His hits such as "Drip Too Hard", "The Bigger Picture" and "Woah" are anthems for a generation, and with his unique flow and honest street poetry, he has secured himself a permanent place in hip-hop history. In 2020, he was named one of the "most important rappers of the year" by The New York Times, and his albums regularly reach platinum status.
Born in Atlanta in 1994, Dominique Armani Jones (his real name) came to music late in life - but his rise has been all the more impressive. After first attracting attention with his mixtape "Perfect Timing" in 2017, he finally shot to the top with "Harder Than Ever" (2018). The single "Yes Indeed" with Drake catapulted him into the limelight.
Lil Baby is known for his melodic but powerful rap style, with which he reflects on street life, success and social grievances. He dominated the US charts with "My Turn" (2020), and songs like "Emotionally Scarred" and "Sum 2 Prove" show his versatility. But perhaps his most important song is "The Bigger Picture" - a powerful protest song against police violence and racism that not only made waves artistically, but also socially.
Its influence extends far beyond music. Lil Baby is committed to social justice, supports charitable organisations and campaigns for change in his community. Despite his success, he remains authentic, down-to-earth and musically hungry. His feature guests range from Drake to DJ Khaled to Nicki Minaj, and he sets new standards with every new release.
Even in 2025, Lil Baby remains a dominant name in hip-hop. His latest album "WHAM" shows that he has not left his success to chance. His concerts are completely sold out, his songs are on constant loop - Lil Baby is more than just a rapper. He is an icon who has changed the game. No question: Lil Baby was, is and remains one of the most important voices in hip-hop!
