BabyChiefDoit shares new single “Fried Chicken”
On the heels of his viral Mafiathon 3 x On The Radar freestyle, Chicago rap phenom BabyChiefDoit has just released his newest single, “Fried Chicken” –– out now via APG. The single arrives a day before BabyChiefDoit’s sold-out homecoming show at the Avondale Music Hall in Chicago — his first in a run of shows that will include a supporting slot for Key Glock at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado alongside SahBabii and Chuckyy. “Fried Chicken” is the latest release in BabyChiefDoit‘s ongoing breakthrough year as he continues to flaunt his signature energetic bar work and charisma. The accompanying video finds BabyChiefDoit turning up to the new track outside of a Popeyes, with his steadfast confidence and unfiltered bars on full display –– “claimin’ that they shooters, they won’t hurt a fly”.
“Fried Chicken” follows a strong run of releases that includes his viral self-produced single “WENT WEST” (70M+ Streams), its subsequent Genius Open Mic performance, “Mr. President” (4M+ Streams), and July’s Lyrical Lemonade Lunch Break Freestyle. After being named one of COMPLEX‘s 25 Rappers To Watch In 2025 in January, BabyChiefDoit has spent the rest of the year living up to the title. He was subsequently selected as a 2025 XXL Freshman, performed at Summer Smash in his hometown of Chicago (where he premiered his viral track “WENT WEST”, leading to his debut on the Billboard charts, where it peaked at #71 on the Hot 100). Last month, he was also featured on “Drapetomania”(5M+ Streams) off of Chance the Rapper‘s STAR LINEalbum, and was crowned as Billboard‘s September Hip-Hop Rookie of the Month. Through it all, BabyChiefDoithas proved he’s more than just a student of drill –– he embodies the genre, making it a part of his identity and is carrying the torch for the new generation of Chicago Hip-Hop.
With a steady stream of energetic releases and raw, unfiltered lyricism, BabyChiefDoit has quickly made a name for himself within his city and beyond. Early singles like “The Viper” (120M+ Streams), “6ix Times 2Day”(30M+ Streams), and “Snooze You Lose” (40M+ Streams) laid the groundwork for his grassroots following, drawing attention to his unique sound that bridges the gap between Chicago drill and Southern trap. Tracks like “Look Up” and “EBGDITB” (35M+ Streams) off his 2024 debut mixtape, ANIMALS ONLY, demonstrate his ability to blend chaotic beats with relentless, pedal-to-the-metal raps, while songs like “Drowned” add a layer of emotional depth through his sing-rap delivery. His creative approach, from his apocalyptic beats to his lyrical rawness, have led to collabs with the likes of PlaqueBoyMax and Nino Paidon “Cooln” (24M+ Streams) and Baby Kia for “NEW AGE YN”. As he continues to build his name, BabyChiefDoit is bringing the sound of Chicago to a global audience while staying true to his roots in the process.
