Bred in New York, raised by the Big Apple and those good ole' Sunny Grits of Florida, Sauce.Babyyy's music is as textured as his upbringing. That dichotomy is evident in "CheatCodes." There's a mellow nonchalance to his flow, a low-key delivery that doesn't beg for attention, but gets it anyway. The beat sways with jazzy undercurrents, anchoring the track in a smoke-filled mellowness that suggests it's coasting under city lights with the windows down. Sauce. Babyyy lays out musings that indicate he's cracked some internal game. You can hear the tension between ambition and reality, between pursuing goals and staying grounded. It's Conscious Hip-Hop, but not in an overly abstract sense. Instead, it's personal, intimate, and honest.
This track combines East Coast grit with Southern smoothness. It's jazz and boom-bap all remodeled. Sauce.Babyyy is not out here trying to be anyone else. He's on his own lane, and "CheatCodes" is a confident stride even further into that musical self. For those enamored of genre-blending hip-hop that's as lyrically spiky as its production is butter-smooth, Sauce. Babyyy is one to watch. "CheatCodes" is a sign that he is playing on his own terms, and leveling up each and every time he presses go.
