Lil Baby is set to kick off 2025 with a bang, announcing the release of his next album, Dominique, scheduled for February. The news comes just weeks after his current album, WHAM, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
The Grammy-nominated rapper, whose real name is Dominique Jones, teased the project on Instagram with a cryptic post: “See y’all again in a couple weeks ‘Dominique’ The Album 2-?-25.” This marks an unusually fast follow-up for the Atlanta hitmaker, who typically allows more time between releases.
A Personal Touch
Unlike his previous projects, Dominique, named after his birth name, hints at a more introspective and personal tone. Fans are speculating that the album will dive deeper into Lil Baby’s life and experiences, offering a side of him rarely seen in his music.
“WHAM’s” Ongoing Success
Lil Baby’s announcement coincides with the continued success of WHAM, which racked up 140,000 equivalent album units in its first week, fueled by 119.77 million on-demand streams. Featuring collaborations with stars like Young Thug, Future, and Travis Scott, the album’s extended version is dominating charts on Apple Music in over 50 countries.
If Dominique follows the trajectory of WHAM, it could become Lil Baby’s fifth Billboard 200 No. 1 album, solidifying his reign as one of hip-hop’s top performers.
Stay tuned as Lil Baby gears up for the release of his new album.
