Lil Baby previously announced that he’d be dropping two albums in 2025, and after kicking things off with the chart-topping WHAM, he’s revealed the follow-up will arrive in February.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday (January 12), Baby shared the impressive stats for WHAM, which include the No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as well as on Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop albums chart and their Rap albums chart.
In the caption, he added: “See yall Again in a couple weeks ‘Dominique’ The Album 2-?-25.”

WHAM tops the chart for the week ending January 18, ahead of Bad Bunny, SZA, Kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter.
The album is the Atlanta rapper’s fourth number one LP, following It’s Only Me, his Lil Durk collaboration The Voice of the Heroes and My Turn.
WHAM arrived on January 3, and features appearances from Travis Scott, Future, Young Thug, GloRilla, Rod Wave, Rylo and 21 Savage.
When making the announcement that both albums would come in 2025 while appearing on on Lil Yachty‘s A Safe Place podcast in December, Baby explained how they would differ.
“I still put some of the songs I was gonna use for Dominique on WHAM ’cause I know my fanbase really want to hear them certain songs. WHAM is more me on some young n-gga shit — fast cars, girls, jewelry, money. You know, the turnt lifestyle.
“And Dominique is more the serious me, more personal. That’s a part of the new journey I’m on. I hate the word vulnerable, but I’m gonna be more open to my fans and my audience.”
The rapper’s 2020 project My Turn recently received its own bit of success: it was named the most popular rap album of the century in terms of its Billboard chart performance.
On Thursday (January 9), Billboard unveiled its Top Billboard 200 Albums of the 21st Century list. The list measures performance on the weekly Billboard 200 album charts dated January 1, 2000, through December 28, 2024.
By those metrics, My Turn measured eighth overall, behind two projects each from Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift; Adele’s 21; the Hamilton cast recording; and Post Malone‘s Hollywood’s Bleeding.
The only other rapper to appear in the top 25 is Kendrick Lamar, with Damn (No. 25). Drake‘s Views lands at 28, while Pop Smoke‘s posthumous Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon is at 31.
