Childhood & Early Life :
Lil Baby was born on December 3, 1994, in Atlanta, Georgia, to a lower middle-class family living in a Georgia suburb. He was exposed to a variety of criminal activities throughout his childhood. Because many of his neighbors made a life from petty crime, Lil Baby had no choice but to follow in their footsteps.
Academics were never Lil Baby's thing. His parents were concerned about his future because of his lack of interest in school. In the late 1990s, a musical genre known as 'Gangsta rap' was at its pinnacle, and it affected practically every other youth. Lil Baby was also drawn to the musical genre, which finally led him to rap. Making a profession out of it, on the other hand, was never the intention.
He spent the most of his early years hanging around with his buddies and selling illicit substances on the street. He was also frequently involved in brawls. When several of his boyhood buddies became great musicians, he felt left out but refused to modify his methods.
He had always loved music, but being a criminal looked better and simpler than any other vocation. He was sentenced to five years in jail for narcotics dealing.
He exhibited evidence of progress while in jail, and as a result, he was freed in just two years. After his release, he resolved to live a better life, and his boyhood buddy Coach K stepped up to assist him.
They founded the 'Quality Control' music label, and his boyhood pals Pierre Thomas (Pee) and Kevin Lee (Coach K) began collaborating. Around this period, Lil Baby began working on his debut mixtape.
Career :
Lil Baby's debut mixtape, 'Perfect Timing,' was released in April 2017. The album was the result of a joint effort by all of Lil Baby's childhood pals, who worked together to assure the record's success.
Lil subsequently stated that he and his crew created the mix tape in just two days, which is when he recognized he had a natural talent for music. The mix tape blew up the Atlanta underground music scene. The CD was played in several pubs, taverns, and cafés throughout Georgia.
Lil Baby has received recognition for his lyrics. The majority of his songs were inspired by his experiences in prison. He'd also written about his feelings about living the life of a minor crook.
With the publication of his following mix tape, 'Harder than Hard,' he became even more popular.

Some of the songs went on to become chartbusters, including 'My Dawg,' 'Ride or Die,' and 'My Drip.'
Lil Baby is currently employed by his 'Quality Control' label, which he co-owns with childhood buddies.
