Lil Baby, Crazy | Song Review 🎵

Grammy-nominated melodic rapper Lil Baby drops an ‘crazy,’ though enjoyable and respectable rap banger with “Crazy.”

“Iknow what I’m doin’, they callin’ me crazy.” Well, what matter is, you know what you doin’, Lil Baby! The Grammy-nominated rapper is back with another banger, the three-minutes-and-change “Crazy”.  As always, the flow is #GIVING – tough, but melodic AF. He’s backed by dramatic production courtesy of Money Musik, Hoops, and Str8cash. The backdrop, set in a minor key, includes piano, strings, pads, and a hard-knocking beat. Perfect inspiration for rapper!

Initially, it sounds as if the music on “Crazy” is going to be a bit crazy – as in being set in a different meter.  Soon enough, “Crazy” settles into standard, common time – we love four-four! As always, Lil Baby spits a lot in his raps, in agile fashion. “No matter how hard it can get / That boy on the top of the list,” he asserts in the first verse, continuing, “I put up a wall and block all of this shit / Stay on my feet, I can’t fall a lil bit.” Ooh-wee! In the second verse, we get some of the craziness in his bars: “They think I’m crazy the way I’m spendin’ this money / I ain’t goin’ out like Mike Tyson.” Also, in verse two, Baby calls for the release of incarcerated rapper, Pooh Shiesty. All told, Lil Baby doesn’t break new ground on “Crazy”. Even so, this ‘rap joint right here’ marks another enjoyable, respectable song from the popular rapper.
