LIL BABY

I just want to be that to my children. The ultimate father.

Everyone has said I got my own sound.

Young Thug, he gave me all the jewels. He literally paid me to leave the neighborhood.

My story is going to be completely different than someone else's story in terms of hard work. What I might feel like is hard work, another person is dying to do.

I have an impact and people look up to me now. It's more than the money.

I'm all about giving up-and-coming people a chance.

I like music, I listened to all rappers; people like Jeezy, Yo Gotti, T.I.

Like you might love watching basketball, but that don't mean that you'll get on the court.

I ain't never had nothing good in life.

I was telling people like 'My Dawg' gon' be the song that get me out there. I knew it.

I got a boss mentality.

A lot of songs I'm kind of singing and rapping.

I've grown, and my passion for music has grown. I've become more advanced and I've enhanced my vocabulary. All around artist development.

Gunna was the second person I ever made a song with.

The first project, I made 16 songs and put 12 of them on the mixtape.

I've been through all the bad parts of the streets.

I always knew 'My Dawg' would be a hit, but I didn't even know what a hit was. When I made the song I knew it sounded hard.

I'm changing every day as far as this rap thing. I'm learning new things. I'm getting bigger by the day.

To me, I'm on a whole different level of rapping.

I just got an ear for the kind of things I like.

I got the name Lil Baby because I always hung around older dudes.

I want to be a superhero dad to where my kid feel like everything I do is nothing wrong.

The rap game is kinda crazy, so I go with the flow but make sure that I cover my bases and do whatever to make sure I'm good no matter what.

I grew up listening to everybody.

I got more songs with Gunna than anybody - that's like the only person who I'm around!
