8 Rappers Who Welcomed Babies in 2015

Hip-hop's family got a lot bigger this year. As rap fans, we tend to forget that our favorite MCs have lives outside of the music world. Plenty of rap's biggest names are family men and thanks to social media, their kids become as popular as they are.

In 2015, more rappers shared their first-time fatherhood adventures online. Whether the rapper took fans through every step of labor via Instagram like 2 Chainz or kept the birth hidden for months like Macklemore, eventually the happy news of a hip-hop baby was shared.

One of the most talked-about babies this year was Kanye West's son. North West had her time to shine as the only child for a good two years before Kim Kardashian gave birth to the newest member of the Yeezy family. Since cardinal direction seemed to be Kimye's thing, rumors circulated that Easton would be the newborn's moniker. If you were feeling the vibe of that name, they certainly didn't go that route and chose a unique name that has already caused a rapper to retire. Talk about making an entrance intro the world.

Then there's Freddie Gibbs, who has shared some hilarious moments with his daughter on social media. While some rappers keep their kids on the private tip, the Gary, Ind. native has no problem letting the world witness his role as a father, especially when he watches ESPN with his baby girl.
