Virginia’s Breeze Barker Kicks Off The Spring With His Triumphant Single “Ring The Alarm”
Breeze Barker (@breezebarker) is a seasoned rap veteran with the energy of a #1 pick in the draft. His new banger “Ring The Alarm” marks a new era for the Portsmouth-raised emcee who has earned his stripes as an emcee throughout his decorated rap career. The horn-laced instrumental pairs perfectly with his signature raspy tone and impeccable flow that has helped him become a staple within the 757 area of Virginia.
After building momentum with a slew of freestyles, including his regionally viral remake of G Herbo’s “Norfolk,” Barker is proving that his new project is on pace to be his best due to his increased hunger and undeniable charisma. He was one of the most exciting bar spitters from the region before catching Timbaland’s attention. Ultimately, he made a mixtape with him and fellow Virginia legend Young Crazy. Their collaborative mixtape Sharks x Pistols received major love on blogs, including top outlets like All Hip Hop and more.
“Ring The Alarm” is the beginning for the fiery yet fly emcee. While known for his knack for fashion, he’s letting it be known he hasn’t missed a step ahead of his most anticipated project in a while. Press play on the new single below from his forthcoming LP!

Virginia Beach rapper J.R. Clark and rising talent KAI$er join forces for “Stay Solid”, a no-frills anthem about loyalty, resilience, and standing firm in a world that too often rewards the opposite. Released via Vintage Sound Entertainment, the single pairs sleek production with razor-sharp verses that reflect each artist’s commitment to authenticity—both in life and lyricism.
“Stay Solid” is more than just a street sermon. It’s a statement: one that encourages listeners to stay grounded, trust their instincts, and never fold under pressure. As J.R. Clark spits vivid lines born from real-life experience, KAI$er provides the perfect counterbalance with a smooth yet commanding delivery that underscores the song’s message. The chemistry is undeniable. The result? A track that sits comfortably between classic hustle rap and modern motivational soundtracks.
