This is the official start of Lil Baby season. A new documentary on rapper Lil Baby, Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby, was released last week, giving viewers an insight into the star’s life and career. Lil Baby follows up recent loose singles “Frozen,” “In A Minute,” and “U-Digg” with a new track titled “Detox,” which may indicate a new studio album is coming soon.
The sophomore studio LP My Turn by Lil Baby was released two years ago, and it contained 20 songs and features from Future, 42 Dugg, Gunna, Lil Uzi Vert, Moneybagg Yo, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez. Despite the project’s critical and commercial success, it failed to reach number one on the Billboard 200, despite selling 197,000 CD-equivalents during its first week. Several months later, a deluxe edition of the four-times Platinum effort arrived with seven additional songs, including the smash hit “We Paid” and Grammy-nominated “The Bigger Picture.”
As part of the Voice of the Heroes album, Lil Baby partnered with fellow hip hop frontrunner Lil Durk, who collaborated with artists such as Young Thug, Meek Mill, Future, and Rod Wave. In addition to topping the chart with 150,000 equivalent album units, The Voice of the Heroes also topped the Billboard chart, as well. Both parties received Platinum plaques for their efforts.
He has quickly established himself as one of the most sought after featured artists across a wide range of genres apart from his own work. Among the songs he has appeared on since The Voice of the Heroes hit the ground are EST Gee “5500 Degrees,” H.E.R. “Find A Way,” Meek Mill “Sharing Locations,” Drake “Girls Want Girls,” Kanye West “Hurricane,” Nardo Wick “Me Or Sum,” Ed Sheeran “2step (Remix),” Nicki Minaj “Do We Have A Problem?,” and DJ Khaled “BIG TIME.”
This month, Young Thug and his Young Stoner Life collective decided to release the second installment of their Slime Language series, featuring 23 tracks and many appearances from Travis Scott, Drake, Rowdy Rebel, Lil Uzi Vert, Coi Leray, Big Sean, Skepta, Future, Yung Bleu, Kid Cudi, Meek Mill, and loads more. Now, he is back with a deluxe edition of Slime Language 2 that has emerged with eight more tracks and collabs with none other than Don Toliver, DaBaby, NAV, and Jim Jones, among others. It is safe to state that the project is quite successful already, as it ended up at the top of the Billboard 200 as 113,000 album equivalent units were sold within the first week of its release.
In order to ensure that the momentum goes on, Thugger & Co. also released a brand new video from the project for Thug, Gunna, YTB Trench, and Lil Baby’s “Paid The Fine,” which was produced by Sean Momberger and Wheezy, which elaborates upon the hard work and dedication that went into attaining success.
The video was directed by DrewFilmedIt, and starts off with recent footage of Young Thug and Gunna paying off bonds for 30 low-level offenders at Fulton County Jail. The narrative goes on in the clip as families can b reuniting and celebrating together, which can be attributed to the Atlanta collaborators’ goodwill. The video also shows people like Bankroll Freddie.

Lil Tjay’s debut album was released over a year ago and it was titled True 2 Myself, featuring 17 tracks as well as features from Rileyy Lanez, Jay Critch, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and Lil Wayne. He has released many other singles since then, including “Go In,” “20/20,” “First Place” with Polo G. Now, he has released an amazing song called “Move On,” produced by Avery On The Beat, wherein Lil Tjay can be seen focusing on himself as he gets out of a toxic relationship.
In October, Jeezy and DJ Drama teamed up to release the mixtape SNOFALL, which features 42 Dugg, EST Gee, and Lil Durk. After selling 31,000 album-equivalent units during its first week of release, the Atlanta-based duo peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200.
It was announced last Friday (Nov. 18) that fans would be treated to a new video for the Don Cannon, FNZ-produced “MJ Jeezy,” and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League which serves as a reminder to anyone who has forgotten about the “Soul Survivor” rapper’s achievements:
Pilot Industries has released a clip in conjunction with the release of the music video for “MJ Jeezy” and it shows Jeezy taking a trip to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He can be seen having a great time with the people he loves most, including Jeannie Mae, his wife, and Monaco, his daughter.
SNOWFALL was released three years after Jeezy’s 12th studio album, The Recession 2, which contained 15 tracks as well as contributions from a wide range of guests, including Ne-Yo, Tamika Mallory, E-40, Yo Gotti, Lil Duval, Demi Lovato, and Rick Ross. According to the above-mentioned chart, the project landed at No. 19 with a total of 28,000 units sold in its first week. The album also showed up on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart where it reached the seventh position.
A mixtape, SNOFALL, was released last week by Jeezy and DJ Drama. The project includes 17 songs and features from 42 Dugg, Lil Durk, and EST Gee. It was announced this morning (Oct. 25) that the Atlanta legend has released a new visual from that project for the Dugg-assisted track “Put The Minks Down,” which is produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and contains some of Jeezy’s most potent bars to date.
In addition, the accompanying video for “Put The Minks Down” was produced by Jerry Productions and features Jeezy visiting Detroit, Michigan. Due to ongoing legal issues, Dugg is unable to make a cameo appearance; however, the crowd comes to the Thug Motivation star’s aid with additional shots of high-end vehicles riding through the neighborhood.
A few years ago, Jeezy released his 12th studio album, The Recession 2, a collection of 15 tracks featuring contributions from E-40, Yo Gotti, Lil Duval, Demi Lovato, Tamika Mallory, Ne-Yo, and Rick Ross. Due to the fact that approximately 28,000 album-equivalent units were sold in the first week, the project was a top twenty success. As a result of its debut, the album topped Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart at the seventh position.
