The Rise of DaBaby

from In The Groove · host Marcus Mwangi

DaBaby’s journey from the streets of Charlotte to the top of the charts is nothing short of wild. It all started with mixtapes like 'Nonfiction' and 'Baby Talk,' but things really took off with 'Blank Blank' in 2018, catching the eye of South Coast Music Group and eventually leading to that seven-figure deal with Interscope. His debut album 'Baby on Baby' in 2019 hit hard, especially with the track 'Suge' smashing into the Billboard Hot 100. Then came 'Kirk,' another chart-topping album, and the unstoppable hit 'Rockstar' featuring Roddy Ricch, which ruled the summer of 2020. DaBaby’s got a flow that’s fast, sharp, and relentless, making him a standout in the rap game. But with the fame came controversy, including some major backlash in 2021 that didn’t slow him down. Whether dropping hits, like 'Levitating' with Dua Lipa, or building up other artists through his label Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment, DaBaby is always in the mix, making sure his name stays in the conversation.
