Born Dominique Armani Jones on December 3 in 1994, Lil Baby is a trap rapper hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. If you know Atlanta, then you know there's no shortage of great artists in the "A", so it's no surprise another super talent has emerged to carry the torch. As a youngster growing up, there were always criminal elements in his surroundings, and with the allure of making money like a lot of the local criminals, it was surely going to be an uphill battle. Having little interest in scholastic achievements resulted in real concerns from his parents for what would become of his future. Like so many young urban kids in America, the hiphop music culture had a heavy influence, and the magnetic pull it had on Lil Baby would prove to be undeniable.
Pursuing a rap career was never the initial goal for Lil Baby, but his passion for making music put him on a course that far exceeded his humble beginnings. This course consisted of time spent with his bros bonding and trapping (selling drugs) to keep the money coming in. Even with some of his friends taking off with successful music careers, his only focus was his thriving street hustle. Lil Baby has always maintained a desire for music, but sometimes we become creatures of habit, and trapping was his easy way out. It didn't take long before he was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison for selling narcotics.
