Lil Baby Set to Dominate 2025 with Two Highly Anticipated Albums
Lil Baby is gearing up to dominate the first few months of 2025 with two highly anticipated albums on the way. After a quieter 2024, the rapper has been busy in the studio, working on WHAM, set for release on January 3, and Dominique, which is expected to drop sometime in February. Fans have been eagerly awaiting these projects, and while there was a brief scare on December 23 when an album titled WHAM appeared on YouTube Music, it turned out to be a fake leak. Despite some initial excitement, the album was a deception, containing random tracks from a different artist instead of the new material fans were hoping for.
The fake leak stirred mixed reactions from Lil Baby’s fanbase. While many were relieved that his actual music hadn’t been compromised and that his first-week sales wouldn’t be affected, others were frustrated by the trickery. The album, though labeled as WHAM, included songs with titles like “F U 2X” and “Listen Up,” which had been confirmed by Baby, but they were clearly not the final tracks from his upcoming release. Several of the songs were under three minutes long, further adding to the confusion.
Despite the leak scare, Lil Baby has been building anticipation for WHAM by speaking candidly about the project. In a conversation with A Safe Place podcast host Lil Yachty, he confidently declared that WHAM is his best album yet, describing it as a reflection of his journey and where he is in life today. “It’s gon’ be my latest sh*t,” he explained, noting that the album represents his fullest form as an artist to date. WHAM will showcase the more aggressive, high-energy side of Lil Baby, featuring themes of fast cars, women, jewelry, and the turnt-up lifestyle his fans crave.
In contrast, Dominique will offer a more serious and introspective side of the rapper, highlighting the range of his artistry. Lil Baby revealed that he wanted to release both albums back-to-back to give his audience a deeper understanding of his evolving style. While WHAM will focus on the party lifestyle, Dominique will delve into more profound themes, providing a glimpse into a different dimension of Lil Baby’s music.
With both albums poised to arrive in early 2025, Lil Baby’s fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be an exciting and diverse year for the rapper. Here’s hoping both albums make it to release without any more leaks or disruptions.
