Lil Baby has taken an unexpected turn, shelving his ‘Dominique’ album and opting for ‘The Leak$’ instead.
- Fans eagerly awaited ‘Dominique’ since its planned release in February.
- The Atlanta rapper has been battling leaks of his songs online.
- Lil Baby wants to ease fans into his evolving sound.
- ‘The Leak$’ will drop on August 15 with 17 tracks featuring big names.
Lil Baby is shaking things up by scrapping his long-awaited album ‘Dominique’ and shifting gears to a new project called ‘The Leak$’. Originally, ‘Dominique’ was teased to show a more mature side of Lil Baby and was slated for release in February. However, things have taken a turn as he now focuses on ‘The Leak$’.
In an Instagram post, the rapper revealed that ‘The Leak$’ will arrive on August 15. The announcement also included a picture of a whiteboard displaying a tracklist of 17 songs, which promises to feature big names like Playboi Carti, Skooly, and Veeze.
It’s unclear if these tracks are fresh creations or songs initially meant for ‘Dominique’. Earlier this year, Lil Baby expressed frustration over leaks of his unreleased music. He had vented on social media, “Damn yall just gone keep leaking my songs !!”
Fans have been chomping at the bit for ‘Dominique’, an album that promised to unveil a different side of the rapper. Lil Baby described it as a project that would be more “heartfelt” and “direct,” aiming to bring fans along on his journey of personal growth.
Lil Baby admits that the sudden switch is an effort to gradually transition fans to his new sound. He noted that moving from his persona as Lil Baby to Dominique could be too abrupt. “It’s two different albums, but something like a double album,” he shared, suggesting this pivot is a softer introduction to his evolving style.
As Lil Baby turns the page, fans can mark August 15 for the drop of ‘The Leak$’.
