Lil Baby

Dominique Armani Jones (born December 3, 1994), known professionally as Lil Baby, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. He rose to prominence following the release of his 2017 mixtapes ''Harder than Hard'' and ''Too Hard'' — the former of which spawned his first ''Billboard'' Hot 100 entry with its lead single, "My Dawg." He signed with Quality Control Music, an imprint of Motown and Capitol Records to release his debut studio album ''Harder Than Ever'' (2018), which peaked at number three on the ''Billboard'' 200 and was supported by the ''Billboard'' Hot 100-top ten single "Yes Indeed" (with Drake). Later that year, he released the collaborative mixtape ''Drip Harder'' with fellow Georgia-based rapper Gunna, and his solo mixtape ''Street Gossip''; the former spawned his second top-ten single "Drip Too Hard", while the latter peaked at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200.

Lil Baby's second studio album, ''My Turn'' (2020), peaked the ''Billboard'' 200 for five weeks, received quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and became the best-selling album of that year. It spawned the hit song "We Paid" (with 42 Dugg), as well as the George Floyd protest-inspired single "The Bigger Picture"; both peaked within the top ten of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, while the latter received two nominations—Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance—at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. The following year, his collaborative album ''The Voice of the Heroes'' (2021) with Chicago rapper Lil Durk became his second project to peak the ''Billboard'' 200, while his guest appearance on Kanye West and the Weeknd's 2021 single, "Hurricane", won Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 64th Grammy Awards. His third album, ''It's Only Me'' (2022), became his third consecutive project to peak the ''Billboard'' 200 and spawned three ''Billboard'' Hot 100 top-ten entries: "California Breeze", "Forever" (featuring Fridayy), and "Real Spill". On January 3, 2025, Lil Baby released his fourth studio album, ''WHAM.''

In addition to a Grammy Award, Lil Baby has won an MTV Video Music Award, two BET Awards, and was named the all-genre Artist of the Year at the 2020 Apple Music Awards. He founded the record label Glass Window Entertainment (known previously as 4PF) as an imprint of Motown and Capitol in 2023; he has signed frequent collaborators 42 Dugg and Rylo Rodriguez.
