Untrapped tells rapper Lil Baby's story, and details his meteoric rise to become the most dominant name in the rap game. While still a teenager, Baby— known to friends and family as Dominique Armani Jones— was one of the most notorious figures in the streets of West Atlanta, before he was arrested and sent to prison.

Today, Lil Baby is a devoted father to his two young boys and a powerful voice in the fight for racial justice and police reform.
