Raw. Real. Ready: “Things About To Change” Sets the Tone
2 min read
“Things About To Change” immediately grabs your attention from the onset. You’re not left waiting for the beat to drop; it hits with weight and purpose, giving BABY T the perfect space to step up to the mic and let it rip. It’s an anthem of sorts, but far from being preachy. As soon as he starts spitting, there’s no doubt that this isn’t just talk about change; this is change in motion. This is the call-out rap of all call out raps. He’s sick and tired of it all, but most importantly, he’s putting in the work to make a difference. His verses reflect struggle, hope, and personal evolution not just as an artist but as a man. There’s a clear message here for everyone feeling locked out of systems that were never built for them in the first place.

It stands out because it doesn’t sound like most records today. The delivery is confident without tipping into arrogance. Vulnerability is woven into strength, and vice versa a rare balance that this track handles with finesse. The influence of KRS-ONE’s 2002 track of the same name isn’t just a reference, it’s a respectful continuation. This isn’t about recreating the past; it’s about building on it, pushing the legacy forward. There’s no sampling, no cheap nostalgia just a raw acknowledgment of what came before. This track doesn’t chase trends or popularity. It demands to be heard. The production is stripped down intentionally, making space for BABY T’s words to hit with maximum impact. Each syllable feels deliberate nothing is filler. There’s a fire in his delivery, like someone who’s been holding back for years and has finally found the mic.
As a standalone hip-hop single, “Things About To Change” is a game changer. It’s refreshing a necessary break from the overproduced, algorithm chasing noise that dominates the charts. It proves that message driven music still belongs in modern hip-hop. There’s no bubblegum, no corny flexing just truth. And that truth hits hard. BABY T has made it clear, he’s not here to play. With his album ’40’ on the horizon, this track feels like a bold first step into something bigger. If this is the tone he’s setting, the rest of the album could very well mark a defining moment in his career.
