Baby was grinning from ear to ear while shooting his promo for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, playing the guitar and holding a Moonman while wearing denim shorts and a straw hat. He will release his long-awaited album Tha Carter IV immediately following his performance on the show, airing live from Los Angeles on August 28 at 9 p.m.
