The Single:
Constantly evolving and experimenting with different sounds and scenes, Charlotte’s BIGBABYGUCCI is the definition of a multi-dimensional artist. Showcasing the breadth of his musical appetite ahead of Baby 5, his upcoming project, he shares “You A Joke.” Produced by DSANDO and fivecrzy, “You A Joke” is a glimpse into the world of Baby 5, complete with otherworldly synths and pulsing 808s. BIGBABYGUCCI brings his signature in-your-face melodies to the track, laughing off his haters and clout-chasing women: “I know that he’s broke, he carries a CashApp in person / I rock him assertively, I got the bands that’s certainly / I pull up in that 5 percent, I know your momma heard of me / Old b*tches try to flirt with me, I got old money certainly / I know you try to hate on me, I know these b*tches wait on me.”
“You A Joke” arrives ahead of Baby 5, BIGBABYGUCCI’s upcoming album arriving August 5th. Earlier this month, he announced the project, returning with “Balenciaga Store Closed,” a flex-heavy banger. Baby 5 will be BIGBABYGUCCI’s first official project of 2024, following a busy 2023 in which he released four standalone albums. An extremely prolific artist, the Charlotte native has been buzzing in the underground since his debut 2016 project A F*cking Mixtape, now renamed ART HOE Collection on streaming services. At the age of 18, he established what would become 1500Forever, a collective of artists, producers, filmmakers, photographers, and designers, all whom he would eventually meet through Twitter, which fueled his creative energy into multiple new projects, including his breakout mixtape Romance Isn’t Dead. BIGBABYGUCCI eventually went on to release “Drop Top Lexus” (17.8M Spotify streams), his biggest song to date. His cult following grew even larger with hits like 2020’s “Can’t Feel Shit” (7.8M Spotify streams) and 2021’s “Seeing Ghosts” (4.3M streams).
With Baby 5 on the way, BIGBABYGUCCI is ready to claim his rightful place as the underground’s favorite son. Watch the young rapper as he asserts himself in his hometown of Charlotte and beyond.
