Artist of the Week
DaBaby

Week 42 of 2019




DaBaby

DaBaby is not a one-hit wonder. After making his first breakthrough in 2019, he proved himself to be a hitmaker as he released one successful single after another. Be it his own song or another artist's where he's a featured guest, it soared high on the charts and became popular with the crowd.

Some of his big hits included "Suge", "Intro", and "Bob" from his first two studio albums. Camila Cabello's single "My Oh My" where he spits his rhymes also climbed up to the top 20, not just in the U.S. Billboard rankings but also in the singles charts all over the globe.

The 28-year-old Charlotte lyricist has also got recognitions from heavyweight names like Jay-Z and P. Diddy. "Suge" is named one of Jay-Z's favorite songs of 2019 while Diddy heaped praise on the "Kirk" rapper and crowned him the hottest star in the rap game right now.

DaBaby kept his momentum going by dropping a third studio installment. However, the higher the hill, the stronger the wind blows. As soon as the new album "Blame It on Baby" was released, it became a subject of harsh criticisms by fans on the internet but the "Find My Way" rapper was undeterred.

By the end of the week, the album jumped straight to the first spot on Billboard Hot 200, proving that the mean comments didn't really represent the masses. The album marked his second No. 1 album and the single "Rockstar" peaked at the top 10 on Hot 100.

Soon after the chart rankings were revealed, he poked fun at the trolls who had been trying to discourage him with their sneers and jeers. He posted a video on Instagram, pretending to get angry and furiously slamming the trash bin before spitting on it.

"This what my trolls do to my music when they put in hard work doin all that hatin and my s**t STILL top the charts," he wrote in the caption while bragging about his latest accomplishments. He added, "Relax bro, I love y'all too.... no cap. #BlameItOnBaby."
