up right back in the cell for years at a time.
“Big Hit has spent about 30 years of his life on the inside and i still never looked at him at anything other than my dad he’s himself at all times and it’s no cut on how he move love it or hate it. this time feels different for me personally im a lot more mature and i know who i am so as a man i can hear him out and also be a leader for him in my own right.”
