Using Lil Baby’s story, this documentary not only enlightens us to his legacy as one of our generation’s biggest stars, but also dissects the rags to riches paradigm that outlines the genre and the culture of Black America that produces it.

Rated: 3/4

Considering all he’s come from, there’s never a doubt as to whether he deserves what he’s gotten. But Untrapped frustratingly isn’t interested in probing the artist much beyond that easy narrative.

... The narrative thrust here is more moody, more thoughtful, and generally more personal than so many of docs of its ilk.

This documentary is the true life of an artist who came up through the struggles of systemic racism, targeting, a "system set up" for decades by the government. The pain, the joys and the love of grind to succeed no matter what is thrown at you !! Lil Baby not only is a true artist but also hits the most important issue facing this country - TARGETED RACISM - he exposes the corruption but also takes actions in the dismantling of racism and hate through giving back to those being oppressed , silenced by a corrupt judiciary system that is cycling.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
