The rapper keeps time, filling out spaces in the drum programming. Capable rhymers ride the beat, locking into cadences that play off patterns laid out by a producer. This is true of the star-making string of guest appearances that has rocketed the artist, born Jonathan Kirk, to the top of his class. Coronations like these occur every year or so in hip-hop. A single catches, and a tipping point happens. Suddenly, a local talent is a national one. What happens next is always fascinating: Either the artist surrenders to the expectations of the audience and gloms onto the network of producers, singers, engineers, and fellow rappers needed to make the next record most likely to succeed, or the artist attempts to scale the sound of the early mixtapes to work at radio. The sooner the chaotic energy around him cools, the better. Passive-aggressive bars like these only work if your form is on point. At his best, DaBaby mixes the side-splitting rudeness of early Ludacris, the playful-but-still-imposing image of Busta Rhymes, and the melodic sensibilities of Kevin Gates.
