I got a boss mentality.

I can't really describe my sound.

I grew up listening to everybody.

I never knew anything about rapping.

Everyone has said I got my own sound.

I'm a rapper but I'm more of a hustler.

A lot of songs I'm kind of singing and rapping.

I just got an ear for the kind of things I like.

To me, I'm on a whole different level of rapping.

I'm all about giving up-and-coming people a chance.

I've been through all the bad parts of the streets.

There's certain little sounds that I just like to hear.

I don't really know the logistics of a Soundcloud rapper.

I just want to be that to my children. The ultimate father.

I got the name Lil Baby because I always hung around older dudes.

The first project, I made 16 songs and put 12 of them on the mixtape.

Gunna ain't never wrote no song for me. He just showed me how to rap.

I have an impact and people look up to me now. It's more than the money.

I like music, I listened to all rappers; people like Jeezy, Yo Gotti, T.I.

I feel like whatever is meant is meant. I feel like this is already written.

I was telling people like 'My Dawg' gon' be the song that get me out there. I knew it.

Young Thug, he gave me all the jewels. He literally paid me to leave the neighborhood.

I want to be a superhero dad to where my kid feel like everything I do is nothing wrong.

Whether I'm at the gas station or I be at the store, I be there by myself. I be regular.

Like you might love watching basketball, but that don't mean that you'll get on the court.

I know I can't rap forever, but I know as long as I got a label or something I can get money forever.

I'm changing every day as far as this rap thing. I'm learning new things. I'm getting bigger by the day.

If you're a young black dude from the hood you want to come through the hood in a car that makes a lot of noise.

I always knew 'My Dawg' would be a hit, but I didn't even know what a hit was. When I made the song I knew it sounded hard.

I've grown, and my passion for music has grown. I've become more advanced and I've enhanced my vocabulary. All around artist development.

The rap game is kinda crazy, so I go with the flow but make sure that I cover my bases and do whatever to make sure I'm good no matter what.

I'm used to having money and the stuff I do, but it's more of how I'm doing it now. I walk outside and people know me, and I really get paid for shows.

My story is going to be completely different than someone else's story in terms of hard work. What I might feel like is hard work, another person is dying to do.

I used to always be in Atlanta, chilling. I didn't really have as much to do. So I would gamble as a hobby. Now I'd rather go into the studio and try to make me a hit.

Like people coming up to me like, 'Nobody ever told you that you look like Lil Baby?' But I'll be like, nah. Or like, somebody told me that. I'll never just say, it's me.

The Migos, like anybody I ever been in the studio with, like an influence on my rap. I take this from him and him and him and, you know, put it with myself and make it work like that.

Every day I'm getting shaped and molded. Keepin' on, being a better artist, and improving on this, improving on that. The more I'm in it, the more I'm practicing and the more I'm advancing.

I done paid Gunna to write my songs. I never put the songs out but like when I first started rapping I used to pay him like $100 like 'I'ma give you a $100 write something for me so I can try to learn to go in and record it.'

I just save my money, man. I don't even try to enjoy it like these other rappers; they having fun and they lit, but they gon' be broke later on. I be savin', I be chillin'. It feels good to know I got it, but it feel better to know I'ma keep it too.

My ultimate goal is my son, and a lot of other kids, to not have to grow up the way I grew up. I just give them a different outlook on something. I want to let them know they can have this much fun by doing something legal like me rapping for instance.

I don't really have a writing process. I don't write at all but, honestly, I feel like it's a modern-day writing because everything is technology and if I go in there and freestyle and I keep it, I feel like I wrote that. If I go in there and fix it, it's almost like something I wrote.
