Virginia rapper Shaiva isn’t just another viral sensation—he’s making calculated moves to solidify his place in the industry. After his hit “Basketball” exploded on TikTok, amassing over 50,000 videos, the track is now back with a re-release backed by 3rdEyeRecordingsLLC & UMG. With over 2,000 videos internationally already, the momentum is proving that Shaiva’s success isn’t just an online moment—it’s a stepping stone to something bigger.
Shaiva’s grind sets him apart from the typical internet success story. Coming from a tough background, he built his career independently, creating what he calls Trap Conscious Musik—a mix of hard-hitting beats and real-life storytelling. His raw authenticity and ability to connect with listeners caught the industry’s attention, leading to a major distribution deal and bigger opportunities, including opening for The Baddies Club.
With the re-release of “Basketball” already gaining traction and more new projects on the horizon, Shaiva is proving he has what it takes to turn viral fame into a lasting career. His influence is growing, and as he continues to push his music beyond social media, there’s no doubt he’s making his mark on the industry.
