HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — BREAKING HITS, Inc., the AI-powered music validation marketplace connecting artists with a curated network of industry contributors, today celebrated songwriter Jerome “Rico” Phillips, a member of its artist and contributor community, on his GRAMMY-nominated songwriting contributions to Chris Brown’s Breezy (Deluxe).
Breezy (Deluxe) was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 65th GRAMMY Awards. Phillips is credited as a songwriter on the project, having contributed to standout tracks including “Till The Wheels Fall Off” and “Need You Right Here.” The recognition marks a major milestone in Phillips’ career and underscores the caliber of songwriting talent within the BREAKING HITS network.
Phillips shared the news with his community, reflecting on the journey behind the achievement:
“Look what I received in the mail today! Often times we don’t take the time to appreciate the wins — people don’t understand the sacrifices we make to make these sort of things happen. I’ll spare you the details, just know it wasn’t easy! Never stop and always believe in yourself, no matter what.”

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.
