Every rapper contains multitudes, but BabyTron has layers. He\u2019s like an Everlasting Gobstopper whose outermost surface involves rhyming in a low-joy deadpan so mesmerizing, it currently stands as one of rap\u2019s coolest head fakes. It conceals his next layer, wit and absurdity, captured in an effusion of playtime lyrics about cartoons, NBA stars, sports cars, video games, misdemeanor fantasias and pharmacological fun times. But seemingly at his core, this young Michigan rapper is a technician \u2014 a detail-oriented blabbermouth prone to rhyming eight consecutive lines or more, frequently adopting lyrical premises that allow him to cycle through numbers or the letters of the alphabet. So to review: Inside the stoic is a comedian, and inside the comedian is a diligent rap student with a rhyming dictionary and a calculator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This all seemed evident onstage Wednesday night at the Fillmore in Silver Spring, where BabyTron added a sartorial layer to the mix \u2014 big coat, big sunglasses, big fountain of hair spouting out the backside of a baseball cap pulled low over the eyes. Never let \u2019em see you sweat, right? Or smile. Or wink. Or use any facial musculature that might signal what\u2019s really going on inside the Gobstopper. Which means BabyTron kept a straight face throughout the entirety of \u201cCrash Yo Whip Music<\/a>,\u201d his voice doing seriously propulsive work as he told a simile-rich ascension story about going from being \u201ctoasted like paninis,\u201d to feasting on \u201clinguine,\u201d to haunting a mansion \u201clike Luigi,\u201d then through an interlude involving a \u201csqueegee,\u201d a \u201cbikini,\u201d a swig of \u201cFiji\u201d and a slant-rhyme metaphor about NBA Hall of Famer Dirk \u201cNowitski,\u201d to ultimately feeling \u201clike da Vinci\u201d while \u201clooking at my bank account, someone come and pinch me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He was dashing up the mountain of life the way a kid climbs a jungle gym, and even if it didn\u2019t look like he was enjoying it much, of course he was. Stand-up comedians don\u2019t laugh at their own jokes. Magicians don\u2019t gasp at their own tricks. BabyTron certainly doesn\u2019t need to have all the fun the rest of us are having. Even his team of hype men spent the majority of the show standing sentinel at the front edge of the stage, barely half-nodding to the beat. They looked like they were waiting for the bus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for everyone else in the audience, they finally seemed to realize the bus wasn\u2019t coming roughly halfway through the set during \u201cZap Zone<\/a>,\u201d an energizing duet between BabyTron and the wild-style Milwaukee rapper Certified Trapper, each of their verses punctuated with riveting eighth-note hand claps. As the assembled flock eagerly raised their hands overhead to clap along, BabyTron posited himself as a shepherd of souls and an aggravated driver in the same ribbon of breath: \u201cHonking like a meanie in that \u2019ghini, catch me Lamb\u2019 pushing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There was more low-key razzle-dazzle, too. \u201cA2Z<\/a>\u201d gave BabyTron the opportunity to alphabetize his brags as if \u201cSesame Street\u201d were rated M for mature, while \u201cEx<\/a>\u201d \u2014 from his new album \u201cCase Dismissed\u201d \u2014 produced a list of hexes cast by a scorned lover. \u201cI hope mosquitoes bite her back where she can\u2019t reach,\u201d BabyTron rapped. \u201cI hope she grabs the last slice of pizza and drops it.\u201d Unsurprisingly, he didn\u2019t sound like a jilted hater so much as an inspired motormouth brainstorming bad fortunes. Let all those other rappers\u2019 hearts bleed. BabyTron\u2019s mind is at work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
