New Artist: Baby E.

Peep youngblood talent, Baby E. with some dope tracks. "Broke Again" features seriously tight hooks, written and produced by the 22-year-old from Florida.

Next up, Daft Punk's "One More Time" gets the Baby E. treatment with Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco and Cirkut on remix duty. Baby E. (born Ethan Lowery) tells VIBE, "I was the first artist ever to get Daft Punk's approval for remixing 'One More Time'. They heard it on the radio in L.A. and cleared it."

Meet Baby E. Now:

VIBE: How'd you link with Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco?
Baby E. Chris Anokute (Island/Def Jam) believed in me very early on. He asked me who would be my dream producer to work with and I said Dr. Luke. He called me back that day and told me to be ready for a meeting with him at 4pm.

Are your writing your own raps? What inspires the words?
I write all of my own raps. I draw heavily from personal experience when I write. My lyrics are a place for me to get a lot of things off of my chest. I always tell it like it is, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Where'd the name Baby E. come from?
An old friend of mine started calling me Baby E. and then pretty much else everyone else did too after that.. So, I just stuck with it.

Describe your sound in a word.
Moving.

Can you program, DJ, play an instrument?
I can make beats. I use Logic Pro to program with for the most part. As far as instruments, I can play guitar, drums, and piano.
