This week’s Fresh Face Friday artist is BabyDrill, the latest branch off the 4L family tree built by 21 Savage & Young Nudy.

For Black Music Month, we feature the latest up-and-coming artists making waves throughout the music business, the streets, and the charts. When it comes to authentic gangsta rap there are few artists really living their raps. Most of these rappers are actors wearing costume jewelry while claiming a city they aren’t really from. For BabyDrill it’s the complete opposite he is living his raps and you can feel it in every song. A year ago he exploded onto the scene with “32 Freestyle”. To this day the song has Atlanta and the South in general in a chokehold and has amassed over 4M views on youtube.

His slick delivery and raspy flow ride the beat so well you forget he’s even talking about felony assault and murder. If the style is familiar to you it’s because he hails from the 4L, PDE, and Slaughter Gang family tree rooted by 21 Savage and Young Nudy.

BabyDrill recently had his first major performance at this year’s HOT 107.9 Birthday Bash and the hometown went crazy for him. If you haven’t checked out BabyDrill you can peep his latest single “Slight Dub” featuring Savage and Nudy below.
