North Carolina’s DaBaby continues to stay active as he moves closer to the release of what will be his fifth studio album. On January 16, the “Suge” hitmaker is set to unveil BE MORE GRATEFUL, following a steady run of EPs and mixtapes that have kept his output consistent. His most recent full length album arrived in 2022 with Baby On Baby 2. As of now, he has shared five songs tied to the upcoming project, with “Don’t Insult Me” serving as the latest preview. The track leans into an energetic and lightly melodic trap sound, with DaBaby delivering a clear message to anyone thinking about testing him. One of his children also appears to make a moment on the record, stepping in with a playful defense of her father by saying, “You gon’ watch how you talk to my daddy.” DaBaby has been involving his kids throughout this album rollout, particularly in the visuals that have accompanied the release.

So don't insult me (Insult me), 'cause I done work hard for this
Now n****s salty (N****s salty), ungrateful for the time I spent
That's when n****s lost me (Lost me), I'm all for playin' my part
So don't insult me
N****, don't insult me
Thirteendegrees° is an artist who is quickly becoming a fan-favorite. His production choices are phenomenal. With sampled vocals and wavy soundscapes hanging in the background, Thirteendegrees° is able to deliver some sensational melodies. While some will immediately compare his voice to Young Thug's, it is clear that he is his own artist. The new song "DWNTWN LUV" is a perfect example of this. The song has a sweet meaning to it, as he sings about a woman who has become the center of his life. Meanwhile, the maximalist approach to production carries the song forward. This is a great effort, and we are very excited to hear more.
