Babyface Ray Talks New Album, How He Cleared the ‘GoldenEye’ Beat, & Meeting Rich Paul

Detroit rapper Babyface Ray recently dropped one of the best rap albums of the yea with 'The Kid That Did.'

The Kid That Did, released on September 13, is his fourth solo album and his first since his Wavy Gang label entered a partnership with Empire earlier this year. Well, it turns out that Kirkhope was already familiar with Ray’s music and gladly offered to collaborate with Treeze to make a version of the beat that would work for all parties involved. I caught up with Ray at the Billboard ‘s New York office, where we talked about the making of what is probably the most important album of his career, how his rap style is informed by his parents and how he managed to get Rich Paul on the outro.
