Baby Tate Rails Against True Love On The Dismissive ‘S.L.O. (Slut Him Out)’
Baby Tate, who previously went by Yung Baby Tate, had her moment in the spotlight with 2020’s After The Rain. Months later, she dropped a deluxe reissue that added six songs to the original seven that appear on the project, which delivered collaborations with Flo Milli and fellow Atlanta native 6lack. After keeping things cool in 2021, Baby Tate, complete with a new name, is back in action with her latest single, “S.L.O. (Slut Him Out).” The track is quite the dismissive effort as she shuts down the idea of true romance and instead opts for a brief moment of freaky fun.
The new single comes after Baby Tate and 21 Savage appeared alongside JID on his most recent single, “Surround Sound.” The track closed with a verse from Baby Tate that was cut off after a few verses. This prompted fans to request the full version, something she delivered at the end of last month. Its release came in the form of a video posted to Twitter that captured twerking in the mirror. Prior to that, she released her “Pedi” single and dropped “Dungarees” for the soundtrack to Halle Berry’s film Brusied.
You can listen to “S.L.O. (Slut Him Out)” in the video above.
Baby Tate is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
JID, 21 Savage, And Baby Tate Fire Shots Louder Than ‘Surround Sound’ On Their Hard-Hitting Collaboration
JID has spent the past two years working on his upcoming album, The Forever Story. He seemed ready to release it in 2020, but uncertainty behind sharing a project during a pandemic caused the rapper to hold off on its release as he revealed during a string of tweets that year. “I’m tryna line it up perfect cuz it’s hard to create in uncertain times,” he wrote. The following year, he teased the project once again by sharing in-studio shots with collaborators like 6lack, Buddy, Denzel Curry, Rico Nasty, and Smino. This year, it seems like the cards have fallen in the right place for the arrival of The Forever Story.
JID kicks off his 2022 campaign with his brand new single, “Surround Sound.” The track features contributions from 21 Savage and Baby Tate for what amounts to a hard-hitting release. JID leads the way with a quickfire verse that sits perfectly over the song’s thumping production. 21 Savage checks in for a menacing verse and Baby Tate closes out the first half of the song with fluttering vocals to bring those to an end. JID then returns to lay another cut-throat to conclude his grand return. The single also arrives with a matching video that captures JID, 21 Savage, and Baby Tate out on the prowl for some late-night fun.
For what it’s worth, JID hasn’t left us high and dry with music since his 2018 sophomore album DiCaprio 2. He delivered multiple verses on Dreamville’s Revenge Of The Dreamers III and Spillage Village’s Spilligion. He also delivered guest verses for Khalid, Imagine Dragons, Lute, Masego, Doja Cat, Conway The Machine, and more.

Baby Tate Trains Hard For An Upcoming Battle In Her Hard-Hitting Video For ‘Dungarees’
Months after she blessed us with the deluxe version of After The Rain, Baby Tate is hitting back to new releases. She kicked things off by dropping “Pedi” at the end of last month. Now, she’s back in action with her latest, “Dungarees” — a hard-hitting track whose new video finds her training heavily for an upcoming battle. The song is set to appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming film Bruised, which marks the directorial debut of Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry.
The entire Bruised soundtrack is also notable for a special reason: It marks the first-ever all-female hip-hop soundtrack. In addition to with Baby Tate, there’s Cardi B, City Girls, Saweetie, Latto, HER, Young M.A, Flo Milli, Rapsody, Ambre, Dream Doll, Erica Banks, and more. The soundtrack will be released this Friday, November 19.
Prior to sharing the “Dungarees” video, Baby Tate connected with Princess Nokia for “Boys Are From Mars.” She also laid a fire freestyle over Doja Cat’s “Get Into It (Yuh),” which had fans begging for the rappers to connect for an official remix.
You can press watch the video for “Dungarees” above.
Bruised: Soundtrack From And Inspired By The Netflix Film is out on 11/19 via Warner Records.

Baby Tate’s ‘Pedi’ Ushers In A New Era For The Young Rapper
2021 has been good to Baby Tate. After announcing her name change earlier this month — dropping from the “Yung” from Baby Tate — the rapper is celebrating a transition to a new record label with a brand new single and video. Previously signed to Issa Rae’s Atlantic-backed Raedio label, Tate will now be releasing music through Warner Records, and her first new song is a celebration of all things petty. A play on the word “Pedi,” as in short for pedicure, the rapper twerks and interrupts plenty of events throughout the chaotic video. “I’m pettier/pedier than my toes,” she raps on one of the verses sandwiched between the song’s speedy hook.
Earlier this year she told Uproxx in a cover story that helping others feel comfortable with themselves is part of why she puts herself out there so boldly. “I’ve always been a bold, out in the open person as long as I feel comfortable. I’ve always wanted to allow other people to know that it’s okay to be themselves too. I just like to laugh and make people laugh and have a good time in life because YOLO.”
YOLO indeed! Check out the new video for “Pedi” above and look out for a lot more coming from this young talent very soon.
Yung Baby Tate Has Updated Her Rap Name — She’s Just Baby Tate Now
For young rap stars, sometimes learning how to change and grow is the most important part of evolving into the artist they want to become. And for Uproxx cover star Yung Baby Tate, that evolution means a name change: She will now be going by just Baby Tate. She’s not the only rising female rapper to recently undergo a nomenclature shift — Latto is the second artist name that Alyssa Stephens has used since breaking out in the hip-hop world. While Tate’s shift isn’t due to backlash from fans like Latto’s was, it still represents a brand new era for the young artist.
Along with her name change, she let fans know that she’s now signed to a new label, Warner Records, and that new music is coming very soon. After initially signing a deal with Issa Rae’s record label Raedio, Tate has now made the jump over to Warner.
“New name, new label, new song drops 10/29,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
While she hasn’t shared any other previews of what the song might sound like, a tagline on the song’s artwork offers a hint: “I might be crazy but at least I’m authentic.” Keep an ear out for that new song dropping later this month, and lots more updates from the newly-minted Baby Tate.
