Lil Baby's undoubtedly one of the hottest artists in the streets right now. Over the past year, he's worked extremely hard and delivered a consistent stream of mixtapes. By the end of 2017, he was recognized as one of the most promising young artists coming out of Atlanta. A few weeks a go, the rapper released his debut album, Harder Than Ever. We recently caught up with Lil Baby at our office where he joined us for the latest episode of "How To Roll."

Lil Baby pulled up for the latest episode of "How To Roll" where he revealed his favorite and least favorite strains, favorite munchies and more. He also shared that PeeWee Longway put him on to Backwoods.

"I probably [started] smoking Backwoods four or five years a go." He said after admitting that he used to smoke Swishers. "PeeWee Longway, he put him onto Backwoods. He turned a lot of folks onto Backwoods whether they give him the credit or not."

It's interesting he said that because we had PeeWee Longway on "How To Roll" two weeks a go and he admitted that it was Waka Flocka that initially put him onto Backwoods.
