Atlanta’s Raq Baby Drops “Stick Up” And “toy Story” — Taking 2025 By Storm
Atlanta’s own teenage rap prodigy Raq Baby is showing no signs of slowing down. At just 19 years old, the rising star continues to build serious momentum with the release of two new singles — “Stick Up” and “Toy Story” — both out now via Santa Anna Records.
The highly-anticipated “Stick Up” features a nostalgic, attention-grabbing sample from Childish Gambino’s 2013 smash “3005,” and it’s already made a major impact online, racking up over 25,000 TikTok Creates before the official release. Raq Baby gave fans an exclusive first look with a viral performance on On The Radar, officially premiering the single last week.
The buzz doesn’t stop there — “Toy Story” arrives with a brand-new visual, adding to what is now Raq Baby’s seventh visual drop of the year. Both singles follow his March EP, More Spill — a project that hit #8 on Apple Music’s All Genre Albums Chart and #3 on the Hip-Hop/Rap Chart, serving as a continuation of his 2024 breakout mixtape Spill Season.
From viral tracks like “Belt Boyz” (7M+ streams), “Crashed on Camera” (3M+), and “Check Fox 5” (2M+), to his breakout hit “Soldier Love” (15M+ streams), Raq Baby has built a hyper-engaged fanbase hungry for more. Originally from Chicago’s South Side and raised in Atlanta, his melodic, drill-leaning trap style has caught the attention of hip-hop heavyweights and media outlets alike.
Fresh off the Resurrection Tour opening for SahBabii, Raq Baby just headlined his first show in Atlanta and is now gearing up to headline in Chicago on May 29th. On top of that, he’s currently in the running for the fan-voted 10th spot on the 2025 XXL Freshman List — proving he’s not just next up, he’s right now.
With co-signs from Rylo Rodriguez, collaborations with YTB Fatt, VonOff1700, and Jdot Breezy, and a non-stop grind backed by real results, Raq Baby is shaping the sound of tomorrow’s rap game — today.
