With such a rapid rise and a relentless stream of critical and commercial hits, it’s clear that Lil Baby is one of the greatest modern success stories in hip-hop. He has seen widespread critical acclaim from the likes of GQ and Vanity Fair and has graced the covers of Rolling Stone and NME. The Bigger Picture was nominated for two Grammy’s (Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song). To date, Baby’s catalog reached 22 billion global streams, scored 8 #1 songs at Urban Radio, won the BET Award for Best New Artist, named Vevo’s Top Performing Hip-Hop Artist of 2020, named MVP on Rap Caviar, and won the top award of Global Artist of the Year at the Apple Music Awards. My Turn held 14 records simultaneously on The Billboard Hot 100 and Lil Baby has recently surpassed musical titans Prince and Paul McCartney among others in Billboard Hot 100 hits in his young 3-year career. Last June as the nation protested, Lil Baby dropped a powerful record “ The Bigger Picture” articulating frustration, confusion, and a call to stand up for something much bigger than himself. At just 26 years old, he is unapologetically himself, speaking his truth in his lyrics and that connects him to listeners like no other. In February 2020, he released My Turn, which entered The Billboard 200 at #1, hovered in the Top 5 for 14 weeks, and then returned to the #1 selling album of any genre in 2020. Lil Baby has been one of the most dominant and critically acclaimed names in rap since his first release in 2017.
