KOCH Records/Big Oomp Records recording artist Baby D is being held without bond in
Ohio on federal charges for allegedly trafficking cocaine. Baby D vehemently
disputes these allegations. He is being held in the Butler County Jail which
also houses people held on federal charges. Baby D was arrested in Dayton, Ohio
on March 26, 2008 and continues to be held without bail. He also has three
pending assault charges in Tennessee where he has a bond set. A warrant
for his arrest in Georgia was recently dismissed.
How this will affect the release of his new album, A-Town
Secret Weapon (April 29th, 2008) is still unclear. Baby D has
cultivated a loyal following of fans in his native Decatur and throughout
Atlanta who have been chanting and bouncing with him for years. He made his
move into rap music when he met hip-hop entrepreneur and retail powerhouse Big
Oomp in 1994. Oomp was preparing to launch his record label, Big Oomp Records,
and quickly signed the young rapper.
Baby D released his first album, Off Da Chain, at the young
age of 16. His acclaimed follow-up Lil’ Chopper Toy was released two years
later
Baby D’s first single “I’m Bout Money” produced by DJ Montay (Flo Rida feat. T-Pain
“Get Low,” UNK “Walk It Out,” “2
Step”) can be heard on urban radio, and the video is currently airing BET and
MTV Jams. The new album A-Town Secret Weapon will feature appearances by Shawty Lo & Gucci Mane among others.
