From babies to albums, the past weekend was packed with new arrivals.<\/p>\n
More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n On Thursday (Nov. 13), Cardi B<\/a> announced that she and her boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, welcomed their first child together, a baby boy. While his name is still unconfirmed, Cardi\u2019s baby boy joins her three kids with ex-husband Offset: 7-year-old daughter Kulture, 4-year-old son Wave, and 1-year-old daughter Blossom. Fittingly, the Bronx star used \u201cHello,\u201d a triumphant cut from her new Am I the Drama?<\/a> LP, to announce the news<\/a>, which also alluded to her imminent Little Miss Drama world tour kickoff (Feb. 11, 2026).<\/p>\n While Bardi expanded her family, her Drama collaborator, Summer Walker<\/a>, expanded her discography. On Friday (Nov. 14), the ATL R&B superstar unleashed her third studio album, Finally Over It<\/a>, a conclusion to the trilogy she began with her 2019 debut studio album, Over It. Featuring an army of guest stars \u2014 including Anderson .Paak, Teddy Swims, Doja Cat, Latto, Sexyy Red, Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, Monaleo, GloRilla, Mariah the Scientist, and more \u2014 Finally Over It also flips classics from Beyonc\u00e9 (2003\u2019s \u201cYes\u201d) and Mariah Carey (1995\u2019s \u201cAlways Be My Baby\u201d).<\/p>\n In less celebratory news, Tyler, the Creator<\/a> was forced to reschedule this year\u2019s edition of Camp Flog Gnaw, which was slated to take over the Dodger Stadium Grounds last weekend (Nov. 15-16), due to an \u201cincoming atmospheric rain storm.\u201d<\/a> The festival\u2019s lineup will evolve to accommodate the new dates, but Tyler himself will still take the stage mere weeks after scoring five\u00a02026 Grammy nominations<\/a>, including album of the year and best rap album with\u00a0Chromakopia\u00a0and best alternative music album with\u00a0Don\u2019t Tap the Glass. Camp Flog Gnaw 2025 will now take place next weekend (Nov. 22-23).<\/p>\n With Fresh Picks,\u00a0Billboard\u00a0aims to highlight some of the best and most interesting new sounds across R&B and hip-hop \u2014 from Gabriel Jacoby\u2019s soulful new joint to a standout track from Wale\u2019s latest album. Be sure to check out this week\u2019s Fresh Picks in our Spotify playlist below.<\/p>\n South Carolina native Gabriel Jacoby has finally shared his debut project \u2014 and the title track is an instant contender for one of the year\u2019s grooviest R&B songs. Centered on Elie Rizk\u2019s earthy, D\u2019Angelo-evoking production, \u201cGutta Child\u201d<\/a> finds Jacoby crooning of his \u201cdirty south\u201d roots. In the same breath that he breaks down his origins, he also finds time to dirty-mack, singing, \u201cIf you ain\u2019t gon\u2019 be my woman\/ I at least need you und\u0435rstand\/ You ain\u2019t ever gon\u2019 find another man like me,\u201d as Tom Levesque\u2019s punchy trumpets keep up the funk. \u2014 KYLE DENIS<\/p>\n GENA stands for \u201cGod Energy, Naturally Amazing,\u201d and the duo consists of Dallas native Liv.e on vocals and Detroit native Karriem Riggins on production. Last week, they dropped off\u00a0the first single and video<\/a>\u00a0for their upcoming\u00a0The Pleasure Is Yours project,\u00a0which will make sense as an album title once you hit play because we most certainly aren\u2019t worthy of such a jam. \u2014 ANGEL DIAZ<\/p>\n Co-written and produced by Alissia, \u201cHypnotic Night\u201d<\/a> pulses with sultry R&B vibes, while EARTHGANG\u2019s playful, experimental verses push the track into a hypnotic, psychedelic space. Dylan Wiggins, Eian Parker, and Olu Fann help shape the dreamy instrumentation and seductive rhythms, creating a soundscape that feels like a night of desire and indulgence. Now out on all platforms, lush synths, guitars and entrancing percussion mirror the intoxicating emotional highs of the evening, making for a reckless, mesmerizing celebration of love, lust and indulgence that lingers long after the music fades.\u00a0\u2014 CHRISTOPHER CLAXTON<\/p>\n Following a string of singles, Brooklyn rap princess Lola Brooke has finally unveiled her latest project, Iight Bet! A seven-song set with just one collaboration (N3WYRKLA appears on the penultimate track), Iight Bet packs a hearty punch in a short amount of time \u2014 and \u201cPain\u201d<\/a> is one of its strongest offerings. Built around a sample of Mary J. Blige\u2019s classic \u201cNo More Drama\u201d that quickly morphs into a stuttering house beat, \u201cPain\u201d finds Lola delivering textbook affirmations for women who want to keep a do-nothing man out of their lives for good. \u201cTryna nut inside a b\u2014h but don\u2019t got nothin\u2019 to lose\/ Why I ain\u2019t giving n\u2014as nothin\u2019, he got something to prove\/ I got too much money to be fucking with you\/ I got plenty options, there\u2019s a 100 of you,\u201d she spits. \u2014 K.D.<\/p>\n We highlighted\u00a0the lead single\u00a0from Sincere and Thelonious\u2019 collaborative Where the Wind Blows mixtape back in May<\/a>, and the project is finally here. Released on Nov. 11, \u201cDidn\u2019t I<\/a>\u201d immediately stood out to me, especially where he flips raps about the Fantastic Four during the second verse. \u2014\u00a0A.D.<\/p>\n Chicago rising talent MIRIAH. delivers a moody, slow-burning standout with \u201cMaybe I Do,\u201d<\/a> co-written with Matthew Wrothem and produced by Mat1k and TeeUppZay, whose hazy synths and understated percussion give the track its intimate glow. MIRIAH.\u2019s feather-light vocal drifts between confidence and hesitation, capturing the push-and-pull of wanting to let someone in while still guarding her peace. She sketches the tension early, a magnetic pull toward someone whose intensity feels both thrilling and disarming, before softening into the pre-chorus, where desire edges past fear. With its cinematic production and emotionally precise writing, \u201cMaybe I Do\u201d positions MIRIAH. as an emerging R&B voice who can turn vulnerability into something beautiful.\u00a0\u2014 C.C.<\/p>\n Wale returned with his Everything Is A Lot album, and Folarin goes deep while looking inward and examining the crossroads of life. On album standout \u201cPower and Problems,\u201d<\/a> the D.C. rap veteran juggles the duality of solitude, which finds him grappling with the power of being able to survive on this journey alone, but also the limitations due to the emotional damage that comes with it. \u201cMy power, I\u2019ll never need no one\/ My problem, I\u2019ll never need no one\/ My trauma, I\u2019ll never be comfortabl\u0435,\u201d he vulnerably raps on the hook.\u00a0\u2014 MICHAEL SAPONARA<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
