Lil Baby’s second studio album, My Turn, has reached No. 1 on Billboard’s list of the “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums of the 21st Century.” The ranking includes notable albums such as Juice WRLD’s Goodbye & Good Riddance, J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive, The Weeknd’s The Highlights, Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN and good kid, m.A.A.d city, Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon, Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding, SZA’s SOS, and Drake’s Take Care. Billboard noted that the selections reflect performance on weekly charts from Jan. 1, 2000, through Dec. 28, 2024.
My Turn was released in February 2020, followed by a deluxe version in May of the same year. The album includes collaborations with Gunna, 42 Dugg, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Wayne, Moneybagg Yo, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez. The single “The Bigger Picture” earned Lil Baby two nominations at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
Billboard highlighted that three singles from the album reached the top 10 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and the album itself spent six weeks at No. 1. Strong streaming numbers helped the album maintain a presence in the top 10 for weeks and months. By March 2022, My Turn broke the record for the most weeks in the chart’s top 10, reaching 85 weeks, and by October, it became the first album to record 100 weeks in the top 10 since the chart began in 1965.
Lil Baby also announced that his next project, titled The Leak$, will be released soon. In an interview with PlaqueBoyMax, he explained that the album is based on previously leaked songs. He said, “Definitely, project dropping soon. I really just took, like, a couple of songs that I already got leaked and just created a whole album around it. Most of the leaks don’t be, like, the real versions of s**t anyway. But, like, people already got it, so we just go with the leaks.”
