On “The Bigger Picture,” Lil Baby shows solidarity with the protests calling for justice across the nation
In form but not style, Baby is part of a lineage of Atlanta solo stars who become a time capsule for everything the city is, lacks, and can be. For three years, the Quality Control rapper carved out a viewpoint that was workman-like in nature. By Baby’s own admission, if Young Thug hadn’t paid him to rap, he’d likely still be in the streets.
“The Bigger Problem” isn’t a protest song, it’s a song shaped by protest. Recently, Atlanta City Councilman Antonio Brown took toto share a story of walking with Baby. “We marched down Mitchell Street with our fist in the air yelling – No Justice, No Peace as he leaned over and whispered in my ear, ‘this is what matters,'” he wrote. From a commercial perspective, Baby didn’t need to release “The Bigger Picture” to continue the startlingly dominant run he’s currently on.
