“The South East L.A. crew are having one of those runs where a regional rapper or group just break off hit after hit.” – Pitchfork
“Baby Stone Gorillas have been on an impeccable run as of late, matching consistent releases with a deeply unique sense of artistry that only improves and expands with each new release” –Â Lyrical Lemonade
“Youthful and fiery, BSG continues to witness their sound sweep over Southern California and are poised to break across the map.” –Â Our Generation Music
With a neck-snapping 4-man dynamic that is taking the streets of L.A. by storm, Baby Stone Gorillas are the next West Coast rap group to take over. Coming through with their latest sizzling hot posse cut, the group from “The Jungles” shares “Do It Up,” their latest single. Recruiting the silky vocals of Compton’s Wallie The Sensei, the group comprised of EKillaOffDaBlocck, Top5ivee, P4K, and 5Much take turns tag-teaming a retro, electro-funk flavored instrumental, sliding over the 808 cowbells with slurring flows. Each member of the crew shows off their unique flavor, spinning yarns about their street prowess and ever-growing bankrolls.
“Do It Up” is the latest in a long run of singles by BSG that have set the streets ablaze. The new single arrives in the lead up to BABYST5XNE GORILLAS, the collective’s upcoming mixtape. With beats from L.A. sound architects like RonRonTheProducer and appearances from 1takejay, Bla$ta, BandGang Lonnie Bands, and many more, BABYST5XNE arrives on March 11th via Baby Stone Gorillas / EMPIRE.
The four members of Baby Stone Gorillas have known each other since they were 10-years-old, and were friends far before they dreamed of music stardom. The rappers have distinct styles and roles: 5Much brings a hustlerâs mentality and vents about his life, while EK packs the energy. P4K is the proud instigator known for slick-talking raps, while Top5ivee often comes up with B.S.G.âs catchy hooks. Last summer, the group’s self-titled video racked up views in the millions, precipitating a winning streak of viral singles that included the Pitchfork–approved “Military,” which earned airplay on Drake’s OVOSound Radio, and “Untouchable” ft. RJMrLA, catching the attention of Shaquille O’Neal.
With the upcoming BABY ST5XNE, the four South L.A. spitters are excited to show the world what they can do. Spanning 23 tracks with nary a dull moment, the new tape establishes Baby Stone Gorillas as the kings of the jungle in SoCal and beyond.

âYou can go and listen to damn near 50 people outta L.A., period, but youâll notice that weâve got a different sound,â proclaims Baby Stone Gorillas member EKillaOffDaBlock. E.K., along with group-mates Top5ivee, P4K, 5Much are creating some of the most original music out of the West Coast. From Baldwin Villages, better known as âThe Jungles,â this talented quartet blends elements of their street surroundings with imagination, humor, and a will to stand out. In 2021, videos like their introductory âSTL Caps & Jay Hats,â âBaby Stone Gorillas,â and the charged-up âMilitaryâ made a powerful impression and garnered several million streams. By the end of 2021, OVORadio played music from Baby Stone Gorillas while Shaq reposted a video. Now, B.S.G. readies a 23-track mixtape that features 1takejay, Bla$ta, Band Gang Lonnie Bands, and Wallie the Sensei. âIf we donât capitalize on this moment right now, thereâs no other time,â urges P4K. âThatâs how weâre treating it: If we donât do it now, itâs never.â
