About Lil Baby
In 2018, Atlanta bred, Grammy award-winning artist Lil Baby (Quality Control Music / Capitol Records) rose to mainstream prominence when he released his debut album, Harder Than Hard, which entered No. 3 on the Billboard 200 during its opening week. Baby’s popularity soared when he notched his first Hot 100 top 10 record, “Yes Indeed,” with Drake and collaborated with Gunna on their joint album Drip Harder. The collaborative project kept Baby’s momentum intact, as he earned his second top-ten single with “Drip Too Hard” and “Drip Harder” debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. “Drip Too Hard” is now certified diamond.
2020 was the year Lil Baby reached new heights in his career, achieving superstar status with the release of his seminal album, My Turn. The star-laden album featuring Gunna, 42 Dugg, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Wayne, Moneybagg Yo, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez earned Baby his first Billboard 200 No. 1 spot and became the best-selling album of the year, surpassing even pop titan Taylor Swift. The 7X platinum project held the No. 1 position for five weeks and produced game-changing singles, including the powerful protest song “The Bigger Picture.” This song, born during the peak of the Black Lives Matter movement after the tragic killing of George Floyd, earned Baby multiple Grammy nominations, including Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. That year, Baby graced the cover of Billboard’s R&B / Hip-Hop Power Players and Rolling Stone for his triumphant wins.
The following year, Baby teamed up with Lil Durk for their collaborative album The Voice of the Heroes, which earned him his second No. 1 album. In 2021, Baby won his first Grammy for his appearance on Kanye West’s “Hurricane,” a significant achievement that solidified his position in the industry. The song won Best Melodic Rap Performance, a category that recognizes artists who excel in blending melody and rap, showcasing Baby’s versatility and talent.
Baby’s third and fourth albums, (2022) It’s Only Me and (2024) WHAM, have etched him in rarified air and sealed him two more No. 1 albums, giving him four consecutive Billboard 200 chart-topping releases. Baby is now the sixth act to score 150 hits on the Hot 100, after Drake, Taylor Swift, Future, Lil Wayne, and Ye. For his career, he has amassed 30 million albums sold, 47 RIAA-certified platinum records, 45 RIAA-certified gold records, and over 75 billion global streams. This year, My Turn, which reaches its fifth anniversary, was crowned the top rap album of the 21st century and eighth overall across all genres.
Along with being a perennial hitmaker, Baby’s business prowess is second to none. He heads his label, Glass Window Entertainment, which is home to burgeoning star Rylo Rodriguez. Baby’s commanding leadership, entrancing lyricism, and cerebral ability to make hits have solidified his position as the leading voice of the new generation ahead of his upcoming album, Dominique.
About Loe Shimmy
In a crowded Florida Hip-Hop scene, Loe Shimmy has been putting on for his city while actively setting himself apart from his contemporaries through his strained delivery, charismatic raps & expressive incorporation of melodies into his otherwise grimy sound. Shimmy is fresh off a career-minting year with the release of his latest project Nardy World, which included the Brent Faiyaz on the remix of hit track “For Me” (50M+ Streams), marking his Billboard Hot 100 debut (Debuted #78). Nardy World follows his Zombieland 2.6 project, the deluxe version of March’s Billboard-charting Zombieland 2 album. He also recently wrapped runs touring with Sexyy Red on her Sexyy Red 4 President Tour and Rob49 and Skilla Baby on their Vultures Eat The Most Tour this summer. “Nardy World’ is dedicated to my brother, Nardy, who lost his life to gun violence,” Loe Shimmy says. “I put a lot of emotions and a lot of feeling into this tape.” Since dropping his breakthrough project Z end in 2022, which was led by the Drake-approved track “Tina”, Loe Shimmy has been on a rapid ascent, collaborating with Florida mainstays like Kodak Black (“Get Away”) and Luh Tyler (“Santa” & “A Day In The Noya”). After a performance at Rolling Loud last year and collaborations with Veeze (“Dirty Soda Junkie”), BLP KOSHER (“Jay-Z”), and Luh Tyler (“Aretha Franklin”), Loe Shimmy is now making a name for himself as one of Florida’s most noteworthy new talents. Continuing his hot streak with each release by emphasizing his guttural cadence and knack for reflective storytelling, he has his eyes set on solidifying himself as an essential artist coming out of his home state’s highly competitive rap scene. Earning him his official debut on the Billboard and Apple charts, as well as direct support from Drake on IG, Zombieland 2 was a clear-cut testament to Loe Shimmy’s growing stature and distinct talents that have set him apart from the rest of the Florida pack: a unique ability to flex while also remaining mindful of the struggles he had to overcome to get to this point.
