R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: Doechii, Tyrese & Tamar Braxton, Erica Banks & More
Listen to new must-hear songs from emerging R&B/hip-hop artists like YTB Fatt and Diany Dior.
The biggest story of the past week has been the heated Billboard 200 chart battle between Sabrina Carpenter ‘s star-cementing Short n’ Sweet LP and the ten-year anniversary wide release of Travis Scott ‘s debut mixtape, Days Before Rodeo. With Fresh Picks, Billboard aims to highlight some of the best and most interesting new sounds across R&B and hip-hop — from Tyrese and Tamar Braxton’s heart-melting new reimagining of an R&B classic to Erica Banks and Skilla Baby’s sultry new collaboration. Twista gifts her a characteristically rapid-fire voice before Shawnna comes in on the song’s back half — parenthetically titled “Just a Freak” — with a Beenie Man-referencing verse that blends hip-hop and soul with a small dash of reggae.
