Lil Baby

A lot of songs I'm kind of singing and rapping.

I've grown, and my passion for music has grown. I've become more advanced and I've enhanced my vocabulary. All around artist development.

I was telling people like 'My Dawg' gon' be the song that get me out there. I knew it.

The rap game is kinda crazy, so I go with the flow but make sure that I cover my bases and do whatever to make sure I'm good no matter what.

I used to always be in Atlanta, chilling. I didn't really have as much to do. So I would gamble as a hobby. Now I'd rather go into the studio and try to make me a hit.

The first project, I made 16 songs and put 12 of them on the mixtape.

I just want to be that to my children. The ultimate father.

I don't really have a writing process. I don't write at all but, honestly, I feel like it's a modern-day writing because everything is technology and if I go in there and freestyle and I keep it, I feel like I wrote that. If I go in there and fix it, it's almost like something I wrote.

I like music, I listened to all rappers; people like Jeezy, Yo Gotti, T.I.

I done paid Gunna to write my songs. I never put the songs out but like when I first started rapping I used to pay him like $100 like 'I'ma give you a $100 write something for me so I can try to learn to go in and record it.'

I can't really describe my sound.

I grew up listening to everybody.

Like people coming up to me like, 'Nobody ever told you that you look like Lil Baby?' But I'll be like, nah. Or like, somebody told me that. I'll never just say, it's me.

I'm used to having money and the stuff I do, but it's more of how I'm doing it now. I walk outside and people know me, and I really get paid for shows.

I always knew 'My Dawg' would be a hit, but I didn't even know what a hit was. When I made the song I knew it sounded hard.

I never knew anything about rapping.

Gunna ain't never wrote no song for me. He just showed me how to rap.

I'm a rapper but I'm more of a hustler.

I'm changing every day as far as this rap thing. I'm learning new things. I'm getting bigger by the day.

Gunna was the second person I ever made a song with.

I got more songs with Gunna than anybody - that's like the only person who I'm around!

The Migos, like anybody I ever been in the studio with, like an influence on my rap. I take this from him and him and him and, you know, put it with myself and make it work like that.

To me, I'm on a whole different level of rapping.

I feel like whatever is meant is meant. I feel like this is already written.

I just got an ear for the kind of things I like.
