would peak at number six and number four on the billboard charts and he would
land at number one with the second studio album my turn

pick up a bet award for best new artist in 2019 and would work with the likes of
lil yachty young thug gunna young scooter lil dirk the baby

before little baby would clock in over 10 million instagram followers 2.8
million followers on twitter and almost 4 million youtube subscribers

reason that there's no before their famous footage on little baby the dude

he was raised by a single mother and he was born into poverty with his two
sisters and one brother now he lived off food stamps and
government assistance than his teenage years he also dealt with many arrests
including ones for burglary and possession of dangerous drops
there were also two more marijuana possession charges and one more theft
charge which put him in jail for a total of two years
it was during his time in jail when quality control musics pee and coach gay
well they encouraged baby to pursue a career in rapping and uh from there his
career would explode and continue to snowball i mean for this year 2020
he's the artist with the most certifications we're talking 22 already
damn the industry like like way different from the street right you know
i'm saying but me being actually still in the
streets like i ain't there's no energy and he did it all without a single face
tattoo which was actually a calculated decision i'll explain a little later

hey be sure to subscribe and hit that bell boom
i'm from
little baby was born dominique jones on december 3rd 1994
and he grew up in southwest atlanta specifically in zone four
like from the moon like from good luck if
you probably could get four from the good news and like like that
like i just sleep on the dirt
dominic was raised by a single mother alongside two sisters now his dad was
never part of his life and his mom she would struggle to make ends meet
now the toughest part dominic remembers is one day coming over from school to
see that his family they were getting evicted
now little baby he spent time with a lot of the older heads out on the street
when he was a kid and when he wouldn't answer his mom's
calls well she would go out and check on him
and the older friends will they would tease him they would call him a baby
and because of this well the name stock hence little baby
now rap was a big influence on his life early on he listened to rappers like
young jeezy yogaty and t.i artists that he still listens to this
day i look up to g you know everybody that love him jesus
dope boy like own it no i'm saying he also came up in
the same neighborhood and went to grade school and high school with his lifelong
friend jeffrey lamar williams aka young thug
there's also quality control music co-founder prp thomas
who came from the same neighborhood as did the co-founder kevin coach k
lee who's a longtime friend of little babies then we also posted this
throwback photo with quavo with the caption that read
been my end since i was trapping out the bando for real
years before us stepped in a booth at just 12 or 13 years old he started
sipping lean a habit that would eventually become an addiction that
would cost him around twenty thousand dollars a month
now he was also just 12 years old when he first found himself behind bars for
the very first time down in jail third time 12. his first
time in juvenile detention will dominique he was locked up for about 10
days for a receiver called burglary or maybe it was attempted robbery he had
the streets and he became known as a dice aficionado
now while an excellent student academically well he would often get
into trouble and eventually after bouncing around to a bunch of different
schools well he dropped out of high school now
they even sent him to an alternative school for some time
but he decided it wasn't worth his time all he had ever envisioned for his
future was that he'd be some kind of drug dealer
and he was known locally for his gambling skills and his swagger
now baby he was often encouraged by his peers to pursue a career in hip-hop
around this time one of my bros marlow he like
you might as well right you got it and also coach k light for years like six
seven six years so i'm even on my ass like you
need to rap you got to swear you got the image you got the story just rap just
rap just rap but little baby he never saw rap as a true possibility
he told the new york times i've been through all the bad parts of the streets
i've been to prison 17 years old level 5 prison the worst
kind you can go to shout out i done watched my bros die
i've been through all that i never had nothing good in life the
little baby's most recent prison sentence it began with a case he caught
at 16 or 17 years old but failing to turn his life around
now originally his lawyer he got him into a special program where the
sentence he would serve only would have to last for about six
months to a year but that special program
it was brutal and while there were a little baby he got into a fight with an
older white racist now after the fight well baby he was
sent to a more standard penitentiary for two years
helped to transform him now there he started to build his
patience and he decided that he should finally follow the advice of his old
buddies p and coach k you see all this time that
little baby was hustling on the streets and and out of prison
while some of his friends from the neighborhood were building incredible
careers in the music industry now around the time that little baby was
dropping out of school to pursue his drug dealing full-time
while young thug was releasing his eye came from nothing mixtapes
now when baby was going to hardcore prison in 2015
well his old buddy jeffrey he released his first platinum single
best friend meanwhile baby's friends kevin coach k
lee and prp thomas well they were making serious waves in the music industry as
well now they founded quality control music
in 2012 and partnered with universal music distribution for some time
through the years quality control it signed acts like migos og marco and lil
yachty now for years little baby he had been
encouraged to rap by coach k and he decided to finally start doing
it after he got out of prison in february of 2017.
that was a total coincidence well that very same month will little baby soon to
be collaborator money bag yo will he release the music video for his
song little baby so what made little baby finally decide
that he wanted to start recording well i'll let him explain
and one time me and mother had a long conversation and he's like i'm telling
him just do it and one day i just like i'm going to the
studio she went on maybe soon no it was also
around this time that little baby he finally decided to kick his expensive
lean habit now by this point he had already seen
friends die from the drug and he knew that it would hold him back in his
ability to produce in the studio so little baby he set himself the goal
of completing four mixtapes before 2017 was done
it was a bold goal but it was one that he stuck to and was able to accomplish
though he was able to speed up his recording sessions by making them very
efficient he basically essentially said that he
gets it all done real quick and his raw talent has also allowed him to bypass
some of the steps that some would consider to be essential
like uh writing songs yeah he stated i actually just go in the booth and go
from there like i just freestyled and go in i stop
and then just listen to it i take some parts out and keep and
delete some parts i ain't wrote a rap though
the little baby he first got comfortable at the studio just hanging out during
recording sessions with artists like the amigos and young thug
and when it came time to start recording himself well one of the first artists he
collaborated with was his old friend jeffrey
now the oldest song available on his soundcloud and his first feature with
world star hip-hop it was ryder another huge influence early on in his career
was gunna who baby met through a now deceased friend
now speaking with rolling stone a little baby he credits gunna for giving him a
lot of the insight when he was first starting out
now several new tracks would follow on his soundcloud account which would form
his first mixtape released via soundcloud known as perfect timing
now around this time he would also team up with the likes of lil yachty for 100
round the little baby's next big win was a world star feature for my dog
now today this music video it has over 100 million views on youtube
now it would also be his first track to chart hitting number 71 on the billboard
hot 100 and number 29 on the us r b and hip hop chart
it would also be included in his next mixtape harder than heart
now the mix statement would also feature songs like my drip and narcs
both of which spawn music videos featured on world star hip hop
now already crushing it on the world star youtube channel well little baby he
would soon create his own youtube channel in november of 2017.
now his first release there was the music video for his song freestyle
which has gone on to rack up nearly 350 million views at the time of this
recording by the end of 2017 little baby had succeeded in reaching
his goal of releasing four mixtapes aside from the two i already mentioned
there was also his collaboration mixtape with marlowe
the two hard way and there was too hard since then little baby has had a ton of
accomplishments including records and singles charting and even a grammy
nomination for rap performance of the year for trip to heart
now that was an award win he missed out on with the honors going to the late
nifty hustle rip but he did pick up a best new artist
win at the 2019 bt wars i just want to thank my fans and
