BABY T’s new single is calling it, and it’s saying that change isn’t on the way; it’s arrived. The track, “Things About To Change,” features recording artist Fruit Vendor. The sharp beats and introspection meld weight and electric urgency, all delivered in furious conviction with a thought-provoking message.
The production on the song is just dark and aggressive, gritty and futuristic-sounding, but the heavy-hitting percussion is offset by melodic parts that provide the track's power and heart. The lyrics, which speak about industry disillusionment and personal reinvention, are confident yet grounded, cutting through the noise. On the other hand, Fruit Vendor matches those bouncy vibes with energetic textures, and there’s a synergy there that sounds both of the moment and deliberate.
BABY T challenges the old with a fiercely independent perspective on what’s ahead. “Things About to Change” is a mirror to hip-hop’s perpetual shifting of its form, its too many ‘isms and zigzags, reminding us that if you’re standing still and not moving along to a real dope beat, then you might just get left behind. The track is both a challenge and a battle cry, daring us to start riding the wave, embracing chaos, and writing our narrative.
BABY T carves out room as a boundary-pusher who’s unafraid to evolve in public. “Things About to Change” not only emphasizes a moment of change, it conjures it, providing a soundtrack to the very motion it gives voice to. It’s the song that sticks in your head and your brain.
