Flint, Michigan rapper Babyfxce E is closing out a breakout year with the release of his hard-hitting new single “Blackout,” now available on all platforms. The track is accompanied by a sleek official music video directed by Rari Digital, further cementing E’s reputation for high-energy visuals and technical lyrical precision. “Blackout” serves as a primary teaser for the rapper’s highly anticipated debut album, ‘Da Realest’, which is officially slated to arrive on February 6, 2026. This announcement follows a major fall for the artist, including a featured “Show & Prove” profile in XXL that praised his “syrupy flow” and unapologetic braggadocio, as well as a viral freestyle during Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 that showcased his undeniable agility on the mic.
The momentum behind ‘Da Realest’ builds on the success of his 2025 mixtape ‘M Block’, which recently saw an expanded deluxe release featuring an elite roster of collaborators including 03 Greedo, VonOff1700, and YN Jay. Notably, the “PTP Remix” featuring Monaleo from that project earned a spot on Pitchfork’s “100 Best Songs of 2025,” while his “Ron Holland” freestyle became a viral sensation, even earning a public co-sign from the Detroit Pistons star. From his roots in the sparse, trunk-rattling Flint scene to his recent performances on On The Radar, Babyfxce E has transformed from a local hero into a national force. With “Blackout” acting as a final warning shot, the hip-hop community is bracing for ‘Da Realest’ to redefine the Michigan sound early in the new year.
