Lil Baby Announces ‘The Leaks’ Album, Drops New Single “Middle Of The Summer”
Atlanta rapper Lil Baby is capping off a prolific year with a surprise announcement: a new project titled The Leaks, slated for release on his 31st birthday, December 3rd. The news arrives alongside the release of his latest single, “Middle Of The Summer,” a reflective track detailing his ascent to stardom.
From “WHAM Wednesdays” to a Full Project: A Look Back at Lil Baby’s 2025
Lil Baby’s momentum throughout 2025 has been undeniable. The artist consistently delivered new music to fans each week through his “WHAM Wednesdays” series, releasing tracks like “All On Me” featuring G Herbo, “Real Sh*t”, “Otha Boy,” and “Try To Love”. This consistent stream of releases followed the critically acclaimed album WHAM, which Uproxx’s Elliott Wilson highlighted as one of the best hip-hop albums of the year so far.
The frequency of these releases initially led to speculation about a larger project. Now, those suspicions have been confirmed. The Leaks isn’t simply a collection of new songs, but a curated compilation of previously unheard material – snippets and full tracks that have circulated amongst fans online over the years. This unique approach offers a glimpse into Lil Baby’s creative process and provides a comprehensive look at his evolution as an artist, spanning from his early career to his current status as a chart-topping performer.
Beyond the studio, Lil Baby has also been actively touring, bringing his music to audiences across North America on the WHAM World Tour, with support from BigXthaPlug. This extensive touring schedule underscores his commitment to connecting with his fanbase and solidifying his position as a leading figure in contemporary hip-hop.
Did You Know?: Lil Baby’s real name is Dominique Armani Jones, and he began rapping in 2017, quickly gaining recognition with his mixtapes.
The decision to release The Leaks is a bold move, acknowledging and embracing the organic spread of his music through online communities. It’s a testament to the power of fan engagement and a unique way to reward those who have been following his journey closely. But what does this strategy mean for the future of music distribution and artist-fan relationships?
What impact will releasing previously circulated material have on the perceived value of a new album? And how will this approach influence other artists to engage with their online fanbases?
“Middle Of The Summer” offers a poignant look at Lil Baby’s personal journey, reflecting on the challenges he overcame to achieve success. The accompanying visual further enhances the song’s narrative, providing a compelling glimpse into his life and experiences.
