Lil Baby, who has dominated 2020, keeps on releasing new music including the brief, drippy banger, โOn Me.โ ย
A
s previously stated, ๐ Lil Baby has had ample success in 2020.ย He has a gaudy record you might say โ there have been plenty of wins! Where many musicians experienced diminished success, the ๐ Grammy-nominated rapper has dominated, totally โkicking ass and taking namesโ you might say.ย He released two singles on Friday, December 4th: ๐ต โErrbodyโ and the much briefer song at hand, ๐ต โOn Me.โ The former definitely suggested a bright future for the Atlanta rapper. ย What does the latter say?/otw_shortcode_dropcap]โOn Meโ is a brief banger, produced by ๐ Chi Chi and ๐ EVRGRN.ย Musically, the backdrop checks off the boxes of a trap joint.ย The drum programming is the defining feature, definitely helping to propel Lil Baby.ย Otherwise, itโs dark, set in a minor, with some minimalist keyboard work.ย Not groundbreaking or earth shattering, but fuel for Babyโs fire.ย As for him, the star of the show, his distinct flow with his southern sensibilities remains firmly intact โ totally unshakable.ย Honestly, in my opinion, it is his flow that really makes him such a high in demand rapper, something thatโs not compromised here.
That said, does Lil Baby truly โbring the heatโ on โOn Me.โ Well, letโs just say this isnโt ๐ต โThe Bigger Pictureโ, clearly his most accomplished and deepest work.ย While he drops some respectable, introspective lines (โI canโt play with my creation, give the world to my lilโ boy /โฆ Iโm a human, Iโm not perfect, I know sometimes I be wrongโ), thereโs also drip and of course, sex as well.
Final Thoughts ๐ญย
So, how does โOn Meโ stack up? Itโs enjoyable enough but certainly doesnโt move the needle for Lil Baby.ย The production is respectable, and the flow remains great, but ultimately, not the best or deepest song youโll hear 2020.ย โErrbodyโ > โOn Me.โ
