A south London rapper navigates the music industry while confronting what it means to be visible, gay and Black in a world still catching up.
Rap Baby follows CarterTheBandit as he rises through a scene still shaped by hypermasculinity, where queer authenticity isn't always welcome. With honesty and energy, the film charts the exhilaration of artistic ambition alongside the personal cost of refusing to compromise on who you are. In an industry that often demands its artists fit a narrow mould, CarterTheBandit pushes back, navigating the struggle for acceptance and success on his own terms.
