Lil Baby Teases Joint Project with Future: Will Young Thug Join the Party?

Lil Baby isn’t slowing down in 2025. Following the release of his highly anticipated album WHAM, the Atlanta superstar is already teasing more music on the horizon—and it’s going to be big. Lil Baby revealed in an exclusive behind-the-scenes moment with Spotify’s RapCaviar that he’s been working on a joint project with Future. The album is “damn near done,” but it’s not just the two of them. Young Thug, now freshly released from prison, might want in on the action, making this project even more intriguing.

A Day in the Life of Lil Baby

In a behind-the-scenes look with Spotify’s RapCaviar, Lil Baby opened up about his upcoming projects, offering fans a glimpse into the powerhouse momentum he’s carrying into the new year.

“WHAM, Dominique’s album, the Can’t Be F—-d With tape—just remember I told you, it’s coming,” Baby teased. “Me and Future are working on a joint tape. We’re almost done. But now [Young Thug] is back home, and he’s saying, ‘Wait, hold up. I want in on that.’ The crazy part? It was Thug’s idea in the first place.”

Lil Baby went on to explain that Thug initially envisioned the project while still incarcerated. “He was like, ‘Yo, call Pluto [Future’s nickname]. I want y’all to do a tape together.’ It was his brainchild. He even had a name in mind before he got out. Now that he’s free, he’s saying, ‘I gotta be part of it.’ This could turn into something massive—I’m talking game-changing.”

A Legacy of Collaboration

Lil Baby also revealed the sheer volume of material he and Young Thug have cooked up together, calling Thug a “studio rat” who lives and breathes music. “In just the two months since he’s been home, we’ve done like 10 songs,” Baby shared. “All he does is lock himself in the studio. We’ve got so much fire in the vault.”

Thug’s return to the music scene follows his release on October 31, after serving over two years behind bars due to his involvement in the high-profile YSL RICO case, the longest trial in Georgia’s history.

Fans might remember Thug and Future’s iconic 2017 project, Super Slimey. Now, with Lil Baby in the mix, this potential three-way collaboration has the Atlanta rap scene buzzing with excitement. A full-circle moment for the city, the project could redefine hip-hop synergy.

Beyond the Future collaboration, Baby has plenty of heat lined up. His latest project, WHAM, dropped on January 3 and features an all-star lineup, including Future, Young Thug, Travis Scott, Rod Wave, and more. Early projections suggest the album is set for an impressive debut on the Billboard 200.

“2025 is about legacy,” Baby hinted. “This isn’t just about one album or one tape. It’s about creating timeless work.”

With Future’s effortless swagger, Thug’s unparalleled creativity, and Lil Baby’s relentless drive, the idea of a joint project between these three forces feels less like a possibility and more like destiny.

Will this be the ultimate Atlanta takeover? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Lil Baby is on a mission to dominate the year.
