Lil Baby released his fifth studio album FRESH on November 6, 2026 through Quality Control Music Group, Wolfpack Global Music and Motown Records, and almost all of its 17 tracks sit squarely on his own shoulders. Only two songs carry guests. Young Thug, Future and Rylo Rodriguez all land on “All My Partnas,” and Rylo comes back around for “In Your Head.”
The album arrived with a video for “Mr. Do Something,” directed by ILMATO. Lil Baby rides through his old Atlanta neighborhood and watches from the window as the neighborhood chases after him. It feels like a homecoming shot from behind the glass, which is a pretty clean picture of where he sits in this era.
The bigger shift happened in the room. Lil Baby told Complex he moved from picking beats out of emails to working with producers in person at his own studio, and the credits show who came through. Wheezy on “Burnt Shit” and “All Us.” 30 Roc on “Ain’t Goin.” London on da Track on “All My Partnas.” Metro Boomin on “Keep Goin.” Elsewhere, “From The Back” interpolates Lil Uzi Vert‘s “Sanguine Paradise,” and the whole record circles loyalty, former friends and anyone who said he fell off. It sounds tight, militant, and very aware of who stayed.
Then there is “Dead Fresh,” the Pharrell Williams production that debuted at Louis Vuitton’s Menswear Spring-Summer 2027 show in Paris in June. Pharrell sent two beats, Lil Baby called it “an assignment,” and the two were never in the studio together for it. The song still peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached No. 1 at Urban and Rhythmic Radio, which gave FRESH a real running start.
“I honestly believe I could make any kind of song.” – Lil Baby
The celebration comes home on December 5, when Lil Baby takes over State Farm Arena in Atlanta for Fresh Prince of Atlanta, his birthday show.
