Never heard any of dude's music but I know of him from this
This nikka handled this shyt FLAWLESSLY.
LEGIT UPMOST RESPECT TO THIS BREH.
aye,
@JParker y'all North Carolina nikkas got one here.
Exactly how I'd want a son of mine to handle those tense moments.
He didn't lose any ground in regards to his manhood. He stayed collected. He didn't intensify the hostility.
In NY, you learn quick that nikkas who are trying to check you like that are STILL looking for a window to play the "disrespected party".
nikka tried to say check in and was hoping that Da Baby would have been lile, "fukk you nikka, I aint scared of you ATL nikkas. Come see me!" on some Tony Montana shyt.
That gives the green light.
Nothing Da Baby did gave that nikka a green. He at most had a yellow light where even his nikkas would be iffy about doing something because Da Baby ain't show any disrespect.

I love seeing shyt like this.
Damn, brah made 15 nikkas back down and he was dolo.
That's the thing, though.
Most of the nikkas in that situation trying to check him are still logical in their own way.
I Don't care what hood someone is from...most nikkas are not psychopaths. Ready to slump someone just because it's a tuesday.
That being said, there are many nikkas who try to CREATE a situation where it's easy for the target to fumble in the way he moves and does or says something that could be an adrenaline kick and justification for a violent engagement.
Da Baby literally gave them NO lane to arrive at that type of conclusion.
The riskiest moment is when they asked, "yo... what's your rap name?"
That could have been a check mate... Had he said, "Oh, it's Da Baby". All it would have took is one nikka to be like, "fukk kind of name is that, nikka? We definitely need to know who gave you permission."
Because then, he'd have been checkmated into having to defend his name with some chest pumping shyt and disrespect.
Instead, he said, "my nikka, ask the person who told you I was here what my name is. Ain't no problems here, my nikka."
shyt was good.
