London, UK — Rising star HZD has officially launched his music career with the release of his debut music video for his infectious new track, “Ping”. At just 18 years old, this London-based artist has already made a mark, blending an authentic UK Rap sound with a soulful twist that’s sure to resonate with fans across the scene.

Born Haydon, HZD’s journey to music wasn’t a conventional one. A boxer turned MC, he’s been freestyling since he was a kid, though it wasn’t until recently that he began taking his craft seriously. “I used to create a hazard in whatever I did, whether it was in the ring or in life — that’s where the name HZD came from,” he shares, giving insight into the origins of his unique moniker.

“Ping”, a UK Rap-driven anthem designed to get heads bopping, showcases HZD’s ambition to bring a fresh take to the genre. “I wanted to bring an AJ Tracey kinda vibe, using a mix of Rap and soul beats to create something that feels new but true to London’s music roots,” says HZD. The track’s infectious energy, coupled with slick production, makes it a standout debut.

The accompanying music video, directed by Bdot, elevates the song with sharp visuals and dynamic editing that reflect the track’s hard-hitting vibe. “The shoot was so professional, and Bdot brought ideas I couldn’t have imagined. The final product exceeded my expectations,” HZD recalls.

But this is only the beginning for HZD. With a vault of 20 unreleased tracks, he’s gearing up to showcase his versatility in the months to come. “When I’m not making music, I’m making music,” he jokes. His relentless drive and commitment to his craft signal that he’s a talent to watch closely in the UK music scene.

The debut of “Ping” marks the arrival of an artist ready to make waves, blending Rap, soul, and street-savvy lyricism. Stay tuned — HZD is just getting started.
