Emerging
UK-based Nigerian rapper/vocalist and Warri-native HILZ makes her debut on the Nigerian music scene with a strong
message of hope on her brand new single titled “I Believe”. Produced by Charlz and featuring Meissa on vocals, “I Believe” carries a
delicate but yet very apt message about optimism and faith in the face of
despair.
Over the
drums-led musical backdrop, Hilz superbly
speaks for the everyday Nigerian and our quest to make our lives better through
her though-provoking and hard hitting lyrics with Meissa beautifully singing for a better tomorrow and what both
artists believe in - equality, hope and unity.
Thanks to
Bonza who is at the directorial helm,
the “I Believe” music video is a cleverly-crafted visual representation of the
single as it excellently portrays the delicate message that Hilz and Meissa are aiming to convey on the lyrics and music of “I Believe”
without ever coming across as tacky or “preachy” video. Watch it below:

and thoughtful lyrics, clear vocal cadence and . Hilz - which is short for
Hilary - was born and raised in Warri, Delta State and is now currently in the
United Kingdom studying Computer Systems Engineering (CSE) at the University of
Wolverhampton.
Growing
up in Warri, Hilz was always
surrounded by music by the likes of Dolly
Parton, Jennifer Lopez, Craig David and Michael Jackson to mention a few and as a result, she discovered a
strong passion for music and singing in particular. Inspired soon after by
legendary femcees such as Foxy Brown
and Eve, Hilz developed a keen
interest in rapping and ultimately desired to give music a shot. A few studio
sessions and collaborations in, she was eventually spotted by UK-based Nigerian
label Flake City and soon became
part of the Flake City family where she has continued to develop her craft and
hone her rapping skills.
“I
Believe” is the impressive debut single from Hilz, it is produced and co-written by Flake City’s in-house
beatsmith Charlz and features
emerging singing sensation Meissa
who is also signed to Flake City
showing off her silky smooth vocals on the excellent hook. “I Believe” carries a
strong message of hope in the midst of a world filled with negativity and
sorrow, as Hilz explains it, “to those
who believe and stay strong, holding on, as long as there is a tomorrow, there
is HOPE”.
