Lil Baby and Gunna have added a diamond plaque to their résumés. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Baby and Gunna’s 2018 Drip Harder anthem “Drip Too Hard” is now certified diamond.
Fittingly, the certification news arrived on Monday (September 12), which is also the fourth anniversary of the Turbo-produced track. “Drip Too Hard” joined some extremely rare company as the 86th song in history to go diamond.

The accolades continue to pile up for Lil Baby, who is gearing up to unleash his highly-anticipated It’s Only Me on October 14.

“It’s Only Me’ 10-14-22 I Kno Its Been Along Time Coming But I’m Coming Harder And Harder …… #worththewait,” Baby wrote on IG earlier this month.
Expectations are high following the commercial success of 2020’s My Turn, which became the longest-running album to stay inside the Top 10 of Billboard‘s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in March.
