KC HOOD Reviews: DaBaby – Be More Grateful

Presented by HOOD Illustrated x Kontent Creatives Media 

Out of the new Be More Grateful project, DaBaby delivers 23 tracks—and 10 of them are undeniably solid, with several standing out as certified street bangers.

From the jump, the tone is set with “Sticks and Stones” as the intro—raw, focused, and unapologetic. Standout performances include “Rain Rain,” “Letter to My YN,” “Marinating,”and  “PBJT” ..these are records that balance street energy with perspective and growth. These tracks hit hard while still staying rooted in DaBaby’s foundation.

The album maintains momentum deep into the tracklist, with certified HOOD hits like “Baby Daddy Music,” which flips the classic Jodeci sample—that’s the one. “What About Me” takes listeners down memory lane, reminding everyone where the grind started, while “PaperLow” reinforces the hunger that built the movement from the ground up.

Overall, the project shows maturity without losing edge. DaBaby has always been steady, but this album feels intentional—especially following his joint project with Fetty P Franklin, released just weeks prior. That work ethic shows.

KC HOOD VERDICT

🔥 4.5 out of 5 Fires

Out of 23 tracks, 16 pass the HOOD Test, with 10 top-tier bangers leading the pack.

This isn’t just a return—it’s a reminder.
