BIGBABYGUCCI has been developing an expansive sound for quite a long time all while remaining supremely underrated. One of Charlotte, North Carolina's best-kept secrets, he's flexing his versatility, and it doesn't come across as half-assed. If you caught the title, BIGBABYGUCCI is doing so on his newest album, Baby 5. His 13th studio LP, this project comes on the heels of multiple promotional singles such as "Captain Crashout", "Pink Sprite", "You a Joke", and "Temporary". Based on what we heard heading into this listening experience, we grew more and more excited for what was to come. Overall, it's safe to say that we have been more than happy with the final results.
22 songs might automatically turn a lot of people off. Inflated tracklists are a huge problem in today's streaming era. However, what justifies BIGBABYGUCCI doing this is that he manages to never bore you. According to the press release for Baby 5, the mission was to give off this feeling that you are flipping through television stations with each one presenting a different soundscape. His team describes the first half of the record as the more hype and high-octane side to GUCCI. Then, through the halfway mark, you are hearing softer, vulnerable and more "sophisticated" lyrics and instrumentals. Finally, the last leg is sort of a culmination of the previous two, which shows off just how creative he can get. Overall, there is really something for everyone, so give Baby 5 a try if you are looking to discover someone whose doing things a little differently than your mainstream star.
