On Dec. 15, Babyface Ray (born Marcellus Rayvon Register) performed at The Fillmore Silver Spring in support of The Kid That Did, his fourth studio album. Known for his effortless, conversational flow and sharp wordplay, Ray has been building momentum over the past few years, and his latest project promises to be another milestone in his career.
Following the success of 2022’s FACE, which reached No. 3 on Apple Music’s all-genre chart and earned praise from outlets like Billboard and Complex, and MOB, which featured collaborations with heavyweights like Lil Durk and Blxst, Ray’s new work showcases an artist at the peak of his game. His recent singles “Green Carpet” and “Count Money” have been making the new album Babyface Ray’s biggest release yet.
Says Imprint, “With more pop-leaning choruses than his past works, ‘Green Carpet’ still features his languid, Detroit-style flows, mixing nightlife imagery with profound thoughts about family and the future.”
