Today we’d like to introduce you to Baby Kuda.
Hi Baby, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Okay, so growing up, I used to always hear Drake and Future’s songs because my older sister was a fan. They made music I thought was cool, but it wasn’t really my lane. Later on, I found this YouTuber named RiceGum. He used to make all kinds of videos, but around the time I started watching him, he was beefing with another YouTuber. They ended up making diss tracks, dropping them on YouTube, and even shooting videos for them. I became a fan of that style. It had a drill-like energy, but the lyrics carried it—so the beat didn’t need to be drill for it to hit. It was different in its own way. That’s when I decided I wanted to make my own music. I’ve got a lot more inspirations I could mention, but this moment really showed me that anyone can rap if their heart’s in it. Long story short, I recorded my first song on an iPad using one of RiceGum’s diss track instrumentals and it went from there.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Making music always comes with ups and downs. For a long time I was focused on trying to please my audience, giving them what I thought they wanted instead of creating what I genuinely wanted to share. But I’ve learned that when I create with the intent to make people feel something through my honesty and energy, it resonates way more. It hits deeper than just trying to chase something that might go viral. I believe all that success comes naturally when the music is real. Especially when you’ve built a real fan base.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
When it comes to making music, I like to live in real life. I go through the ups and downs, and when I’m in the right mode and a good mood, that’s when I create. My primary sound leans toward my own take on Michigan beats, but no matter what beat I’m on, I’m known for my out-of-pocket punchlines. I also make dark humor music and emotional humor too. My sound isn’t for people who get offended easily.
If I had to say what I’m most proud of, it’s the fact that I haven’t given up, despite everything that’s happened since I started. What sets me apart is how I incorporate anime into every part of my art. I also rarely do songs with other artists.
How do you define success?
Sustained efforts regardless if there seen.
