"Hi-Rez chose God over money, burned bridges with major labels, Hollywood execs, and industry musicians. Demonetized, deplatformed, and banned. He put it all on the line for the sake of the truth." declares the narrator at the start of Hi-Rez's impactful track, "Heaven Over Hollywood.". The Bronx born rapper is known for his bars on the anthemic "Welcome to the Revolution", a viral track associated with the freedom movement, featuring a vocal hook from gospel artist Jimmy Levy. The two also interviewed Dr. Robert Malone during the freedom convoy era. As you can imagine, Hi-Rez has faced a fair bit of backlash from the woke entertainment industry for his commitment to liberty.
This track serves as an ode to the rapper's experiences in the last few years, being one of the few artists to speak up against government corruption. Hi-Rez starts his verse by rapping: "I chose heaven over Hollywood, I'll never sell my soul.". He fearlessly delves into the culture of canceling and corruption in the industry, exposing the falsehoods perpetuated by fellow rappers, affirming, "All these rappers lying every time they're in the booth.".
Perhaps the most impactful line which reflects Hi-Rez's journey of standing up for truth in a world of lies is: "They try to label me radical and call me extreme because I'm willing to die for the American dream".
Throughout the song, Hi-Rez's personal journey unfolds as he draws closer to his roots, expressing a newfound connection to God, heritage, and religion. He extends forgiveness to those who have wronged him, stating, "If you ever did me wrong, just know you're forgiven.".
"Heaven Over Hollywood" is a track from the upcoming album from Hi-Rez of the same name which is dropping June 30th.
