Lil Baby is back and ready to make a statement! After the mixed reviews of his 2022 project “It’s Only Me,” fans have been eagerly anticipating a new full-length release from the Atlanta rapper. Over the weekend, he announced his upcoming album titled “Wham,” which is set to drop on January 3, 2025. This album promises to kick off the new year with a bang.
In addition to the album announcement, Lil Baby has revealed an impressive lineup of guest features. The album will reportedly include appearances from Future (twice), GloRilla, Rod Wave, Travis Scott, and 21 Savage. But the excitement doesn’t stop there—fans are particularly thrilled about the possibility of Young Thug being featured on “Wham.” While it’s not yet clear how Thugger will be involved—whether through an intro or his first full verse since his release from jail—listeners are eager to see what unfolds, especially after recent studio sessions with Lil Baby, Travis Scott, and Future.
In related news, Lil Baby has also generated buzz this week with his new single “Touchdown.” One lyric in particular—”Real gangster, I ain’t rocking no nail polish”—has sparked debate among listeners. Some have speculated whether it was a diss, while others have engaged in discussions about masculinity and whether men should wear nail polish. This controversy highlights the ongoing conversations around gender norms in hip-hop, though it’s likely that Lil Baby didn’t intend for the line to be taken as seriously as it has been.
As the release date for “Wham” approaches, fans are eagerly wondering what themes and topics Lil Baby will explore. With recent headlines about alleged tensions with Offset and other personal experiences, there’s plenty of material for him to draw from. It will be exciting to see how this new project shapes the rap landscape as we enter 2025.
