Baby: “I just save my money, man. I don’t even try to enjoy it like these other rappers; they having fun and they lit, but they gon’ be broke later on. I be savin’, I be chillin’. It feels good to know I got it, but it feel better to know I’ma keep it too.”

Baby: “I’m a rapper but I’m more of a hustler.”

Baby: “My ultimate goal is my son, and a lot of other kids, to not have to grow up the way I grew up. I just give them a different outlook on something. I want to let them know they can have this much fun by doing something legal like me rapping for instance.”

Baby: “I just got an ear for the kind of things I like.”

Baby: “Every day I’m getting shaped and molded. Keepin’ on, being a better artist, and improving on this, improving on that. The more I’m in it, the more I’m practicing and the more I’m advancing.”

Baby: “I’m not into number ones or number whatever, I just aim to put out a good body of work that sticks.”

Baby: “I always thought rapping was kind of corny. I never wanted to be no rapper growing up, I had dreams of being a millionaire, a kingpin.”

Baby: “I was always one of the smartest kids in the class, it wasn’t hard for me. But I didn’t go to school, I was just trying to get me a bankroll.”

Baby: “The message I would give to the next generation is: don’t get side-tracked by distractions and never forget it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

Baby: “I would describe life growing up in Atlanta, on a scale of one-to-10 — with 10 being the hardest — as a six. My life wasn’t too bad, but I didn’t have a picket fence or a silver spoon. I had to get it how I live.”

Baby: “The rap game is kinda crazy, so I go with the flow but make sure that I cover my bases and do whatever to make sure I’m good no matter what.”

Baby: “I’m always looking for the vibe. I’m looking for a beat that will make me feel a certain type of way. It’s almost like the beat brings the words out of me. I haven’t got to the stage where I write down lyrics yet. I said I was going to write for my new album, but I don’t really see it. Maybe I will or maybe I won’t!”

Baby: “I know I can’t rap forever, but I know as long as I got a label or something I can get money forever.”

[On Gunna]

Baby: “We came up together, so it’s always a pleasure to work with him. He’s one of the people in the industry I consider to be family.”

Baby: “My story is going to be completely different than someone else’s story in terms of hard work. What I might feel like is hard work, another person is dying to do.”

Baby: “I got more songs with Gunna than anybody – that’s like the only person who I’m around!”

Baby: “I’ve grown, and my passion for music has grown. I’ve become more advanced and I’ve enhanced my vocabulary. All around artist development.”

Baby: “I can’t really describe my sound.”

Baby: “When I started music I was already in my twenties, the industry hasn’t taught me a lot about life but it opened so many doors for me. It allowed me to look at life in a whole different way. It broadened my horizons.”

Baby: “Fatherhood definitely changed me as a person, now I’m not just living for me. I’m living for other people, people that I created. It’s not even like your momma or your sister, it’s someone that you brought into this world.”

Baby: “From the people to the way we dress, the way we talk, to the way our women look and the way our kids grow up… there’s no place like Atlanta.”

Baby: “If you learned a lesson it wasn’t a loss.”

Baby: “When an issue involves so much of me, I feel a responsibility. I try not to get into too much stuff because I’m here to rap. But when it involves me so much I gotta speak on it. How can I not?”

Baby: “To me, I’m on a whole different level of rapping.”

Baby: “I used to always be in Atlanta, chilling. I didn’t really have as much to do. So I would gamble as a hobby. Now I’d rather go into the studio and try to make me a hit.”

Baby: “I want to be a superhero dad to where my kid feel like everything I do is nothing wrong.”

Baby: “I got a boss mentality.”

Baby: “I done paid Gunna to write my songs. I never put the songs out but like when I first started rapping I used to pay him like $100 like ‘I’ma give you a $100 write something for me so I can try to learn to go in and record it.’”

Baby: “I like music, I listened to all rappers; people like Jeezy, Yo Gotti, T.I.”

Baby: “Keep our business to ourselves. The internet ain’t doin’ no help.”

Baby: “I don’t really know the logistics of a Soundcloud rapper.”

Baby: “Young Thug, he gave me all the jewels. He literally paid me to leave the neighborhood.”

Baby: “I’m all about giving up-and-coming people a chance.”
