Lil Baby

Some artists define a genre; Lil Baby defines a generation. Born Dominique Jones in 1994 in Atlanta, he grew up navigating the streets, dropping out of Booker T. Washington High School, and turning to drug dealing before a two-year prison sentence at age 19. Upon release in 2017, he committed to music, launching his career with Perfect Timing, featuring collaborations with Lil Yachty, Young Thug, Gunna, and production by 808 Mafia. He quickly rose to prominence with albums like Harder Than Ever (2018), Street Gossip (2018), My Turn (2020), and It’s Only Me, delivering hits such as “Yes Indeed,” “Drip Too Hard,” “Woah,” and the socially conscious anthem “The Bigger Picture.” Known for his distinctive flow, high-quality production, and ability to turn personal experience into universal storytelling, Lil Baby has tied Prince and Paul McCartney for the most Billboard Hot 100 hits, becoming one of the youngest artists to reach 100+ entries. With Grammy Awards, record-breaking streams, and a cultural impact that transcends music, Lil Baby has cemented himself as a defining voice in modern rap and hip-hop.
