Philmon Lee – “Baby Don’t Cry”: We featured this song before, but we had to circle back to it because it’s a surefire hit. From the Epic Records artist Philmon Lee, who spoke with Prelude Press about the single stating;
“It was really a blessing. Thug heard a couple of my tracks and wanted to meet me. I went to the studio, and I played him a bunch of records. A couple of weeks later, we got together again, and he hopped on ‘Baby Don’t Cry’. Honestly, he’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He’s really humble, and he gave me a lot of gems about the industry. Lyrically, it’s about a girl whose feelings are hurt by another dude, and you’re trying to relate to her and let her know you’re the better option.“
