Some artists define a genre, but Lil Baby defines a generation. The GRAMMY Award-winning rapper has smashed records, made history, and impacted the course of modern hip-hop with his instantly identifiable and inimitable style. He has garnered dozens of multi platinum certifications and tens of billions of streams as arguably the biggest new rapper to emerge this decade. Following the success of his platinum full-length debut Harder Than Ever in 2018, he seized #1 on the Billboard Top 200 with 2020’s My Turn, becoming “the year’s #1 selling and #1 streaming album in the US.” At first, it cemented him as “2020’s first and only artist to go double-platinum,” but it has since gone quadruple-platinum and has logged 85 weeks in the top 10 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart – marking the longest top-tier run in the chart’s history. 

 

He notably tied Prince and Paul McCartney for Billboard Hot 100 hits and Taylor Swift for “most weeks atop the Billboard Top 200 in 2020” with a total of 6. Out of eight nominations, he scored his first GRAMMY® Award in 2022. He has appeared on the covers of Rolling Stone and the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players Issue in addition to receiving honors from VEVO, Rap Caviar, the Apple Music Awards, and more. He teamed up with Lil Durk for The Voice of the Heroes, marking his second #1 debut on the Billboard Top 200. It’s just the beginning though. He’s bound to revolutionize the culture again with his third album in 2022. Most recently, he released “Right On” and “In A Minute” which both songs debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. This feat puts Lil Baby in rare territory, making him the youngest of only 12 artists to have ever landed 100 or more songs on the Hot 100. This generation belongs to Lil Baby.

Inspired by music from all genres, Walker Hayes seamlessly blends elements of pop, rock, rap and country together, creating a fresh sound firmly rooted in his southern perspective.
 
Born in Mobile, Alabama, Hayes grew up in a large blended family. Basketball, track and piano were his childhood passions, the latter being an interest that would turn from a hobby into his primary pursuit when he earned a music degree at Alabama’s Birmingham-Southern College. He finished his degree at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. 
 
After discovering songwriting and penning a few songs himself, Hayes moved to Nashville eager to pursue a career in music. Within a year he had a record deal with a Nashville label and released music tailored for the popular tastes at the time.  Shortly after a label merger he was released from his deal and was able to pursue his own unique sound.
 
With no pressure, no demands, and nothing to lose, Hayes began developing his signature style.  Lyric heavy and groove based, Hayes hunkered down in his writing "shack" at new publisher RareSpark Media Group and recorded hundreds of songs himself.  These recordings caught the ear of Nashville hit maker, Shane McAnally, who immediately signed Hayes to his SMACK Publishing/Production house. 
    
Hayes released his first batch of work tapes entitled 8Tracks (Vol I) in May 2016. “Say Sober”, one of the 8Tracks, was featured on Spotify's New Music Friday Playlist and immediately charted on Spotify's Viral Chart.   Another track, “Shades” was heavily featured on the nationally syndicated Bobby Bones Radio Show and proclaimed an early contender for Song of the Summer by Bobby himself.
 
The 8Tracks are a collection of early worktapes that Hayes produced by himself in his shack while experimenting with sounds and lyrics.   The idea of the release of this music was to make the 8Track collections free and easily accessible to new listeners.   8Tracks (Vol II) is currently in development for a late summer release.    Concurrently, Hayes is in the studio with McAnally working on his first full studio album that will incorporate fully produced songs from the 8Tracks as well as unreleased original material.
