You know, of course there's no need to look at the charts because little baby's not on it. But beside that fact, we're going to get into just the quality of this track, band for band, because you can't say the same for Central C. As he has success on the charts with Sprinter, the track he collaborated with Dave. And of course, he got shout out by Kim Kardashian, which is very interesting because Kim also gets a shout out in Little Baby's verse. But besides that fact, Central C, the kiddleroy and Junkook had a successful track as too much debuted at number one on the digital song sales chart.

And then of course you can't forget that the Pink Pantherous, hopefully I said her name right, track had success on the charts. and it was one of those where it was out of the blue because Central C and Peak Panthers, you would think don't really have cohesion as far as sonically, but they made it work and I really enjoyed that track. So as far as the charts, Centracy has had way more impact versus Little Baby. That's what I wanted to put forth.

So now get into this specific segment. I want to talk about something very interesting. If Central C and Little Baby made a collab mixtape, I think it could have the same amount of impact as Gunna, no, no, no, as Little Dirk and Little Baby's collab album. I forget what that's called. I think it was the Voice of the Heroes or whatever. Voice.

Yeah. The Voice of the. the heroes that album with little baby and little dirk that was released june 4th 2021 if little baby convinces centracy to do an entire body of work with him i think it could be the same effect for him that it had for little dirk when this collab album the voice of the heroes was released now hear me out only reason i'm saying that is because i think this track band for band it's pretty soft it I like the sonics of a UK rapper along with the Atlanta flow because I believe that's very unique and not something we get often. Some people would say we get it in combination to shout out

my man Drake and 21 Savage but obviously those are just jokes and he's already debunked the rumor that he grew up in the UK. So now that UK and Atlanta has been split apart by 21 Savage, we can put it back together with Central C and Little Baby. As the overall back and forth of the track makes it feel like they actually was in the same studio making this track. Because if you don't know, if you just send somebody a track with a verse on it and an open verse, there's not no back and forth that could happen because you're sending back verses.

Like, it would be 10 times harder to go back and forth from two separate studios than in the same studio, which is why I believe they made this track in the same studio. So I think that lended to higher quality in this specific track. And when Central C has certain freestyles like, I think it was called on the radar freestyle he had with Drake, those were pretty fire, which is the callback to the combination. That's where that came from. So little baby obviously has had trouble when it came to public perception. And that's because the one to know academics has such a influential hold over the culture but one of the things that stood out to me was little baby's verse when he said of course and this is in a band for band little baby said of course

you can beat me at talking ain't no back and forth wait till we catch up with him knocking a bag and making the opposites mad i don't fell in love with it now of course that could be attributed to anybody right but as far as talking and of course you you can beat me at talking who y'all think he's talking about i think when he catches academics if he ever catches academics it's going to be a sad day in history because uh they're going to do that man dirty so just putting it out to plain and obvious that little baby can't wait to see academics you know we don't advocate for violence but somebody has to point it out just the case law enforcement wants to get involved you know what i'm saying but anyway uh centric see a little baby this

track is fire. I like the back and forth. I like the vocal inflection for both of them. Their cadence is infectious as far as just having a strong UK accent along with a strong galana flow. It's just I didn't think it could mesh this well. And for them to pull this off, I want to see what a whole project would do. I don't think Central C would agree to that. But if I'm little baby, I'm pleading, begging for Central C to make an entire project with me so I can rejuvenate my career. But what do y'all think? Click my link to my bio.

Let me know on one of my social medias. What do you think about Little Baby and Central Sea going back and forth on Band for Band? And at the end of the day, would you want a Central Sea and Little Baby collaborative project?
