Shaiva sets the tone with his NBA Playoffs-ready viral smash “Basketball.” After the impressive re-release of his single through his new partnership venture with 3rdEyeRecordings / Bunglao / Universal Music Group, the buzzing artist has now dropped a visual to pair with the track. To date, over 50K different TikToks have been made to his record. The song was even played during an Indiana Pacers game.  

The new mini-movie shows the mindset of Shaiva, looking to find a way to use his skills to make it out of his hometown. At first, it was hoops, but now his music is helping improve his life. The Uriah-produced single is a smooth introduction to his self-titled rap genre, “Trap Conscious Musik.” The new video shows the intelligent emcee effortlessly floating between verses using his Mamba mentality to write the verse.

Hailing from Miami, Liberty City recording artist D30 is a 2023 artist-to-watch. He’s authentic, he’s gritty, he’s magnetic, and, most of all, he’s unstoppable. While his music continues to spread like wildfire throughout the south, the emerging star keeps the momentum going with must-hear new music like his hard-hitting latest single, properly titled “No Hook.”

A follow-up to his previous release, “I’m Back,” the first part of a three-part series showcases D30 unleashing a nonstop lyrical tirade filled with aggressive appeal, lethal execution, and fearless confidence. Backed by his crew, D30 proves he is not the one to be tested because he will pass with flying colors. “No Hook” is directed by WoahAydrian.

A brief backstory on D30. He began creating music at 8-years-old and begun recording at 15. Miami’s longstanding legacy in hip hop has influenced the new star to believe that anything is possible over the beat. “I am enthusiastic about music,” he said in a press release. “And it is not that many opportunities in my environment to make it out. I am influenced by the people who found their way out and I know that writing about my experiences will inspire others to do the same. I make hip hop rap music for the masses. My goals are to make my dream come true and take care my family.”

Spending the last five years developing his own sound and fanbase, D30’s recent work has separate himself from not only today’s southern artist, but from any southern artists before him. He uses his relentless passion to guide him in an industry that feeds on copy cats and stereotypes.

He continued: “I stay in my lane. Ion tryna be something I ain’t and ion wanna leech my way to the top I move off genuine love. Seeing artists go on tour and go platinum inspires me. I can see myself doing the same. My daughter keeps me going she gotta eat every day. I cannot stop grinding until I surpass my goals. I am securing my legacy I will not be a failure. I expect greatness and nothing less.”

D30 is currently working on new music as his latest project, Youngest in Motion 2, available on all digital streaming platforms via ABK, is receiving rave reviews from fans and industry insiders alike. His next project, For Da Trenches will be dropping soon. To stay updated on everything D30 and his upcoming project, follow him on social media.

Trapland Pat‘s wide-eyed charisma and gently melodic flow have established him as one of South Florida’s most exciting young emcees. Preparing for the release of his upcoming Professor Trap mixtape, Pat shares “Spoof,” a cross-regional collaboration with Detroit heavy-hitter Tee Grizzley. Produced by frequent collaborator 2Side, “Spoof” is an exuberant and thumping anthem for the hitters, inviting each rapper to lock into the beat with their signature styles. Pat leans into his intensity, picking up the pace with rising melody as he elevates his flexes: “Went and got some property through the realtor, coulda got a car/The way these n****s really make wishes, they just seen a star,” spits Pat. For his part, Tee Grizzley proves he’s a beast in his city, and assures that he always keeps his homies fed. In the video, directed by Pat’s frequent shooter ShotByJolo, Trapland Pat and Tee Grizzley connect in Detroit, as the Florida favorite adapts admirably to the weather, rocking an Isiah Thomas Pistons jersey and a Bape winter coat. Watch the “Spoof” video at 5pm ET on Trapland Pat’s YouTube.

This week, class is in session with Professor Trap, the new mixtape by Trapland Pat. The tape gives a home to standout singles like the effortlessly funky “Backstreet” ft. Luh Tyler, the sinister “Z Land,” and the “Big Business” (Remix), which adds a verse from Rick Ross to Pat’s 2021 breakout hit. Featuring additional appearances from Big Yavo, G.T., and Pat’s Bang Biz label boss Fredo Bang, Professor Trap hits the streets on June 2nd via Bang Biz./Alamo Records.

The upcoming Professor Trap is the anticipated follow-up to Trapnificent, Pat’s acclaimed 2022 mixtape. Pat’s first release for Bang Biz and Alamo Records, Trapnificent earned praise from Pitchfork, who called the project a “zippy distillation of his regional roots” and said that Pat’s music is “extremely regionally and culturally specific, like so much exciting and promising new rap music.” Trapnificent kept up the momentum from 2021’s Thru The Door, home to “Big Business,” which generated over 10 million streams and earned a spot on Passion Of The Weiss’s list of Best Rap Songs of 2021.

Ready to build on his impressive 2022 and bring his South Florida street raps to a larger audience, Trapland Pat has the goods to be Broward County’s next big star. Stay tuned for Professor Trap, coming very soon.
