Using Lil Baby’s story, this documentary not only enlightens us to his legacy as one of our generation’s biggest stars, but also dissects the rags to riches paradigm that outlines the genre and the culture of Black America that produces it.

Considering all he’s come from, there’s never a doubt as to whether he deserves what he’s gotten. But Untrapped frustratingly isn’t interested in probing the artist much beyond that easy narrative.
