Rising artist Babystrikerr is steadily carving his place in the music scene with a unique approach to creativity and audience connection. He opens up about how he decides which tracks make it onto his albums, how fan reactions shape his sound, and why versatility is key to staying relevant. When it comes to choosing songs for an album or playlist, he shares: “My playlist selection process involves letting a couple of people hear snippets of the songs. Whatever song gets the most ‘yes’ votes is what goes on the album. I value other people’s reactions before I drop a song.”
For Babystrikerr, his fans play a major role in guiding his direction. Reflecting on one recent moment, he states: “A song of mine that surprised me by connecting with my fans in unexpected ways was a recently dropped snippet I uploaded on Instagram. I received a lot of love on it, and it showed me that I need to maintain the style I have. I know I can be versatile, but sometimes I have to give my fans what they want to hear. If I want their support, I can’t just think about myself, because they are the ones supporting me too.” That balance between artistic freedom and listener expectation is a challenge for many artists.
Babystrikerr explains how his own style has evolved over time. He shares, “When I’m working on new music, I balance experimenting with new sounds and sticking to what my audience loves. At first, I was just using old Gucci Mane–type beats, since those were my favorites. However, after a while, I realized that if every song sounded the same, people wouldn’t want to listen. I understand that it’s okay to maintain my style, but I also have to switch it up a little. “Through this thoughtful process, Babystrikerr has built a deeper connection with his fans, proving that listening to his audience while staying true to his craft creates lasting impact. His journey is just beginning, but his commitment to balancing versatility with fan connection sets him apart as an artist to watch.
