Hilifa 94 back on his feet and ready

Rapper Hilifa 94 shared his ordeal of the horrific accident that nearly took his life and how he plans on living it now, to the fullest.He recalls 25 March starting off as an ordinary day. Hilifa 94 and a friend were on their way to Windhoek where he was to take part in a hip-hop Cypher party. Upon arriving in Tsumeb, they missed a curve which caused the car to crash. “I saw it all happening. The car was spinning and all I could do was wait for it to be over. Thank God I was wearing my seat belt,” he says. The two friends were both rushed to the hospital in Tsumeb. Hilifa 94 sustained minor injuries - a dislocated arm and knee and he also took a hit to the head. The rapper was however unconscious for three days. His friend had a leg seriously damaged. He is now going through physiotherapy to help the leg become functional. The artist believes their lives were spared because they could have both died. “It took some time to register what happened when I became conscious because I had bumped my head. The accident has definitely changed my perspective on life. I pray more often now as well,” he said.The rapper says he is more appreciative of his life. With such a tragic accident, he believes his life was spared because there is a bigger plan. Hilifa 94 is now determined to life to the fullest and make more music for his fans. One of the songs on the album 'Elalakaneno' which when translated from Oshiwambo means 'purpose' was inspired by the accident. “What I learned from this is that your life can be taken away from you in an instant. I am more motivated to work hard because I have a lot to accomplish. I was planning on releasing my album titled Village Champion in April but I had to push the date ahead due to the accident. This also allowed me to add a few songs which were inspired by the accident,” he says. The artist who has been in the industry for four years now says his 18-track album will be filled with music that shows growth from his side as an artist. There are many genres on it which he raps on. He also features up-and-coming and established artists. One of the songs titled Mama will be released this Sunday as a single. The song is dedicated to all mothers and features soul artist Nashawn. “Village Champion will drop in June. All proceeds from my debut album will be donated to the Cancer Association of Namibia because I have always loved their efforts and what they do,” he saidJune Shimuoshili
