    This latest project succeeds by further propelling the rapper’s soaring momentum even while in lockdown.

    Though “Blame It On Baby” is fairly short at only 33 and a half minutes, the bop of songs like the Nils & Wheezy produced “Talk About It” and the title track from DJ Kid and friends prove you can hit skip and land on something good anywhere.

    It's a sound we've come to know DaBaby handle on his own, but he invites industry peers like Quavo ("Pick Up"), Future ("Lightskin Shit"), YoungBoy Never Broke Again ("Jump") for the ride.

    For the most part, Blame it on Baby is classic DaBaby. Minimal bass stabs and toybox plinks and whirrs accent joyful sh–t talking. Songs generally clock in under three minutes. Songs generally clock in under three minutes. He sounds like he’s having a lot of fun, which is all the album needs to be. But as the industry dictates, doing one thing well enough to get popular is not enough to stay popular, so there are also songs on here that paint him as lovelorn and heartbroken. It’s not a great fit.

    Everything from the production to the subject matter on this new album is frustratingly similar to the first two projects.

    Blame It on Baby is pretty evenly divided between strong songs and duds.

    Unlike the release of his second studio album, KIRK released last year, a major fraction of 'Blame It On Baby' lacks effort and even originality.

    A solid project taking a look into Dababy's life with his new found fame. Most features land. Some tracks are lazy, but still enjoyable.

    DaBaby doesn't prove anything with this new project aside from his willingness to stay active in his career. His ambition is commendable butDaBaby doesn't prove anything with this new project aside from his willingness to stay active in his career.

    This album feels like that DaBaby just tried to enter in the mainstream market. Not a good album, but either not bad.

    Blame It On Baby is an lazy album. I'm going to start with the positives, a couple of the songs have good mainstream value and and every onceBlame It On Baby is an lazy album. I'm going to start with the positives, a couple of the songs have good mainstream value and and every once in a while we hear that classic Da Baby flow. The only good songs on this album are PICK UP, ROCKSTAR, and JUMP. Now with the negatives, Their is no true effort in almost any of the songs and horrifical attempts to switch his flow. His singing is abysmal in songs like SAD SH*T and this album contains no extra meaning except for playing at clubs. Overall badly created work.… Expand
