Artist Lil Baby released his album ‘WHAM’ early this year on Jan. 3, 2025. The extended version of the album features 19 tracks with 8 features on 6 different songs. Artists Travis Scott, Future, 21 Savage, Young Thug, GloRilla, Rod Wave, and Rylo Rodriguez all made an appearance on this album.
I personally do think this album had a lot of potential but with the number of songs it had, it blew me off on the length and the difficulties of the ups and downs of the album. I found about 8 songs that were okay and good. ‘Listen up’, ‘F U 2x’, ‘Redbone’, ‘Due 4A Win’, ‘Stuff (ft. Travis Scott)’, ‘Outfit (ft. 21 Savage)’, ‘99’, and ‘Runnin This Shit’ were all very enjoyable songs.
Compared to his other albums such as ‘My Turn’, ‘Street Gossip’, and ‘Harder than ever’, I do hope his music fades away from the direction he is trying to head with his music and somehow bring his catchy beats and lyricism way more into play.
One thing I did notice and loved a lot was that Lil Baby did start off this album with a very furious beat while he chose to scream out his accomplishments. Throughout the album I found it extremely easy to forget some of these songs only because I found no motive or story behind these songs at all.
Some of these beats were extremely hard to listen to and the flow of the songs just didn’t match the earlier tracks at all. The cohesiveness really lacked within this album and really would’ve been better without a lot of these tracks.
So, the album ‘WHAM’ was quite easy to listen to just because the flow and lyrics in his verses were easily catchy since Lil Baby is known for his lyricism but from what I have heard from others and for myself, most of the songs are easily forgettable.
