Lil Baby under fire as Atlanta PD links rapper to teen murders in shocking accusation
Atlanta’s rap scene is facing serious turmoil after police linked well-known rapper Lil Baby to the tragic deaths of two teenagers, Jakody Davis and Lamon Freeman. Although the police didn’t directly name him in their first announcement, their description clarified who they were talking about. They suggest that his actions led to a dangerous situation that ended in these tragic events. Major Ralph Woolfolk from the Atlanta Police didn’t say that Lil Baby was the mastermind behind what happened but criticized what he called “cowardly acts” leading up to the violence.
He mentioned that the violence appeared to have been orchestrated by older individuals, adding, “And the cowardly acts of an Atlanta-based rapper who chose to go into a rival gang’s territory.” Channel 2 Action News confirmed that Lil Baby was the artist in question, which sparked a lot of controversy. The police have since reiterated their commitment to holding those accountable for these events, with Woolfolk stating, “This team will work relentlessly to hold you accountable.” As the community digests these serious accusations, the Atlanta police have also announced a reward of $50,000 for anyone with information about the shooting.
The case is drawing a lot of public attention, leading to discussions about the tricky balance between street reputation and legal accountability. Lil Baby, who has been an influential figure in Atlanta’s music scene and a proponent for change, now finds himself in a difficult situation that could impact both his career and personal freedom. Whether these claims have any truth to them is yet to be determined, but it’s clear that this situation is far from resolved.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
