Weekend Frequency Vol. 10 | Hustler Anthems, Street Gospel, Five Boro Fire Playlist by Chance

by | May 9, 2025 | HIP HOP & RAP, MUSIC, WEEKEND PLAYLIST

Richmond gets it. More than any other city in Virginia. So here’s Weekend Frequency, a weekly, reader-curated playlist built for the city, by the city.

Weekend Frequency is part revival and part continuation of our RVA Mag Weekend Playlists which we curated before the world flipped upside down in 2020. Feel free to dig through our entire archive of 100+ playlists here. Each playlist is curated by local legends and national artists alike, setting an undeniable weekend vibe.

This week’s Weekend Frequency comes from entrepreneur, connoisseur, and all around aficionado of all things class, the incalculable Chance __

I’m in a season of epic wins and massive impact. I craved a collection of anthems — triumphant, larger-than-life, right hooks to the ribs. The past year for me was marked by relentless hustle and an insatiable appetite for success. This playlist is the soundtrack to claiming everything I deserve, with interest. If you’re riding that wave, sing along. If you’re chasing it, let this inspire you.”


Editor’s Note: We want to hear what you’ve been listening to. Each week we’ll turn over the playlist to one of our readers giving you the chance to share what’s been on your turntable, headphones, or blasting through your speakers. Drop us a line at  hello@rvamag.com with Weekend Frequency in the subject line, along with 15 tracks and one paragraph telling our readers why you chose the songs you did.
