BLAME IT ON BABY (DELUXE)

When BLAME IT ON BABY first arrived in April 2020, it was a beacon of normalcy for rap fans who’d spent the better part of 2019 enjoying DaBaby’s husky and endlessly energetic flow as displayed on two separate projects of his own and countless guest spots for peers. Four months later, BLAME IT ON BABY (DELUXE) refreshes that feeling by way of 10 new songs added to the 13 of the original. Across them, DaBaby is rapping excitedly—as he is wont to do—but also singing in a way that may surprise even longtime fans (“TROUBLE” and the Young Thug collaboration “BLIND”). Along with Thugger, DELUXE features guest appearances from Billion Dollar Baby affiliates Stunna 4 Vegas and Rich Dunk, along with maybe the only other MC of the era to travel as far down the road to rap stardom quickly as DaBaby has, Gunna.
