Khalick Antonio Caldwell[1] (born 1996), better known as Stunna 4 Vegas (formerly stylized as $tunna 4 Vegas), is an American rapper from Salisbury, North Carolina. He is best known for his 2020 single "Go Stupid" (with Polo G and NLE Choppa featuring Mike Will Made It), which received triple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Two years prior, he signed with fellow North Carolina-based rapper DaBaby's Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment, an imprint of Interscope Records to release his debut album, Big 4x (2019) and its follow-up, Rich Youngin (2020). Both albums performed moderately on the Billboard 200—the latter peaked at number 29 on the chart. His third and fourth albums, Welcome to 4 Vegas (2020) and Rae Rae's Son (2022) both failed to chart.
Despite having the city as part of his stage name, Caldwell claims no personal connection to Las Vegas; the "4" was adapted from his hometown area code.[3]
Early life
Khalick Caldwell grew up without a father figure, learning how to rap at an early age after figuring that he would not be successful in sports. Notwithstanding, he was a member of the basketball and football teams in high school.[4]
He is cousins with San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Hargrave.[5]
Career
2018: "Animal" and signing to DaBaby
In late September 2018, Caldwell released the track "Animal", which featured fellow North Carolina rapper DaBaby. The track gained popularity after it was posted on DaBaby's channel. Caldwell signed to DaBaby's record label Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment, and was featured on his track "4X" produced by Producer 20 (Igot20onmybeat) from his November 2018 mixtape Blank Blank.[6]
2019: Further success and debut album
Caldwell was featured on DaBaby's track "Joggers" from his debut album Baby on Baby in March 2019.[7] He was then featured on Asian Da Brat's 2019 mixtape Unfuccwitable, on the track "I Love It".[8]
In May 2019, Caldwell signed with Interscope Records.[9] He then released his debut album under the label, BIG 4X, on May 10, 2019. The album contained guest features from DaBaby, Offset, NLE Choppa, Young Nudy, & Lil Durk. The album peaked at number 50 on the Billboard 200, and received positive reviews.
In the following months, he released singles such as "Tomorrow" featuring Moneybagg Yo, "Flintstones" featuring BannUpPrince, "Boat 4 Vegas" featuring Lil Yachty, "Up The Smoke" with Offset, and "Long." He revealed the album's title during an interview with music website Groovy Tracks. In September 2019, he was featured on the track "Really" from DaBaby's second studio album Kirk. The song debuted and peaked at number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Caldwell's first entry on the Hot 100.[10]
2020: Rich Youngin
On January 17, 2020, Caldwell released his second studio album, Rich Youngin.[11] It included features from DaBaby, Lil Baby, Blac Youngsta, and Offset. It peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200.[12] The album received lukewarm reviews from critics.[13]
In February 2020, Caldwell earned his first Billboard-charting single as a lead artist and his second charting single overall, with "Go Stupid" debuting and peaking at number 60 on the Billboard Hot 100.[14] On July 27, 2020, Stunna 4 Vegas released a collaboration with DaBaby titled "No Dribble".[15] Later on, in November 2020, Caldwell released his third studio album, Welcome to 4 Vegas, which included features from DaBaby, Murda Beatz, Toosii, and Ola Runt and did not chart.[16]
2022-Present: Rae Rae's Son and Stunna 4 Files
On May 20, 2022, Caldwell released his fourth studio album, Rae Rae's Son[17] which included features from DaBaby, Icewear Vezzo, NoCap, SpinaBenz and YRB Tezz. This was his final release with Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment.
On September 1, 2022, Caldwell was featured on "Big 6,"[18] a collaborative single with North Carolina artist Bos Flip. The track was produced by his go-to producer, Noisy Jay, with additional production by Sarthak and Sreehari. Later that same month, Caldwell released his fifth studio album, Stunna 4 Files.[19]
