Deebaby’s ascent from Houston upstart to one of the hottest MCs in the entire state, let alone the country, has been a steady climb. He’s honed in on a consistent release schedule, dropping one or two albums a year since he first emerged in 2021. Deebaby’s versatility has been his calling card, from the DJ Screw-inspired Junkie Mode in 2023 to his 2024 collab with Mg Lil Bubba. Early in 2025, he shared Ms. Salazar, which paid tribute to the woman who raised him. His second album of the year, Until This Is Over., is a memoir of heartbreak and indecision. No matter the topic, the Mexican American rapper’s honesty and vulnerability shine through. On opener “Blue Pill, Red Pill,” Deebaby is stuck between a relationship and independence. He asks: “What do you do when you love someone?/When you want to love her too, but you can’t trust no one?” On “Pain Gon Come,” he waxes reflective over a mournful piano melody and soaring guitar notes, crooning about the difficulties of fatherhood when he was raised without such a figure in his life. Regardless of romantic or familial dramas, Deebaby prioritizes the unvarnished truth.
