Babyface Ray initially released his MOB album back in December of 2022, an 18-track offering that featured features from an array of artists including Doe Boy, Lil Durk, King Hendrick$, GMO Stax, Samuel Shabazz, and more. There were several well-received singles that preceded the project, including “Spend It” and “Nice Guy” featuring Nija and Blxst. It has been a treat for his fans since the release of the album with a number of accompanying clips for tracks such as “Goofies,” “A1 Since Day 1” and “Crazy World.”
In the wake of his official follow-up, the Detroit rapper Babyface Ray returned yesterday with a brand new song titled “Ron Artest.” With help from another fellow Michigan rapper, 42 Dugg, the song pays homage to the charismatic former NBA player in honor of his birthday. A few basketball references are thrown in among the bars the two rappers trade back and forth as they trade off bars:
