Detroit’s 42 Dugg recently shared the story behind his rise, starting with a memorable dice game encounter with Lil Baby in LA around 2019. Both rappers were rolling high stakes—Dugg winning over $100,000 during the game—with Baby unfazed by the loss. Their connection grew beyond the game, leading Lil Baby to introduce 42 Dugg to Yo Gotti. Gotti invited Dugg to perform at a Detroit show, marking a major moment in his career.
Shortly after, Dugg secured a joint deal with Yo Gotti’s CMG and Lil Baby’s 4PF imprint, a unique partnership that accelerated his career. The collaboration eventually led to a major label deal with Interscope shortly after his breakout hit "We Paid." Reflecting on his journey from struggles with the law to backing by two of hip-hop’s biggest names, 42 Dugg expressed gratitude and determination to keep elevating his music.
