The Louisville rapper is honoring one of the GOATs with a collection of remixes to the hottest instrumentals today.

Louisville rapper 2KBaby is back with a new mixtape, Sorry 4 The Hate. Moreover, it's inspired by Lil Wayne's classic mixtape Sorry 4 the Wait, on which he rapped over popular beats before Tha Carter IV. Also, it even has the same style of cover art and color pallet. Therefore, that's exactly what the Kentucky native delivers on this mixtape. His last single "Haunt Me" with Kofi displayed his melodic sensibilities, but he's not afraid to go hard here, too.

"I’m just tryn go down as of the GOATSs in this s**t," 2KBaby wrote via Instagram. "[Lil Wayne] been inspiring n***as as long as I can remember & at the same time paving the way for artists to do a lot of the s**t we do today. “Sorry 4 the Wait” was the first Remixtape I got put on 2 & “Sorry 4 the Wait II” was the last. So I thought I’d try to make my own Remixtape of the hottest 2022 songs on the chart rn. Until I see it ain’t no artist in the game tht can fwm on this tip."

Meanwhile, given his criticism of hits like "pushin p," it's unsurprising to see 2KBaby looking for some smoke. Still, he backs it up, with creative reinventions of everything from Metro Boomin to Taylor Swift. Moreover, his voice remains dynamic and charismatic, with passionate wails and creative inflections. Still, he spits bars over beats from Yeat, Drake & 21 Savage, and Jack Harlow.

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
