After growing up listening to R&B and soulful music, Raq Baby eventually gravitated toward the gritty sounds of his birthplace's most notable voices, Chief Keef and Lil Durk. He started to write his own music and create songs alongside several producers including his childhood friend Josh100k. Raq Baby first commanded everyone's attention in 2023 when he shared his breakthrough single "Soldier Love," a drill-type banger that samples Robin S' classic "Show Me Love." The song appeared on his first major body of work Maniac Baby, which holds 12 tracks in total.

Since then, Raq Baby has become addicted to the studio. He put out multiple projects over the past two years including Bloody Holiday (2023), El Peligro (2023), Abstruse and Abstruse (Deluxe), which dropped last year. The latter project contains 26 tracks including his collaboration with VonOf1700 "Daytona." Raq Baby followed up a few months later with his stand-out mixtape Spill Season. That project holds 17 songs like "Got It Tucked," which contains a rare Prince Royce sample, and "3am" featuring YTB Fatt.

"Fatt is my brother," Raq Baby says. "We got some more s**t going on."
