Before you answer that, let me tell you about this B.a.b.y. then you can decice if you want to adopt or whatever.

Being a Black Youth- is the latest Brainchild of me, One be Lo, aka B.a.b.y.d.a.d.d.y. Many of the lyrics from the album I have posted in blogs, so you can go back a get a feel of what I'm talking about on the record. Most of it is personal, stories of different situations I dealt with growing up. But these are experiences that many of us share to some degree. So I based most of it from my own life, but the album is not only about me, it's about the experience of youth, and of people in general. Since I can't speak for all youth, I reached out to a few artist from different parts of the country that I knew could bring different perspectives, and they filled in the blanks. Topics range from Family, to love, from economics to music, basically just everyday life for a youth. We all know how complex things can be growing up, not only in America, but all over the world. Baby is an acronym that ultimately stands for Being A Black Youth. I grew up as a black youth, but it's not about just being "black". There are many experiences that we all share as youth and when you here the album you might find yourself saying, "I'm not black, but I can relate to that too." So you can make your own Acronym(Being a Blonde youth-lol). There are many youth out there not just black you, who who feel "Blue". They have felt "betrayed", "belittled"...they have been "beaten" and "battered". Many us go through our own struggles sometimes starting the day we are born. Now don't get me wrong, this album is not all about struggle. This is also about Being a "Brave" youth, or being "brilliant". We have/had our share of bad times, and good ones too. So regardless of the situation, the overall message is- "If it don't kill you, it makes you stronger. Black, blue, blonde, brown or whatever, we all are "Blessed". Whether you are 9 months old, or 90 years old...at one point your were a youth, and this album is for you. So stay tuned for the birthdate...

Oh yeah, what will the b.a.b.y. look like you may wonder? I'll give you a couple b.a.b.y. features: Akir, Guilty Simpson, Illite, Juice, Ka Di, Octane, Phonte, Royce da 5'9, Supastition, and Zion I just to name a few. There are more surprises as well, that i'm sure many people won't expect but the whole point is to cover the many experiences of being a black youth. Expect to hear production that invoke passion throughout the album. Expect to hear One Be Lo bouncing off singers and emcee's like you've never heard before. Expect to hear the truth.

Peace

One Be Lo aka B.a.b.y. d.a.d.d.y.
