HoodyBaby, is a music artist, producer and songwriter from Dallas, Texas that works under 3 different aliases. In addition to HoodyBaby, the other 2 names to tell his story in music are Fat Leopard and Super Hood.

In his early 20’s, HoodyBaby used to go by the stage name HoodBoss and did a few features for Lil Ronnie and Tum Tum on songs such as “She’s All Mine“, “I’m From Dallas“, and “Backstabbers“. Getting shot and spending a couple of months in hospital made the Young Money artist decide to take his career seriously. During this time he chose to not let his writing and producing skills go to waste. He knew that if he stayed in the streets his only options would be jail or death. Hood officially signed to Young Money as an artist in 2015 and he also has a production deal with Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.

Florida native, Baby E., is rumoured to be the latest addition to the label Young Money.  In a recent interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, they broke down Baby E’s journey with Dr. Luke, who signed Katy Perry, and label Young Money.

Baby E.’s story differs from other potential Young Money signees. He’s been working behind the scenes learning the rules of today’s pop landscape with the help of songwriting savant Dr. Luke, who signed E to a publishing deal several years ago. And if E’s artist deal is made official — over the phone, Luke says, “we’re actually finalizing that deal right now” — he will be signed by both Young Money and Luke. (Representatives of Young Money did not respond to requests for comment.)

Rolling Stone spoke with E about his musical background, his smart decision to keep “Finessin” for himself and his connection with Young Money.

As the story develops more, check out the Finessin Remix with Kevin Gates & Lil Bibby below.
