Before the beat in a song even drops, DaBaby is already there, going full-speed with a unique flow that’s always playing with pace, timing, and cadence. The North Carolina MC likes to stuff as many words as possible into his bars, using multitracking effects to make a new line begin before the previous one ends. He can be menacing and boastful, but he’s at his best when sharing insights about the loss of his father and raising his daughter. And while DaBaby usually raps over sparse trap drums and heavy bass drops, he can knock guest verses out of the park whether he’s chilling with Post Malone or jousting with Megan Thee Stallion.
