Born Damir Hadzalic in Bosnia, raised in New York, and now based in Qatar, HZPROD has worked with Zombie Juice from Flatbush Zombies and the West Coast crew ShoeGang, which tells you everything about his range. This is someone who knows the streets and the studio doesn’t have to speak different languages.
“Not every war makes the news, but every survivor tells a story worth hearing.”
In “War Within (Radio Edit)” Zombie Juice delivers verses that bounce between personal struggle and systemic critique. The track touches on everything from social media’s mental prison to inherited trauma, Malcolm X’s wisdom, to group home memories. It never pretends to have all the answers. The chorus hammers home “It’s a war within” because sometimes the most profound truth is also the simplest one. We’re all fighting battles nobody else can see.
HZPROD is putting his money where his mouth is. Every single dollar from this track goes to families affected by war. For someone who literally lived through the Bosnian war, this isn’t performative activism, which holds a hell of a lot more meaning than just another Instagram post with a heart emoji.
Conscious rap can be exhausting when it’s all diagnosis and no prescription. “War Within” gets that. It acknowledges the mess we’re in, the systems, the trauma, the cycles, but it also insists on resilience.
So here’s your call to action: stream “War Within” because every stream is a small act of solidarity.
