DeeBaby Previews Upcoming LP With A Double-Serve of Heaters
DeeBaby’s melodic drawl entrances with easygoing flexes even as he hints as his past trauma. Treating his fans to two helpings from his upcoming album, “Ms. Salazar,” the Houston rapper shares a new video for his songs “Private Planes” and “Controversial.” No stranger to combining two songs into one epic video–his 2023 “Listen To Her Heart & Numb” combo has over 29 million YouTube views–DeeBaby offers an extended glimpse at his life of luxury.
In “Private Planes,” a minor-key player’s anthem, the artist dresses to the nines with sparkling buffs and a tailored white suit as he enjoys a seaside vacation. The touching trap ballad “Controversial” takes place on one of the artist’s private plane trips back to his hometown, the image befitting the high-flying lyrics and his contemplation of his public perception.
“This new track was inspired by a real-life encounter,” DeeBaby says of “Private Planes.”
“Fresh off a private jet in a new city, I stopped at a store and someone asked if I was a rapper. When another person confirmed it was me, I replied, ‘I’m a superstar don’t act like you don’t know my name.’ That one line sparked a whole song. It’s about staying true to yourself, proving doubters wrong, and owning your success. It’s raw, honest, and full of energy. This is one of my favorite tracks to date, and I think it’ll resonate with anyone who’s ever felt underestimated.”
“Private Plane” and “Controversial” join the romantic “Mírame Baby,” and the Kodak Black-endorsed, YouTube-trending “Half A Ticket” as highlights from the upcoming album “Ms. Salazar.” Dedicated to DeeBaby’s chosen (non-biological) grandmother, the woman who took him in and nurtured him when he was all out of options, the album explores the theme of chosen family, and how blood isn’t always the element that makes the strongest human connection.
The follow-up to last year’s “Can You Hear Me Now?” tape and his breakout 2023 effort “Junkie Mode,” “Ms. Salazar” arrives soon via Already Platinum / Create Music Group.
With “Ms. Salazar” on deck, DeeBaby is looking to build on his groundswell of support and become a national name. Stay tuned for much more from DeeBaby in 2025.
