Gela, the debut album from Baker Boy, landed on 15 October 2021 through Island Records Australia, and its title tells you where the Yolngu rapper is coming from: Gela is his skin name in Yolngu culture. Danzal Baker made his name rapping in both English and Yolŋu Matha, and the record has a dancer's spring in its step. Pip Norman, once of TZU, heads a production crew that includes Willie Tafa, Carl Dimataga, Morgan Jones and Jerome Farah, and the guest list runs from G Flip and JessB to Yirrmal and Uncle Jack Charles.
Seven singles paved the way, "Cool as Hell", "Meditjin" and "My Mind" among them, and then the trophies piled up: Album of the Year at the National Indigenous Music Awards, Best Victorian Album at the Music Victoria Awards, and five ARIAs in 2022, Album of the Year and Best Solo Artist included.
