Lil Baby reveals tracklist for “The Leaks” album

After weeks of speculation and teaser clips on social media, Lil Baby has finally dropped the official tracklist for his highly anticipated second album of 2025, The Leak$. Initially slated for release on August 15, the album is now confirmed to drop on August 22, 2025.

From major collaborations to personal storytelling, The Leak$ is shaping up to be one of the biggest hip-hop releases of the year.

What Is Lil Baby’s The Leak$ All About?

Real Talk, Raw Emotion, and Atlanta Heat

Lil Baby—born Dominique Jones—has built his career on authenticity. Known for his gritty lyrics and melodic flow, he uses his platform to tell his story without filters. The Leak$ follows up his January release, WHAM, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

WHAM was packed with energy and A-list features like Travis Scott, Glorilla, and Young Thug. Now, The Leak$ doubles down on the formula that’s made Lil Baby a generational voice.

Official Tracklist: All 16 Songs on The Leak$

Here’s what fans can expect from the album:

  1. LO (I’m Da Man)
  2. Mrs. Trendsetter
  3. Guaranteed
  4. When I’m Home
  5. Try to Love
  6. Feels Good (ft. Young Thug)
  7. 4Ever Slime
  8. Let’s Do It (ft. Skooly & PBC)
  9. What She Like
  10. Otha Boy
  11. 04
  12. Too Much Longer
  13. Get Along (ft. Lil Yachty, Lucki & Veeze)
  14. Violation
  15. St. Tropez (ft. Rylo Rodriguez & Bino)
  16. All On Me (ft. G Herbo)

From introspection to bangers, the tracklist promises a wide range of sounds—something for both core fans and new listeners alike.

Lil Baby Collaborations: Who’s Featured on the Album?

Lil Baby knows how to build chemistry with other artists. This time, he taps longtime collaborators and fresh voices alike:

  • Young Thug brings his signature Atlanta flair.
  • G Herbo adds intensity and street authenticity.
  • Veeze, Lucki, and Lil Yachty connect with the new wave.
  • Skooly, a fellow Atlanta artist, helps rep the hometown.
  • Rylo Rodriguez and Bino bring lyrical flair to “St. Tropez.”

These features aren’t just for name value—they complement Lil Baby’s flow and lyrical themes. The lineup feels intentional, not just trendy.

Why Was The Leak$ Delayed?

Originally scheduled for August 15, The Leak$ was pushed back by one week. While no official reason was given, fans speculate the delay was to fine-tune the tracklist and secure clearances.

This move isn’t new for Lil Baby. He’s known to delay drops if the quality doesn’t meet his standard—a trait fans appreciate. The final release on August 22, 2025, ensures a polished product.

Streaming and Chart Expectations

Will The Leak$ Go No. 1?

If WHAM is any indication, The Leak$ is set to debut strong. With major features, a loyal fanbase, and a strong social media presence, industry insiders are already predicting another No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200.

Here’s why:

  • Lil Baby’s streaming numbers are consistently high.
  • TikTok trends often spark from his unreleased snippets.
  • Anticipation has been building since mid-July when teasers first appeared online.

If The Leak$ lives up to the hype, it could dominate end-of-summer playlists and carry momentum into the fall.

How Lil Baby Keeps His Brand Strong

1. Staying Authentic

Lil Baby’s lyrics remain true to his upbringing and experiences. Whether discussing street life, success, or personal struggles, he rarely strays into fiction. Fans connect with that vulnerability.

2. Adapting Without Selling Out

From trap beats to experimental flows, Lil Baby adapts while staying recognizable. His ability to evolve with the sound of hip-hop—without losing his identity—is a major reason he stays relevant.

3. Building Strategic Collaborations

From Drake to Gunna to Travis Scott, Lil Baby has worked with hip-hop’s elite. But he also brings in rising talent, using his spotlight to boost others—something not every star does.

Fan Reactions: The Internet Responds

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram have been buzzing:

  • “Lil Baby back in album mode 🔥 #TheLeaks”
  • “Young Thug + Baby again? We’re eating!!”
  • “Delaying The Leak$ by a week is fine as long as it’s fire.”

Hype levels are high, and snippets circulating on TikTok have only amplified the anticipation.

What Makes The Leak$ Different From WHAM?

Tone and Energy

  • WHAM leaned into hype and energy.
  • The Leak$ appears to balance hype with reflection, offering deeper storytelling.

Features

  • WHAM had global stars like Travis Scott.
  • The Leak$ keeps it closer to home with more Atlanta collaborators and street-oriented voices.

This change could signal a more personal project—one made for fans who’ve followed Baby since Harder Than Ever.
