Hillzy’s latest release Forever represents his artistic evolution as he merges his penchant for emotional love tributes with his skills as a lyricist capable of making Hip Hop with some of the best wordsmiths on the continent.
Forever is produced by European-based Ouhboy, and it proves the perfect aural bed for Hillzy and his sound as it takes typical heart-pounding drill music baselines and adds rich flutes and chords that a listener would expect on an R&B offering.
In the song, Hillzy pleads for the love and affection of his partner as they traverse the difficulties of a long-distance relationship.
With quotable, heart-pulling lines like:
“Dai waiziva zviri mumoyo mangu, you would only see that I am in love with you
and
My feelings for you are like an avalanche
I’m tired of only seeing you on the gram”
This song is poised to be a massive hybrid hit that will enjoy spins in the club, on radio and even those lonely Sundays when you are feeling nostalgic about a loved one.
Forever features a stunning music video that was directed by talented, upcoming creative Rowanin of Domane Studios, who first broke onto the scene last year with the video for Suhn’s Twenties music video.

About Hillzy
Hillzy (born Hilary Chipunza) is one of Zimbabwe’s most promising and exciting upcoming Contemporary Urban Music acts who has already built a dedicated following across the globe using his unique voice, poignant lyrics and captivating vulnerability.
Hillzy’s music straddles the fine line between Hip Hop’s brazen braggadocio and R&B’s melancholy melodies. He first broke onto the scene with his T.U.T.OR. Mixtape that featured a blend of uptempo Hip Hop tracks with Hillzy’s long-time collaborator H3nry. Aptly titled, the project was released while both artists were still studying at the University of Cape Town. It was at UCT where Hillzy developed his skills as a producer, engineer and multi-genre artist.
During this time, Hillzy managed to build his following and secured collaborations with Cassper Nyovest and Jeremy Loops. He also had appearances on SABC 3’s Morning Expresso and SABC 2’s Hectic 9. Collaborations with Huawei, Castle Lite and Uber soon followed.
In 2017 Hillzy had a breakout year when he released Muroora - an impassioned and stripped-down love ballad that dominated radio and streaming platforms. To date, the song is known as one of Zimbabwe’s quintessential wedding songs. In the same year, he won the Best Diaspora Award at the Zimbabwean Hip Hop Awards, secured an Adidas brand deal, and was named one of Hype Magazine’s Freshmen of The Year.
Hillzy then returned to Zimbabwe where he undertook the most daring campus tour since the early 2000s. The Legacy Tour featured Hillzy and Garry Mapanzure as the only billed headliners who performed at sold-out shows across every major university and college in Zimbabwe in the summer of 2019. The tour is still regarded as one of the most successful tours in the country.
More success followed as Hillzy caught the eye of Afrobeats superstar and mogul - Mr Eazi. Hillzy then collaborated with Mr Eazi on You Are Enough which was released via Mr Eazi’s Empawa label.
After that Hillzy’s work and accolades got the attention of American superstar producer and engineer - Dakari (G-Eazy, Halsey, Charlie Puth, E-40). Dakari signed Hillzy to his Cider Music imprint and the two then began work on Hillzy’s critically and commercially acclaimed Chisikana EP. The project featured chart-topping collaborations with Sha Sha, Gemma Griffiths and Garry Mapanzure.
As a talented vocalist Hillzy is also widely known for his song covers which have generated a great deal of interest in their own right. His cover for Big Sean’s Jumping Out The Window was featured in the 2017 MTV Music Video Awards telecast, and his covers have received stamps of approval from artists like Kehlani and P. Diddy himself.
After the success of Chisikana, Hillzy branched out to found his own imprint, Masinh Productions - a portmanteau of Massive In House Productions and a play on words of the word’s Shona slang homonym (ma-scene)
In 2022 Hillzy and Masinh Productions partnered with Point Black Entertainment to further his career and release his upcoming EP - In The Building.
