Here’s a fresh and engaging take on the article:
Lil Baby Elevates WHAM with Four New Tracks, Future Collab & Controversial Bars
Deluxe Edition Drops Exclusively on Rapper’s Website
Lil Baby is keeping the momentum going in 2025. As promised, the Atlanta rapper delivered the deluxe edition of his fourth studio album, WHAM, on January 6, adding four brand-new tracks to the mix.
Available exclusively through his official website, the expanded edition introduces “99” featuring Future, “Idol,” “Running This S**t,” and “My Shawty.” Producer Wheezy—who played a major role in shaping the original album’s sound—returned to lend his magic to several of the new additions.
Heavy-Hitting Features & Possible Subliminal Disses
The standout collaboration comes on “99,” where Lil Baby and Future exchange fiery bars. Baby name-drops legends like Juelz Santana, Nelly, Tyreek Hill, and Waka Flocka Flame, while Future proclaims himself a “legend in the streets” in a reference-packed verse:
“I get to shinin’ up my golds like Juvenile in ’99/ I’m rockin’ the clean suit like I was Snoop, beat this homicide.”
However, fans are buzzing over a possible jab at Gunna on “Running This S**t.” In the second verse, Lil Baby raps:
“I don’t care what he did, he a rat still/ And I said what I said, don’t at me.”
The line has sparked speculation about whether he’s addressing his former collaborator amid ongoing industry tensions.
WHAM’s Success & Potential Tour Plans
Originally released as a 15-track project, WHAM already boasted a star-studded lineup, including Young Thug, Future, GloRilla, Rod Wave, Rylo Rodriguez, Travis Scott, and 21 Savage. The album is expected to make a major splash on the Billboard 200, continuing Lil Baby’s track record of No. 1 debuts.
While the rapper has yet to confirm a full tour in support of WHAM, fans can catch him live at a free pop-up show at New York City’s Irving Plaza on January 7 at 9 p.m. ET.
With new music, chart domination, and viral discussions brewing, Lil Baby is making sure 2025 kicks off on his terms.
