Career
[edit]In 2018, Baby Gang released his debut single, "Street", in Calolziocorte. He would release two other singles, "Education" and "Cella 1", in 2019, which were inspired by his experiences in jail.[2]
In May 2021, Baby Gang released his debut EP, EP1;[3] it would peak at number 15 on the FIMI Albums Chart. He would release his second EP, Delinquente, the same year;[4] it peaked at number 7 on the same chart.
Legal issues
[edit]Between 2020 and 2021, Baby Gang was convicted on several crimes, including defamation, infringement of intellectual property, and others.[1]
On 20 August 2021, he received a D.A.SPO. (a banning order) from Milan police for two years alongside Rondodasosa following riots at a disco; the order prevented him from entering bars, discos and public places in the city.[5] In April 2022, an exemption was made in order to allow him to play at a club in Milan on 9 May.[6]
In January 2023, Baby Gang was arrested alongside two other rappers for four robberies committed in Milan and Sondrio; it was alleged that the three rappers were behind the robberies.[1] In April, he was charged with resisting arrest after attacking two police officers and fleeing a traffic stop.[7]
On 26 January 2023, he was sentenced to four years and 10 months in prison.[8]
On 1 July 2024, he was acquitted on appeal in a robbery trial.[9]
