Breeching into the LA canon of hiphop success stories is rarified air, a lineage that makes laddering up both intimidating and inescapable for comparison. Los Angeles, once a hotbed for genre defining stars, definitively lacks the Gen Z equivalents to the Kendricks and Snoops. That was then, this is now.  

310babii, whose demeanor in interview is very deliberate, precise, a young man who counts tech revolutionaries like Bezos & Jobs as mentors, and it shows. Thankfully, the nascent & prodigious Inglewood talent that is 310babii has the candor and vision for empire building. Even as a teenager he’s been comfortable ascending past the atmospherics & surface level peers into a strata all his own, and his latest release “Struck” confirms that. Backed by credential satisfying Kalan as a co-sign and feature on the track, “Stuck” is a melange of genres & styles but with a unique, fresh feel that imports 310babiii’s savant ability to bring a vibe in a way too many peers fall short. 

Self described a man raised “by hard workers, hustlers,” the work ethic that is evident in cadence of releases, comes off on “Stuck” in effortless verses, a laidback Cali poet that begs one to cruise the wide-open boulevards, getting digits, doing numbers. The slower pulsating beat and baseline of “Stuck” shows the range of 310babii, who can hit the staccato tempo of drill, as seen on “Soak City” but clearly excels when braced by melody, chunky synth bars and a pace that feels very west coast. We can’t be upfront enough about how promising 310babii’s ceiling might be, and in the meantime, he’s a great tune to get stuck to.
