DeeBaby: The ‘Half a Ticket’ music video demands your full attention

Keeping it fully 100? This is why I love Attack The Culture so much. One moment you’re keeping tabs on Uncle Murda’s ‘Rap Up 2024’ and Drake teasing new audio fire brewing then you’re getting put onto a newcomer like DeeBaby showing out with a fire ‘Half a Ticket’ anthem. My goodness.

DeeBaby delivers with the ‘Half a Ticket’ music video

Keeping it a super 100? The song itself is fire enough. Then adding in the visual glowing of what DeeBaby brings to the table? Beyond must-see and someone I’m now keeping tabs on - fully.

DeeBaby is one of Houston’s hottest rising stars - just ask Kevin Gates who literally refers to the rapper as "the Mexican Kevin Gates." Since his 2021 breakout hit “Marz” (23M YouTube views), the 28-year-old has solidified his place in Texas’s street rap scene, earning co-signs from Kevin Gates and collaborating with names like YTB Fatt and Big Homiie G. This week, DeeBaby dropped “Half A Ticket,” a soulful Southern anthem reflecting on his journey from struggle to success. The video, showcasing his mansion and accolades, has already amassed 882k views and cracked YouTube’s Top 40 Trending Chart. The single is a preview of Miss Salazar, his upcoming album dedicated to the woman who raised him when no one else would, arriving this February. With every release, DeeBaby proves he’s not just a rapper—he’s a voice for the streets, building a legacy on his own terms.
