Honey Bxby is dominating the airwaves with her hit single "Touchin'."
iHeartRadio's latest On The Verge Artist recently dropped the deluxe version of her debut EP 3 Words, 8 Letters via Rebirth/ART@WAR/Atlantic Records. Her 11-track project holds her breakthrough single "Touchin'," which contains a sample of Busta Rhymes "Put Ya Hands Where My Eyes Can See." Honey Bxby recruited Busta Bus to throw down a verse for their own "Touchin' (Remix)." She also tapped rapper Kalii and singer Capella Grey for separate remixes of her hit single, which also appear on the deluxe project.
"I had no co-signs," Honey Bxby recently told Angela Yee. "The Busta co-sign I got that like two months ago like that's fresh — brand new. I've been signed for a year, and I've just been building. I think what's different from me to a lot of people is I'm really starting from the bottom."
Honey Bxby connected with Busta Rhymes earlier this year. She posted a few moments from their studio session on Instagram. That's not the only major artist she's linked up with. She told Yee that she had an incredible experience with Kehlani at a strip club.
"I love Kehlani," she said. "I think the craziest thing that happened to me was going from being this really big Kehlani fan and like really admiring her and her work and like her story period to like, you know, a week ago we sitting in the strip club vibing out. It's like 'Is this really my life right now? What the hell is going on?!'"
The Asbury Park, N.J. native has been writing and recording her own music since she was in high school. Honey Bxby released her debut single "Sweet Heat" in 2020. Since then, she has consistently delivered numerous singles like "Real" and "Be Be." Her first project 3 Words, 8 Letters arrived last June. In addition to "Touchin'," Honey Bxby also dropped tracks like "Get Your Lick Back" and "P*ssy Power."
