FREDERICKSBURG, VA — October 18, 2025 — Rising hip-hop artist ShaiVa, a proud Bragg Hill, Virginia native, has officially released the second installment of his acclaimed DMVirginia album series. The 15-track project builds on the raw authenticity and regional pride that made the original a standout, offering listeners an unfiltered glimpse into the artist’s world and the streets that shaped him.
Titled simply DMVirginia 2, the album delivers a dynamic mix of introspection, street wisdom, and lyrical storytelling. With standout records such as:
- “Live For TODAY” – a reflective anthem about making the most of every moment,
- “Hoop Dream$” – a gritty ode to chasing success beyond the court,
- “HairCut$ Aint $hit” – a metaphor-laced critique of surface-level validation,
- “Krabs In A BARREL” – a hard-hitting commentary on envy and survival in the community,
ShaiVa continues to cement his voice as one of the most original and necessary in Virginia’s evolving hip-hop landscape.
“The DMVirginia series is about more than music—it’s about legacy, truth, and putting a real voice to the region that raised me,” said ShaiVa. “Every track on this album is a piece of Bragg Hill. A piece of me.”
The project is now available on all major streaming platforms, with visuals and live performances planned in the coming months.
