Contemporary R&B vocalist Bahja Rodriguez joined
the OMG Girlz at the age of 12. Though the pop-R&B group, co-developed by
Xscape's Tameka Cottle, released several singles and went on some high-profile tours, they split in March 2015, before they were able to issue an album. Rodriguez quickly landed on her feet as an independent solo artist and had a handful of singles -- including "Jealous Type," "Lipstick," and "Next One" -- out by the end of 2015. Stylistically, these tracks were in the sleek, understated realm of
Jhené Aiko and
Tinashe. Additionally, Rodriguez released It Gets Better, a seven-track EP that featured
Jacob Latimore on "Ride or Die." ~ Andy Kellman
