Lil Baby drops 'FRESH,' promises wealth through 2099
The Atlanta rapper's new project features Future and Young Thug, alongside a free wings giveaway at a local pop-up.

Lil Baby released his new album, FRESH, on Thursday, marking his first project of 2027. The record arrives as the Atlanta rapper moves to silence speculation that he is losing momentum in the rap industry.
The rollout began with the single "Dead Fresh," produced by Pharrell Williams. The track came with a music video and received mixed reactions from listeners. This release strategy mirrors his December 2025 project, The Leaks, which also launched with a standalone single, "Mrs. Trendsetter," before the full album dropped.
FRESH features a short guest list including Future, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez. Rylo Rodriguez appears on two tracks. The album cover is a collage of childhood photos. On the track "Top Uh It," Lil Baby states he intends to remain wealthy until 2099. The song "From The Back" samples "Do It" by Mykko Montana and K Camp.
To mark the release, Lil Baby partnered with American Deli, an Atlanta wings restaurant. The chain is hosting a pop-up event this Saturday, November 7. The first 500 fans to arrive will receive free "WHAM Wings." This collaboration connects the album's theme of freshness to the local food scene.
The album includes the birthday-themed track "Life Of The Party." Early listener reviews point to "Ain't Gon" as a standout track. Lil Baby's presence on the project emphasizes his own narrative over a dense collection of guest appearances.
