My homie from Virginia Ahmad always puts me on to up and coming artists out of that area. New talent ShaiVA is one of them. His new EP, Earth Is Hell, recently dropped and it's pretty neat. It's a project that further details his life in his home state. Some people hoop, some people go to the service, and others try to make music. ShaiVA uses his aggressive but introspective music to leave a lasting impression on others. From massive 808's to conscious flows, you will hear many styles on this album. He's very in tune with his fans and will look for anyone for feedback.

Stand out tracks like "Hallo," "Dear America," and "Lawless Game" are what make ShaiVA unique. Material things do not mean much when you are operating on a higher level. Life is short, and ShaiVA wants his fans to make the most of it because he sure will. Check it out below.
