Bia
Multi-platinum hitmaker BIA's tough, confident flows meet with detailed production, resulting in sinister trap bangers with the occasional R&B hook. After getting started as an independent artist, she signed on with Epic in early 2020, issuing her EP For Certain and bringing in Nicki Minaj for a remix of one of its tracks, "Whole Lotta Money." After the song cracked the upper reaches of the Billboard chart, BIA expanded For Certain into an album-length deluxe version in 2021, and from there she continued releasing new music in the form of collaborations with J. Cole and Snakehips or singles of her own. Really Her, another EP expanded into a deluxe edition, arrived in 2023. She teamed up with JID for the 2024 single "LIGHTS OUT."
BIA was born in 1991 in Medford, Massachusetts, and spent time early in life as a part of Boston's independent rap scene. She eventually began working on her solo music and relocated first to Miami and then to Los Angeles. In 2016, she added vocals to the J Balvin single "Safari" and opened select dates in support of Ariana Grande, all while releasing new singles of her own. The EP Nice Girls Finish Last: Cuidado surfaced in 2018 and included some of her previously released singles as well as tracks featuring guest spots from Kodak Black and Kali Uchis.
In 2020, now signed to Epic, BIA released a few tracks that had a slightly harder edge, "Free BIA (First Day Out)" and the lurching, hypnotic "Cover Girl." Both songs were later featured on her second EP, For Certain, issued in December of that year. A video for the EP's "Whole Lotta Money" was released the next April, and following the song's viral success, a remix with Nicki Minaj appeared in July, reaching the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. The track earned her a nomination for Best Breakthrough Song at the 2021 MTV VMAs. In addition, BIA's reworked version of her track "Skate" was featured in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs tune-in promotions.
In 2022, BIA teamed with rapper J. Cole for the single "London," which peaked at number 62 on the Billboard charts. That year, she also appeared on tracks with Tommy Genesis, Snakehips, and a remix of Minaj's number one hit "Super Freaky Girl" that also featured Katie Got Bandz, Akbar V, and others. She also guested on "Bamba," by German rapper Luciano, which hit number one in several countries. In March 2023, BIA issued the solo single "Sixteen." "I'm That Bitch," a collaboration with Timbaland, soon followed, and the song arrived on Really Her, which also featured Juicy J and Swizz Beatz. An expanded International Deluxe edition included several more guests such as Fivio Foreign, Giggs, Pa Salieu, and Luciano. In 2024, BIA appeared on songs by DJ Bliss ("808") and Lebra Jolie ("Yeah"). She also made an appearance on the Bad Boys 4 soundtrack, collaborating with JID on the song "LIGHTS OUT."
