Album Review: DaBaby - Blame It On Baby

DaBaby has undoubtedly been one of the biggest artists out of 2019 and you can tell the superstar from North Carolina is looking to carry every ounce of momentum that he has into 2020 with his new album “Blame it on Baby”.

DaBaby kicks the album off in his ignorant fashion that he is renowned for. His first song “Can’t Stop” is almost a kick in the face from DaBaby to all his haters where he tells them he isn’t going anywhere and that he knows how frustrated everyone must be to watch him dominate the game, the track almost serves as a warning to other artists to get used to seeing his face everywhere and that nothing is changing anytime soon. DaBaby continues his usual ignorant and bouncy style throughout the first few tracks on the song that include features such as Quavo on “Pick Up” and Future on “Lightskin Sh*t”.

DaBaby begins to show us a bit more of his vulnerable side as he did on his last album “KIRK” with songs such as “Sad Sh*t” where DaBaby completely transfers the flow to even have him singing and pouring his heart out over the beat while still switching back to his confident character that he portrays himself as to the world. “Sad Sh*t” slows down the pace of the project slightly and leads us to tracks such as “Rockstar” further on in the album which features Roddy Rich with his melodic million-dollar vocals. I did enjoy the combination of these two artists on a  track and would be eager to see this again in the future.

DaBaby has some of the biggest acts in the world right now featured on this project with artists such as Roddy Rich, A Boogie, and Future all showering their lyrics across certain tracks. Personally, if there was one feature that was an absolute standout it would have to be Megan Thee Stallion. Megan featured alongside Ashanti on the track “Nasty”  and delivered a standout verse under London’s seductive production. I wouldn’t be surprised if this track turns out to be one of the most streamed songs from the album.

DaBaby has delivered a thorough project, it had a good taste of his ignorant and confident styles while mixing it up with his more unprotected side and showing more of himself and his story to his audience. In regards to his last two projects I wouldn’t say “Blame it on Baby” is better but this is just another stepping stone for DaBaby to take over the world and “Blame it on Baby” is just another warning to everyone else that it is about to happen.
