Last week we touched base with Baby Jesus on his new visual, which was shot inside legendary rapper, Lil Boosie‘s mansion. Yesterday the pair seems to have gotten more work in as they dropped off a new remix of “Baby Jesus,” which features Lil Boosie on the second verse.

With a new project slated to drop off early summer 2016, its evident the North Carolina rapper is poised to make a name for himself and as you can see, the dude can spit. God’s Work is a project that will be full of surprises as well as the unique sound he has brought to the scene since his abrupt arrival. Baby Jesus is someone you want to keep an eye on and is a sure bet to make contributions to your playlist this calendar year. The youngest in charge, Baby Jesus, is becoming one of the youngest and most influential in the Greater Charlotte area.With style that matches no one in his age bracket and the sense to piece together his career at a more accelerated rate than those of his close elder, the phenom is more than someone you should look for. He’s a good investment.

While Baby Jesus’ career is still in the early stages, its becoming evermore apparent why he has been labeled as the next up from Charlotte. His unique flow, delivery, and unmatched work ethic have paid dividends thus far with no signs of slowing up. It has even been reported previously that Boosie has taken a strong interest into signing and developing Baby Jesus himself, which would be a dope idea considering Boosie’s great career thus far. Only time will tell if Baby Jesus has what it takes to make himself known nationwide but for now, lets it back and enjoy the new music.

Listen below as the duo trade raps over hard hitting southern style production from Justice League below.

Lil Boosie and Baby Jesus are a tandem in the making. North Carolina emcee Baby Jesus just released his second installment of ‘Who Is Baby Jesus’ Episode 2, and none other than Boosie and Skippa Da Flippa are notable rappers to appear. This could be a sign of things to come as the two develop a working relationship.

Giving viewers an experience that can’t be found anywhere else. Episode 2 also contains in studio footage of Baby Jesus and the rapper from Atlanta rap group MIGOS, Skippa Da Flippa, working on the remix to the well known Carolina Panthers Anthem “Dab City”.

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing a lot of creative artists perform live at the Fillmore for AMC’s Bodega in Charlotte, NC. The hip hop festival brought out a range of acts like Rashaun Hampton, Brio Ankh, 2chea The Zombie, Baby Jesus, Preme, YB, James Malik, Shac from da 3, Mar Reynolds, and even Bankroll Bird (who’s“True Story” video was recently posted on WSHH ).

These rappers didn’t just rap their singles and get off stage, but they actually PERFORMED. Whether it was jumping on stage with their supporters, sharing wise words, telling a story behind their name, or getting off stage with their mic to go into the audience, they did just that.  While watching them on stage, you could tell it was all just love. Even when each performer was done, they stayed on stage with their same exact energy to pass along to the next artist. Even though they all come from similar areas of Charlotte, no one’s sound or message was the same and that’s what made each artist stand out from the next . Rather you were familiar with their sound or not, they made sure that you would remember them for one thing if not another. After hours of multiple performances, the moment that everyone had been anticipating finally came. Curren$y was finally in the building and ready to shut down the festival performing singles like “Smoke Sumthin”, “Sixty-Seven Turbo Jet”, “ A Lil’ Sumthin”, “Elevator Musik” ,and more.

While doing his thang on the mic, he didn’t shy away from making a couple jokes in between nor from dedicating one of his songs to one of the audience members who got kicked out for having marijuana in his possession(aka having the ganja on deck). After the show, me and my director went backstage to await for an interview but sadly there was a little miscommunication. Nonetheless Curren$y, his management (Sam and Mousa) were great people and without them, witnessing a great performance wouldn’t have been possible. Hopefully we’ll continue to witness more greatness coming from Curren$y (*cough cough* and an interview sometime soon) as well as out of the “New Atlanta”, Charlotte.
