Lil Baby’s “WHAM” album is nothing short of a masterpiece, proving once again why he’s one of the most influential artists in modern rap.
After much anticipation, the Grammy-nominated superstar dropped his third studio album on January 5, 2025. WHAM debuted at No. 1 on Apple Music and continues to dominate charts worldwide, solidifying Baby’s place at the top of the rap game. From chart-toppers to introspective tracks, WHAM is a reflection of Baby’s hustle, success, and journey.
The album’s standout track, “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber,” featuring Young Thug and Future, quickly became a fan favorite. It claimed the No. 1 spot on Apple Music across all genres and has been receiving continuous acclaim for its infectious beat and unforgettable verses. This single alone highlights WHAM’s ability to merge street wisdom with mainstream appeal.
In addition to “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber,” the album includes high-profile features such as GloRilla, Travis Scott, and more. The track “By Myself,” featuring Rod Wave and Rylo Rodriguez, is another strong contender for hit-of-the-year status. The video for the song, directed by Nyce, shows Baby and his collaborators scheming to build their wealth, reinforcing the theme of relentless hustle that runs throughout WHAM.
Beyond the music, WHAM proves that Lil Baby is a true cultural force. He’s not just an artist; he’s an entrepreneur, a mogul, and a symbol of success for young rap fans. This is seen in his launch of the WHAM (Extended Version), which dropped shortly after the original album. The extended version includes four fresh tracks—“99” featuring Future, “Idol,” “Running This Shit,” and “My Shawty”—offering fans even more content to enjoy from one of hip-hop’s biggest stars.
Lil Baby’s rise in the rap world has been nothing short of meteoric. His previous albums, My Turn and The Voice of the Heroes, have set the stage for his dominance, but WHAM takes his career to new heights. Whether he’s performing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon or hosting massive events like the Lil Baby & Friends concert, his presence is undeniable. The fourth annual concert, held in Atlanta, was a spectacle, featuring a show-stopping performance and a star-studded lineup, including Rod Wave and Rylo Rodriguez.
For fans who are still hungry for more, WHAM’s promotional campaign is keeping the momentum high. In addition to the epic drone show held in Atlanta, Baby’s “Streets Colder” performance in From the Block has fans eagerly awaiting his next moves. The visual and live performances from WHAM further amplify Lil Baby’s stature as a leader in hip-hop.
