Baby Kingpin: East Oakland’s Rising Star Using Music and Movement for Change

Straight out of East Oakland, California, Baby Kingpin is not just an up-and-coming artist—he’s a movement. Born and raised in one of the most dangerous cities in America, Baby Kingpin is turning his reality into rhythm, passion into purpose, and a mic into a megaphone for his community.

Music began as a hobby, but quickly turned into a calling. Encouraged by his brothers and respected peers in the industry who recognized his unique sound and raw talent, Baby Kingpin finally stopped sleeping on himself—and started building his legacy. His debut music video “Up Now”, filmed independently and available on all platforms, marks the beginning of something bigger than just music.

In 2025, Baby Kingpin made history as the first artist in Oakland to host a city-wide water balloon and water gun fight—a groundbreaking event focused on violence prevention and unity across all ages and races. It was more than a moment; it was a message. In a city ranked consistently among the top 5 most dangerous in the world, he’s proving that healing can come from creativity, not conflict.

His motto, “Guns Down, Bottles Up,” isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s a lifestyle and a call to action. Through his lyrics, community engagement, and relentless drive, Baby Kingpin is showing that change doesn’t always come from the top—it starts in the neighborhoods, on the block, and in the booth.

With a growing catalog of singles and a wave of momentum behind him, Baby Kingpin is truly “Up Now”—not just in music, but in heart, hope, and hustle. Keep your eyes on East Oakland… and stay tuned.
