After a two-year hiatus, Lil Baby is making waves with his return to the spotlight. With one album already out this year, WHAM (Who Hard As Me), and another, Dominique, on the way, it seems the Atlanta rap superstar isn’t slowing down. Now, fans may have yet another reason to celebrate: Lil Baby has teased a potential joint project with Future—and possibly Young Thug.
In a recent episode of Spotify’s Day In The Life, Lil Baby revealed that he and Future were collaborating on a joint tape, an idea originally suggested by Young Thug during his incarceration. Now that Thug has been released, he’s ready to join the project.
“Me and Future was working on a joint tape,” Lil Baby shared while getting his hair retwisted. “Now, Slime came home… you know he ain’t goin’ for that. He like, ‘Sh*t.’ It’s actually Thug’s idea. When he was in jail, he was like, ‘Call Pluto, I want y’all to do a tape together.’”
Fans got a taste of what this powerhouse collaboration might sound like on the track “Dum, Dumb & Dumber” from WHAM, which features all three artists. However, this isn’t the first time the trio has been linked to a joint project. Previously, they were reportedly working on Super Slimey 2, a follow-up to Future and Thug’s 2017 tape, alongside YSL member Gunna. Those plans were derailed when Thug and Gunna faced racketeering charges in late 2021.
While Gunna has since pleaded guilty and received an early release, his relationships with many Atlanta collaborators, including Lil Baby, appear strained. Thug, who pleaded “no contest” to racketeering and “guilty” to firearm possession, seems to have mended ties with his peers and is back in action.
Interestingly, a recent post from producer Southside hinted that Super Slimey 2 could still be in the works. Whether this is the same “joint tape” Lil Baby and Future are developing or a separate project remains to be seen.
One thing is certain: fans of Lil Baby, Future, and Young Thug are in for a treat. With their combined talent and chemistry, any project featuring this trio is bound to be a monumental moment in trap music.
