Lil Baby Signs New Artist To 4PF
Lil Baby has made it a point to not only become one of the leading recording artists in the world, dominating this year with his double-platinum album My Turn and his high-charting single “The Bigger Picture”, but to also become a trusted executive in the industry.
Much like Young Thug, Yo Gotti, Rick Ross, and other bosses before him, Lil Baby is learning how to be great on the business side of music, tapping into the streets and signing artists to his own 4PF label.

So far, he’s elevated the careers of 42 Dugg (in a joint deal with CMG), Rylo Rodriguez, and other rising stars.
He recently teased that he would be signing his first woman artist, hinting that she was a great singer. We’ve finally learned her identity as, this week, Lil Baby announced the signing of Chalynn Moneè to 4PF.
The Atlanta-based artist has already earned co-signs from SZA, Tay Keith, and Calboy and, now, she’s about to earn a lot more attention as she continues her career with 4PF.
“Congratulations @chalynnmonee ! Welcome To The Team,” wrote Baby on Instagram. “Also Want To Thank You For Trusting Me An My Label With Your Career !! I Gotcha. Let’s Goooooo.”
As her career develops, we’ll keep you posted with news about Chalynn Moneè, as well as Lil Baby and other 4PF artists.
Congrats, Chalynn!

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.

Devan Ibiza adds soul and reflection on new release “Portland”
With “Portland,” Devan Ibiza creates a warm, thoughtful, atmospheric hip-hop record rooted in boom-bap’s deep, reflective energy. Soulful production and introspective mood make it a quiet moment of thought rather than a distraction.
“Portland” embodies classic hip-hop. Boom-bap gives it a rhythmic foundation, and warm, soulful production draws listeners in. This beat is perfect for contemplation, letting emotion and thought flow.
The single’s mood adds interest. Devan Ibiza values subtlety and atmosphere over loudness and trends. The song’s restraint is its strength. Late-night thoughts, personal memories, and quiet realizations make “Portland” contemplative.
Devan Ibiza’s release is well-paced emotionally. Since the song is never rushed or crowded, its atmosphere can naturally resonate. That patience gives “Portland” a timeless quality usually reserved for classic hip-hop stories and soulful underground records.
