Though Atlanta-based Raq baby named his 2025 album I NEVER GAVE AF, his 2026 surprise release Still Spillin is filled with his most empathetic and emotional tracks to date. “Free My Daddy,” as its title suggests, finds Raq reflecting on his pop’s influence: “Free my daddy, he had the first trap spot that I seen jumping/Work hard for this shit, I came from zero, seen hella shit like Jumanji.” Though the MC has made his money by rapping, he knows not everyone’s so lucky: “Told my bro to just stay down, it’s different ways to get money/Just know when you get that bag, everybody gonna move funny.” On “Break Thru,”” he explains why he, too, is still drawn to the life that has brought him so much trauma. Raq baby employs a singsong flow modeled after ATL icons like Young Thug and Lil Baby as he raps, “Yeah, I know I be tweakin’ sometimes/I just need someone to understand me, I be ducking gunfire.”
