WHAT IT IS: Bursting onto the scene last year, R&B sensation Fridayy cemented his status as a sought-after hook maestro, contributing to DJ Khaled’s Grammy-nominated hit “GOD DID” and Lil Baby’s “Forever,” landing him on SNL prior to releasing his debut EP, Lost in Melody. He honed his musicianship in church choirs and a basement studio in Philly, adding a layer of authenticity to his artistry. Fridayy’s baritone soars over his meticulously self-produced beats, blending influences from hip-hop, R&B, gospel, Afrobeats and beyond, on his self-titled debut album, featuring standout tracks “When it Comes to You” and “Don’t Give It Away” f/Chris Brown.
