The 27-year-old rapper is being honored for his work to help improve his hometown of Atlanta. As previously reported, Lil Baby held his third annual “Back to School Fest” at Atlanta’s West End Mall on Aug. 7. During the event, the “Yes Indeed” rapper and his team provided 3,000 local children with music, games, carnival rides, food, backpacks, school supplies, and haircuts. That’s not the only good deed Lil Baby has done recently. Over the summer he also joined forces with prominent business owner Lemont Bradley to give out 100 jobs to people under the age of 21 throughout Atlanta. In addition to that, he established the $150,000 “My Turn” scholarship program for students at his former high school.
