BIA is Really Her: Boston-born, L.A.-based rapper BIA brings the Really Her tour to her new hometown this week, and she’s joined by two other awesome female hip-hop stars — Lakeyah and Lebra Jolie. “BIA’s bars are powered by her hard-won self-assurance,” reads her bio. “The Boston-bred platinum international music star has hustled for years to create her own brand of narratively rich and emotional music, and though she has all eyes on her now, she possessed the same confidence even when nobody was watching.” Now, people are watching.
“That conviction informs her Timbaland-produced new single, ‘I’M THAT BITCH,’ as well as two more show-stopping singles on the way,” it continues. “BIA originally came up in Boston, and at 14, she was hanging around battle rappers in the studio. Before long, she opened on tours for Ariana Grande and Pusha T. She generated even more momentum with the EP For Certain, her Epic Records debut in December 2020. Come July 2021, she’d landed Nicki Minaj for a ‘Whole Lotta Money’ remix. The record went 2x Platinum and became BIA’s second Hot 100 hit, peaking at No. 16. Now, BIA is building an empire beyond music. She fronted the campaign for a clothing collaboration between Diddy’s Sean John and UK-based Missguided. Rihanna tapped her to perform at Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3. BIA even repurposed her For Certain track ‘Skate’ for the 2021 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. This was all before launching her Beauty for Certain cosmetics line, as well as collaborations with Jordan Brand, Foot Locker and KISS Nails. She also performed at the NBA pre-All-Star Game and Spotify’s First Ever Feeling Myself Fashion Show in 2023. Most recenyl Now, she’s laying the foundation for a boundless future, with a vision for singular greatness.”
BIA is Really Her: The event takes place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 4 at the Belasco.
