Hot Singles on the Internet: Big Baby Ghandi's "Hi, It's Me, Baby"

By Rachel Schnalzer | February 9, 2012

Big Baby Ghandi, quirky Brooklyn Hip Hop artist, is fresh off the success of his much-talked about mixtape Big F***ing Baby, and bringing you this Single of the Week with his new song "Hi, It's Me Baby."

Big Baby Ghandi kills it with his nagging and unrelenting, yet not unpleasant, rapping while Hot Sugar (aka Nick Koenig) is featured with the beats.

The electronic beats, courtesy of Koenig, mix well with Big Baby Ghandi's voice, bringing to mind a foul-mouthed robot in the best possible way in "Hi, It's Me Baby."

It comes as no surprise that the two have announced they will be pairing up in the future.

"Hi, It's Me Baby" is refreshing in an age when most Hip Hop seems to be geared to the dance scene. Big Baby Ghandi makes no effort to infuse the track with pulsing beats. Instead, "Hi, It's Me Baby" is reminiscent of 1990s New York Hip Hop like Gangstarr.

It is purer, and much more direct than any other rap you'll find out there today. It also possesses a comparatively lighter and offbeat sense of humor, another rare quality in an era when artists make their million rapping about drug overdoses and other heavy subjects. Not that drug overdoses don't have their place, but somehow it feels refreshing when a Hip Hop artist unapologetically starts their track with "Holy s***, I don't really give a f***," as Big Baby does in this Single of the Week.

So everyone get on their laptops and download Big Baby's mixtape Big F***ing Baby and of course "Hi, It's Me Baby." It's perfect for a lazy weekend afternoon bumming around good ol' Baltimore.
