D. Hill is best known for co-producing Drake and Future's Grammy-nominated hit Life Is Good, as well as the duo’s Dark Lane Demos collaboration Desires.
Future also paid his respect to the producer.
"Lost for words," the artist wrote with a broken heart emoji. "RIP."

"u did legendary S**t In such ah short time …rest up Lil bro," Future added.

Back in 2017, D. Hill began his pursuing a career as a producer.
He revealed he would often sleep on couches during work trips to Atlanta, and sometimes in his car.
In February 2020, he told Complex: "There’s a guy named Guap Tarantino and he’s a Freebandz artist. After working with him and staying consistent with him, everything else started to unfold."
He continued: "Future’s part is solely produced by me. OZ, he works closely with Drake, so that was his production, along with Ambezza, a producer who is super talented. The idea of them merging two songs together, that’s something [Future and Drake] did. I sent that beat to Future months ago.
“I’m glad they merged the two songs together. That was a good collaboration opportunity, and it’s going crazy right now.”
