Lil Baby <\/a><\/strong>chopped it up with Posted On The Corner\u2019s Incoginto<\/strong> to discuss the importance of voting and how his perspective on politics over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Election Day, the Atlanta rapper was on the frontlines, encouraging young people to make their voices heard. Wham has made it a point to use his platform to influence the next generation, urging them to make informed decisions and stand up for that they believe in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His commitment to speaking out was evident when he released The Bigger Picture in 2020 amid nationwide protests and growing calls for social change. The powerful record addressed police brutality and racial injustice, showing how the rapper was willing to use his voice to speak on issues affecting his community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a visit to Hot 107.9 in Atlanta, Baby opened up to Incognito about his political growth and realizing that encouraging people to vote can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Only thing I can do is I hope that me advising people to go out and vote make a difference. Every vote counts and I was one of the people that actually believed that voting don’t do nothing for us. But the more I grow and the more I understand politics and the community it actually does matter.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
