Solidity, a hip-hop artist hailing from Newport News, Virginia—known locally as “Badd Newzz”—creates music that embodies strength, resilience, and authenticity. Growing up, she fell in love with hip-hop through shows like Rap City, Big Tigga's "In the Basement," and 106 & Park. Inspired by rap legends such as Eminem, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Schoolboy Q, Solidity saw hip-hop as more than just music—it was a home, a culture, and a movement she was destined to be a part of.

Inspired by rap legends such as Eminem, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Schoolboy Q, Solidity saw hip-hop as more than just music—it was a home, a culture, and a movement she was destined to be a part of.
Her music is a heartfelt tribute to her roots, sharing stories of her experiences and the city that shaped her. Solidity’s journey is about more than just creating music—it's about building a legacy. Instead of writing a book or giving a rags-to-riches interview, she chose music as her platform to express gratitude to her community. Drawing from her struggles and triumphs, she developed Solid University, a concept that connects her artistry with her fanbase. Inspired by her time at Old Dominion University, Solidity crafted her own universe, Solid Universe (SU), where she connects with her supporters—referred to as her “students”—while she takes on the role of the “Dean of Academics.”
A major milestone in Solidity’s career has been her collaboration with MerchMadeIt at Anthem Enterprise studio. Working with Merch on her debut project, Solid University, has been both a significant achievement and an exciting new chapter. She is eager to continue building on this partnership as she develops future projects and expands her musical vision.
Solidity’s music is more than just sound; it’s a source of solace and connection. She hopes her fans find peace and comfort in her lyrics, knowing they are not alone in their struggles. Through her art, Solidity strives to inspire her listeners to find strength in their shared experiences and to embrace the journey of growth and resilience.
