More than a month after the first tease, Babyface Ray has finally shared his new collaboration with Big Sean “Ain’t My Fault.”
Produced by Hit-Boy, the song arrives alongside a Griffin Olis-directed music video in which the two Detroit rappers put forth their best mafioso impressions, dressed in pinstripe suits and smoking cigars while trading bars. Watch it above. It includes Big Sean wearing an outfit from the Ermenegildo Zegna XXX FW21 collection.
The hard-hitting anthem catches Ray amid a breakout year, as the 30-year-old has cemented his status as one of the biggest rappers in Detroit on the strength of his latest project Unfuckwitable. Released in February, the seven-track EP was repackaged as a deluxe version in May with seven additional songs, including features from Veeze, Peezy, and Murda Beatz, as well as Jack Harlow on “Paperwork Party (Remix).”
Since dropping the deluxe edition of his breakthrough EP, Babyface Ray has continued his momentum with guest appearances on recent albums from Lil Yachty (“Fight Night Round 3”) and Trippie Redd (“Captain Crunch”).
“Ain’t My Fault” is just the latest collaboration between Hit-Boy and Big Sean, who linked up last fall on the rapper’s full-length Detroit 2. The superproducer contributed beats to a variety of songs on the project, including the Nipsey Hussle-featuring “Deep Reverence,” standout “Lucky Me,” and intro track “Why Would I Stop?” He’s also heading out on tour starting Sept. 8 in Orlando and going through Nov. 19 in Indianapolis.
