Lil Baby talks new album and not wanting to be an ‘old rapper’

It’s been two years since Lil Baby, the Atlanta native, dropped an album, but his new project proves to be worth the wait for fans.

Lil Baby’s new album, “It’s Only Me,” seems to be making up for lost time, as it’s a 23-track album – which is pretty rare for albums nowadays. Out of the 23 songs, there are eight other artists featured, including fellow ATLiens Future and Young Thung, along with EST Gee, Rylo Rodriguez, Nardo Wick, Pooh Shiesty, Jeremih and Fridayy. It clearly is “only” Lil Baby, as the album’s main cover art image is a depiction of Mount Rushmore, featuring four images of the rapper throughout his life.

If Lil Baby’s previous releases are any indication of how well this album will do, he’s on the right track. The rapper’s single featuring Gunna, “Drip Too Hard,” was recently certified Diamond with sales of over 10 million copies. The “Yes Indeed” recording artist also just closed out this year’s One Musicfest and released the FIFA World Cup’s official 2022 theme song, “The World is Yours to Take.”
