For most of their careers, Thomas Van Musser, Rawcel, and R1CKONE have been the names in the credits, not the names on the marquee. As producers, songwriters, and studio architects, the trio’s fingerprints run through records for the Black Eyed Peas, will.i.am, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Flo Rida, DJ Snake, Scott Storch, Zendaya, T.I., Macy Gray, and Latto. A Grammy sits on one of their shelves. So does an Emmy. And yet, until recently, almost none of it had their own names attached to the front of a record.
That changed with the arrival of The Broshigeez.
The group’s debut single, “JUMP JUMP,” landed at No. 33 on Billboard’s Rhythm chart and climbed to No. 5 on the iTunes Pop Singles Chart, a fast, unmistakable signal that three producers stepping out from behind the board had no trouble finding an audience on their own terms.
It is a coming-out story two decades in the making. Van Musser, Rawcel, and R1CKONE built their friendship and their careers in parallel in Los Angeles, moving through sessions, writing rooms, and label meetings long before they considered making a record that was theirs alone. What they built instead was fluency: an ear for what makes a record cross over, and the relationships to prove it.
Now they are pointing that fluency at something new. The Broshigeez call it World Hop, a genre built on hip-hop’s rhythm and storytelling, opened up to the instruments, languages, and cultural textures of the rest of the world. It is less a sound than an argument: that hip-hop was always a global language, and it is time the records caught up to that fact.
“We spent our careers helping other artists tell their stories,” the group has said of the project. “World Hop is ours.”
The follow-up single, “FIESTA MUNDIAL,” carries that argument further and has been submitted for Grammy consideration in the Best Melodic Rap Performance category, another marker that the industry is taking the group’s solo turn as seriously as its production catalog.
What makes The Broshigeez worth watching isn’t just the charts, though the charts help make the case. It’s the premise underneath them: that a genre built on unity, culture, and connection can also be a commercial one. Three producers who spent years turning other artists into hitmakers are now testing that theory on themselves, and so far, the numbers are on their side.

The Las Vegas–born singer-songwriter-producer follows up “Sex & Desire” with a sexually-charged party anthem that doubles as a confidence manifesto — and it’s exactly what summer’s been missing. LOS ANGELES — BREAKING HITS is proud to spotlight Rosa, who returns July 17 with “PDA,” the follow-up to her sultry breakout single “Sex & Desire.”
Where “Sex & Desire” played it warm and cinematic — a flirty summer fling set to sensual pop-R&B — “PDA” turns the volume all the way up. Think windows down on the Strip, girlfriends in the passenger seat, bass rattling the frame. It’s the record built for the exact moment the night stops being polite.
“PDA is pure Las Vegas energy,” Rosa says of the track. “PDA” is the song built for a Las Vegas night out — the one that takes over the club, gets the whole room dancing, and makes it feel completely normal to be loud, sexual, and unapologetic about wanting exactly what you want, even on a topic women are so often told to stay quiet about.
That fearlessness is the throughline of Rosa’s whole catalog. Raised in Las Vegas and now based in Los Angeles, the singer, songwriter, and producer has spent the last few years building a sound that refuses to sit still — pop, hip-hop, R&B, and world influences colliding into something unmistakably her own. A first-generation American with Iranian and Italian roots, and a Berklee-trained producer who taught herself piano before she ever set foot in a studio, Rosa writes from the same place every time: the tension between glamour and loneliness, confidence and vulnerability, that she says defines growing up in Vegas.
“PDA” takes modern dating tropes and flips them into a list of unfiltered, raunchy demands — funny, bold, and completely unbothered. It’s less a love song than a declaration. As Rosa puts it, the track “is more than provocation — it’s confidence and comfort in her own skin.”
The single arrives as a preview of Rosa’s debut album, Slow Burn, due this October. Where “PDA” is all swagger, the album promises the fuller picture: the euphoric highs and the morning-after reckonings of a record built around chemistry you know is bad for you and stay in anyway. It’s a theme Rosa says applies just as much to her career as to any relationship — years of quiet, relentless work with no shortcuts, building toward the one moment that makes it all worth it.
