Fresh off the Stagecoach Stage, South Georgia singer-songwriter RVSHVD (@itsrvshvd pronounced RA-SHAD) released a Country interpretation of Tupac Shakur’s iconic hit single, “Dear Mama.”
RVSHVD – “Dear Mama” cover
“Tupac was a major influence in my life growing up. His music and message have reached millions and will continue to do so. ‘Dear Mama’ has a special message that many who grew up with a parent who worked tirelessly for their child can connect to, myself included. This experience meant a lot to me and I only hope that as my career continues to grow, I can somehow reach and inspire people as Tupac did through his music.” – RVSHVD explained
RVSHVD’s cover pays homage to Tupac’s original while bringing a fresh perspective to the song. With this Country rendition, RVSHVD adds a unique twist to the renowned hip-hop track. The heartfelt lyrics with the artist’s soulful vocals and Country-infused melodies create a captivating and nostalgic listening experience. RVSHVD’s ability to seamlessly blend genres showcases his versatility and creativity as an artist.
Roddy Ricch – “Ballin’ (Country Version)”
As a teenager, RVSVHD was into hip-hop and making beats, but his world turned upside down when he heard “Sweet Thing” by Keith Urban. He got in a groove writing songs in the Country vein as it was more personal and rewarding, saying, “I can be myself in Country music, talking about the real things I do and feel without trying to be a persona.”
Fusing hip-hop and Country is not a new concept for RVSHVD as he hit the jackpot on his version of Roddy Ricch’s “Ballin.” The song went viral on Spotify, TikTok, Apple, and YouTube amassing over 25 million streams and lifting his catalog of songs to over 130 million streams.
As RVSHVD’s career continues to gain momentum, fans eagerly anticipate more releases that showcase his unique musical style. With his powerful vocals and heartfelt storytelling, RVSHVD is poised to make a lasting impact on the Country music scene.
