Laddin G, a pioneering force in the Brooklyn Drill movement, is making waves once again, bringing his raw authenticity and lyrical artistry to the forefront of the music scene. Born on December 27, 1996, in Brooklyn, New York, Laddin G’s life has been a testament to the transformative power of music—a journey that began even before he was born.
Raised in a household where creativity thrived, his mother’s spoken word performances during her pregnancy instilled an early connection to rhythm and storytelling. Inspired by the unfiltered energy of DMX, Laddin G began writing lyrics at just nine years old. By the age of 14, he recorded his first song, “Aladdin,” at a local studio for $30—a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of his career as Aladdin Xantander.
Deeply rooted in the vibrant streets of Brooklyn, Laddin G became a cornerstone of the burgeoning Brooklyn Drill scene. Collaborating with neighborhood talents like Trev Mulah, 22Gz, and Nick Blixky, his work helped define the genre’s raw and unflinching sound. Over the years, his artistry has transcended local recognition, fueled by viral moments that reflect both his street credibility and musical ingenuity.
Laddin G’s journey has been anything but linear. His involvement in street politics led to multiple incarcerations, but his unwavering passion for music served as his anchor through adversity. Upon his recent release, Laddin G shed his former moniker, Lil Laddin, and embraced a new chapter under his current name.
Inspired by rap icons Lil Wayne, The Notorious B.I.G., Drake, and Kendrick Lamar, Laddin G’s music seamlessly blends lyrical depth with an unfiltered perspective shaped by his life experiences. His collaborations with major artists like Famous Dex, Zelly Ocho, Yung Tory, and Kill Kody highlight his versatility and ability to create dynamic, genre-defining tracks.
