Lil Baby is getting fans ready for his upcoming album WHAM (Who Hard As Me), and his latest gambit has him sharing names of the project’s high profile guest stars.
In a post to his Instagram Stories in the early morning hours of Wednesday (November 20), the rapper can be seen in front of a whiteboard that appears to list song titles and featured artists for the project.

Surprisingly not on listed on the whiteboard is 21 Savage, who Baby said recently gave him the rapper’s “hardest verse ever.”
The My Turn artist shared the news in a short but to the point post on X on Saturday (November 16).
“I think I got @21savage hardest verse ever,” he wrote, followed by several emojis.
Lil Baby has put out two songs recently: “5 AM” and “Insecurities.” However, he shared in a message on X on Wednesday that neither will appear on the album.
“Insecurites, 5am going crazzyyy,” he wrote. “Crazy party [sic] is … they ain’t even on the album.”

“5 AM,” produced by Wheezy and Sean Momberger, finds the 4PF frontman defiantly navigating various pitfalls, from disloyal friends and lovers to feds on his trail trying to “connect [him] to dumb shit.”
The short but sweet songs ends with another signal that his new album is around the corner as Wham spits: “Even my mama be asking me where is the album, we want it/ Had to get on my business and tighten my mental, I’m coming.”

WHAM (Who Hard As Me) will serve as Lil Baby’s fourth studio album and the follow-up to 2022’s It’s Only Me, which boasted appearances from Future, Young Thug and EST Gee, among others.
Despite its strong supporting cast, sizeable first-week sales (216,000) and number one debut on the Billboard 200, the project received mixed reviews and failed to replicate the success or impact of his previous effort My Turn.
