Lil Baby dropped his highly anticipated My Turn album on Friday (Feb. 28), and with his sophomore effort, the MC has taken the next step in his ascent as one of the pillars in the new school of Atlanta rap.
Often grouped with his Drip Harder collaborator Gunna, or placed a notch below Migos on the Quality Control totem pole, Baby has shown the ability to stand on his own two feet and power mainstream records by himself. The 25-year-old owns a pair of solo top 50 records on this week’s Hot 100, thanks to album singles “Woah” and “Sum 2 Prove.”
After his release from jail on gun charges in 2016, Baby fell into hip-hop under the shrewd tutelage of Gunna and Young Thug. He rapidly accumulated a growing buzz around the ATL thanks to the many projects he dropped in the following years.
