As distinct as he is today, BabyChiefDoIt’s first raps were a Frankensteinian masterpiece of cap. Using an instrumental from Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red, he recorded lyrics from 22Gz’s “Suburban” before playing the track for his impressed friends. While he knew the lyrics weren’t his, he got the reaction he wanted. But he found something more enriching than the art of deception. “I just remember playing it back, and I just liked to hear my voice over this beat,” he says. “And that feeling never left.” Neither did his audience.
