Lil Baby BIO
Since being released from prison and learning how to rap in 2016, Lil Baby hasn’t looked back. With early support from Quality Control Music, the Atlanta rapper skyrocketed to stardom with projects like ‘Harder Than Ever,’ ‘Drip Harder’ (with Gunna) and the chart-topping ‘My Turn.’ Counting Drake, J. Cole and Kanye West among his fans and collaborators, Lil Baby has something few rappers possess: mainstream popularity, the love of the streets and legitimate mic skills. He’s also proven himself as a leader of his generation, visiting The White House with George Floyd’s family and performing his powerful protest song “The Bigger Picture” at the 2021 Grammys.
