WHAT IT IS: R&B sensation Fridayy—who honed his musicianship in church choirs and a basement studio in Philly—has rapidly become a sought-after hook maestro. His contributions to DJ Khaled’s Grammy-nominated hit “GOD DID” and Lil Baby’s “Forever” landed him on SNL prior to the release of his debut EP, Lost in Melody. His self-titled debut album, featuring the standout tracks “Don’t Give It Away” f/Chris Brown and “When it Comes to You,” has been lodged at #2 on the Apple Music R&B album chart (behind only SZA) since its release in August. After months of airplay and streaming growth, “When It Comes to You” landed on the Hot 100 chart at #98.
