American rapper Dominique Armani Jones (born December 3, 1994), better known by his stage name Lil Baby. When his mixtape Perfect Timing dropped in 2017, it catapulted him to stardom. His first studio album, 2018’s Harder Than Ever, had the top 10 single “Yes Indeed” on the Billboard Hot 100 (with Drake). In 2018, he dropped two more mixtapes: Drip Harder (with Gunna) and Street Gossip, both of which peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200.
My Turn (2020), his second studio album, is triple-platinum certified by the RIAA and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album gave rise to the top 10 Billboard Hot 100 songs “We Paid” (with 42 Dugg) and “The Bigger Picture.” The Voice of the Heroes, a joint album by Lil Baby and rapper Lil Durk, was released in 2021 and quickly became Lil Baby’s second consecutive album to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Best Hip Hop Rap Songs By Lil Baby
1. Woah
Lil Baby’s new single “Woah” was released on Quality Control Music/Motown on his own imprint, Wolf Pack Global. Following “Yes Indeed” and “Drip Too Hard” in 2018, it earned Lil Baby’s third consecutive number one on the Billboard Streaming Songs chart. Lil Baby and his massive dance team perform for the camera as automobiles do doughnuts in the background in their music video directed by Edgar Esteves.
Baby invited a large group of people, including Lil Durk, Jordan Hollywood and Lil Marlo from the QC family, Renni Rucci from the Wolfpack, and Baby’s own family and friends.
2. Drip Too Hard ft. Gunna
The brilliant energy of “Drip Too Hard” is the result of Lil Baby and Gunna finding a happy medium between their respective musical styles. Baby’s flow is often used as a blunt instrument, falling down on a beat until it gives up. Conversely, Gunna’s delivery actively seeks a supple undercurrent to swim in.
The duo often receives the uninformed criticism that they sound too similar to one other, however, this is an unfair assessment. The new song features an infectious, unmistakable connection between the two artists.
3. Ready ft. Gunna
Lil Baby and Gunna reunited for a new single, “Ready.” It was dropped on November 30, 2018, as a part of a mixtape titled Street Gossip. As the two proceed with the tried and true method of exchanging poetic flexes while keeping baguettes and vaulted ceilings in mind, the formula remains largely unchanged.
Despite the fact that this is, in many ways, his “normal” endeavour, it still seems to hit pretty damn hard. Though the mixtape failed to gain him any new followers, “Ready” proved to be as compelling as its subject.
4. Yes Indeed ft. Drake
The song, once known as “Pikachu,” was renamed “Yes Indeed” and aired on Beats 1’s OVO Sound Radio. At the beginning of the song, Drizzy raps over a beat produced by Wheezy, demonstrating a rapid flow.
Lil Baby enters the song for the second verse after a little hook and continues the strutting. In the song’s second stanza, he raps about his improved fortune while remaining true to his street rap background.
5. Close Friends ft. Gunna
That’s exactly what “Close Friends,” a song made by Turbo, is about: a relationship gone bad due to a combination of excessive spending and infidelity. Lil Baby reflects on a relationship whose ups and downs seem to parallel his own with his partner.
Above, you can see a still from Baby’s first trip to Paris, which opens the music video produced by Daps and starring Jayda Cheaves. The song “Close Friends” can be found on his 2018 project “Drip Harder,” which he made alongside Gunna.
