BabyChiefDoit Unleashes Brass-Heavy New Single “Rambo”
BabyChiefDoit shares “Rambo,” a brass-heavy new single that pushes his Chicago drill sound into sharper, chant-driven territory.
“I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t the best/ To all the pretty girls I went to school with, I think we should still have sex.” With that line alone, BabyChiefDoit makes his case on “Rambo,” the new single from the Chicago rapper who’s been stamped by Stereogum as one to watch.
The track arrives with a massive, brass-soaked beat that feels like Drake’s “Trophies” rerouted through drill. Over it, BabyChiefDoit leans into a hook built from military chants, giving the song a different kind of snap than the sound he pushed on “The Crib.” That earlier single stayed closer to the center of drill; “Rambo” pulls out a little farther, though it still hits with the kind of immediacy that makes both records stick.
For listeners keeping up with BabyChiefDoit’s run, the contrast is part of the appeal. He is moving around the edges of his lane without losing the charge that made the last song connect in the first place. Watch videos for each one below.
