BabyChefDoit Debuts on Billboard Hot 100 with 'Went West'

BabyChiefDoit just landed his first-ever spot on the Billboard Hot 100, with his single Went West debuting at No. 89. The track, released in late June, caught attention for its eerie piano, dramatic horns, and heavy trap drums.

BabyChef raps with sharp breath control and unfiltered energy, comparing himself to Kanye and pulling from his Chicago roots to shape a sound that’s both grounded and ambitious.

This moment is the latest in a string of wins for the rising rapper. After dominating SoundCloud in 2024 and releasing his debut album Animals Only, he followed up with Zoo Life earlier this year, bringing in features from names like Luh Tyler and Warhol.SS.

His single Rollin’ blew up on TikTok and peaked at No. 2 on the platform’s official Billboard chart, helping him carve out a space in the fast-moving world of viral rap. Major live shows—Rolling Loud California, Summer Smash, and his XXL Freshman Class nod—further cemented his arrival.

Went West isn’t just a one-off success—it reflects a clear shift in BabyChef’s momentum. The song is now climbing the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and could go higher with more streaming support.

His ability to move across platforms—from SoundCloud to Billboard—shows an artist building with purpose. If this keeps up, BabyChefDoit could go from rising name to breakout star before the year wraps.
