DaBaby's recent fame has been fueled, in part, by an appearance at this year's BET Awards, where he performed 'Rockstar' with an actor portraying a police officer placing a knee on his neck, similar to how George Floyd died.
At the same event, which was held virtually, Ricch won album of the year and wore a Black Lives Matter shirt while performing"High Fashion" and"The Box."Here are some things to know about DaBaby, the 28-year-old rapper who is burning up the charts.DaBaby was born Jonathan Lyndale Kirk in Cleveland, but calls Charlotte, North Carolina home. Earlier in his music career, he was known as Baby Jesus.
His latest album,"Blame It On Baby," dropped in 2020, making it the rappers third album in a little over a year.Released in April, the rapper's biggest hit comes from his latest album,"Blame It On Baby." A Black Lives Matter remix of"Rockstar" was released in June in the aftermath of Floyd's death. “When you got a sound that don’t sound like nobody else and it’s brand new, you’ve got to feed it to ‘em,” he told the magazine. “You’ve got to force it on ‘em.”
Pitchfork agreed, saying"Half the album is stacked with the same regurgitated phrases and flows from earlier projects, stale the third time around; for the rest, DaBaby follows formulas other than his own."
