Lil Baby has opened up about how he coped with the pressures of becoming successful, explaining that in the early days of his fame, the rapper found himself in a “dark spot”.The revelation came in an interview with fellow rapper Big Loon, with Lil Baby – real name Dominique Jones – appearing on his podcast The Experience. Around halfway into their hourlong chat, Loon and Jones spoke about how a position of influence can affect a young rapper’s psyche; asked outright if he enjoyed his life, Jones said: “Yeah.
There’s a long time [where] I wasn’t happy, but now I’m finally in a stage where I can wake up and be happy.”Reflecting on what brought him down for that period of time, Jones continued: “I had a lot of shit I was going through. Getting adjusted to this shit, changing, having to stop being around people I’m used to being around, doing things I used to be doing… [But] I know that I can adapt to any environment, so it was just [that] adapting to my new environment put me in a dark spot for a minute.”Jones went on to say that his biggest obstacle in adapting to fame was “really starting everything over, from all the way down to your thoughts”.
He explained that people would tell him to think and move in ways he wasn’t used to, noting: “That shit kind of fucks with you because it’s like, it’s real life situations. And I’d be saying like, ‘Damn, I’ve been living my whole life thinking like this.’ You’ve really got to tell yourself, ‘You can’t think like that no more.’ That shit can be a little depressing.”Have a look at Lil Baby’s full interview with Big Loon – the topic in question coming up around 34 minutes in – below:Jones’ appearance on The Experience came in support of his third solo album as Lil Baby, ‘It’s Only

Alex Swhear Among the many oddities of a tumultuous, pandemic-addled year in music in 2020, the most surprising might have been that Taylor Swift’s massive “Folklore” was surpassed in consumption by the end of the year by an even more massive album from a still up-and-coming Atlanta rapper. Up until the release of “My Turn,” Lil Baby had still been defined, as with so many of his ATL contemporaries, as some variation of “Young Thug clone.” But the record, boosted by its deluxe release to become the most consumed album of the year, chugged along into a sleeper hit that shot him into the hip-hop stratosphere. It is this rise over the last couple years that undergirds the arrival of his new record, “It’s Only Me,” and what also perhaps explains the mentality behind an often phoned-in slog of a work. The album, Baby’s third studio effort, largely solidifies what was perhaps even more unexpected about his superstardom: the fact that it was built on a sound that, on the star-making “My Turn,” was largely flavorless and inert when taken in its full dosage. Lil Baby rose to the top ranks with a somewhat distinct voice — a smooth, hoarse tone that often sounds effortless on his sprinting flows — but it was typically laid across shamelessly copy-and-paste trap production.
Atlanta’s Lil Baby surprised just about everybody with his sophomore album My Turn, a 2020 project that revealed an artist with more nuance than his hits would have you believe. Since then, he’s built up more acclaim through his collaboration with Lil Durk, The Voice of the Heroes; secured three Grammy nominations and one win (Best Melodic Rap Performance for Kanye West’s “Hurricane”); and appeared on songs with Drake, Nicki Minaj, and many more.
