After delivering a titillating rump shaker with “JUDY” last month, eight-time GRAMMY-nominated recording artist DaBaby (South Coast Music Group/Interscope Records) slows down the tempo for his reflective new song “DONE TRYING.” Charged by a heartfelt vocal sample, Baby ruminates on losing his cousin and his tireless work ethic. Though Baby remains steadfast in his goals, he admits he’s only human and has moments when he gets tired. The track’s genuine appeal is felt more in the visual, where Baby’s kids and nephew make cameos as he balances work and family life. “They know I paid them dividends to get they brother dropped / And never sold my soul, I might fuck ’round, be another ‘Pac,” raps Baby on the soul-driven track.
“DONE TRYING” resides on Baby’s three-track EP GHETTO SUPERSTAR, featuring his “GHETTO SUPERSTAR “(FREESTYLE)” and “JUDY” with rising Detroit star Skilla Baby. The three-pack is an appetizer to Baby’s upcoming project, slated to drop this summer.
