R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: BIA & Lil Yachty, Montell Fish, Ray Emmanuel & Tia Wood


Listen to new songs from emerging artists like BIA, Montell Fish, Ray Emmanuel, Tia Wood and more.

With Fresh Picks, Billboard aims to highlight some of the best and most interesting new sounds across R&B and hip-hop – from BIA’s frustrations on wax to Doodie Lo and Mozzy linking up for a gritty street anthem. A funky bassline and some pop-leaning soul provide the canvas for Woods on the project standout “Sky High.” The Amy Winehouse-inspired artist looks inward to heal rather than for outside support: “Who needs a savior? Fish explained that with the project his “goal was to make an art piece inspired by theological Ideas through the lens of a breakup with a slight to psychological concepts for answers.”
