“I’m dropping The Leaks next week for my birthday, 12/3,” he wrote. “To celebrate with the fans who kept these leaks and snippets alive. Presave link in bio. And it’s still WHAM Wednesday… new song and video at 12 PM ET.” The message immediately sparked excitement across social platforms, especially after weeks of the rapper teasing new material through his rapid-fire Wednesday release streak.

The Leaks has been a major topic of discussion since Lil Baby revealed that the album would rework several leaked tracks into finished versions. The 16-song set blends viral snippets with brand-new music and features Playboi Carti, Lil Yachty, Lucki, Veeze, Rylo Rodriguez, Bino, and G Herbo. Last summer, Baby explained that most of the leaked tracks circulating online were early drafts, noting that the official album versions reflect his intended vision.
Originally scheduled for August and later pushed to September, the project now appears firmly locked in as part of a strategic end-of-year slate. The Leaks follows his previous chart-topper WHAM, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 140,000 units and nearly 120 million streams.
The announcement arrives amid Lil Baby’s ongoing “WHAM Wednesday” series, which has delivered a new song and video every week since early November. Recent releases such as “Real Sh-t,” “Otha Boy,” “Try to Love,” and “All On Me” featuring G Herbo have kept anticipation high and reinforced the momentum surrounding the upcoming album.
