Cane shared how he got the idea for his baby battles when he saw how his kids responded while he practiced his raps.

He said his house is centered around music, so his kids always were intrigued with his work.

He soon began recording the rehearsals and creating lyrics that would be direct “kid friendly” battles with his little ones.

“I think they enjoy it as much as I do,” he said.

Cane said he believed his baby battles have caught on because it is wholesome family content and reaches hip hop fans because of the technicalities of his lyrics.

The videos have made their way to millions of eyeballs across the country and world, even caught the eyes of celebrities like A$AP Rocky, Benny the Butcher, Tierra Whack, and Chad OchoCinco.

He said he looks back and laughs now when he questioned if having kids would impact his music career or prevent him from reaching his goals.
